NON-MFC: Rd 08 2023

Don't think the port/ess game is of a high standard at all. Quite poor footy. If port can kick straight at goal they will win. Watch the bombers tire in the last.

Looking forward to Swans v Pies. I feel an upset at the G. 

DISCLAIMER....I Thought we'd win by ten goals last night so.....gamble responsibly.

Dermott literally just said ‘it’s a man’s sport, and that’s the way in needs to be played’.

Except for when it’s played by women Derm. Did he mean tough, uncompromising, or brave? There’s lots of other words. Use them, or go.

Dermott also said, while praising Weids, “All he needed was a bit more time, Melbourne should’ve been patient.”

😳

As ironic as Dermies comment is, I'd actually take him back at the minute for our fwd line issues but only short term.

Cripps is a great inside contested player but unfortunately the modern game just doesn’t suit his style as much as it used to. 

Poor man's Luke Dunstan

Great game Port v Bombers

I have never come across a commentator that just likes to get it out there as to how great he is (was) and how he is just such an effusive expert on all things football. He really does irk me big time.

Good crowd.

[leave it to deever 17,511]

These deliberate calls are stupid. You can't help the bounce of an egg shaped ball.

Don’t forget: Every time you hear Dermie do an intake of breath (meaning he’s about to say something) you must immediately assume an air of solemn respect, similar to how the masses would’ve been just before Confucius spoke.

Lot of feeling here. Will be a long game but gee I hope tge Swans can win

 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Get ready for some more commentary bias too.

Swans pies game is being played at 100 miles per hour

The only way to beat both Melbourne and Collingwood is to just bury them from the first bounce. Close contests and they're just too good with too much polish. 

Surely if both teams are 1st and 2nd come King's Birthday we get 90k+?

Hope so. Could be the game of the season. KB still sounds strange.

I think it says more around our game style and overall skill level. 
 

Weid is good 1:1 with space. He is not good in contested marking. If you recognise that and play to his strengths then he’ll generally perform better than he did for us. He just couldn’t do what we were asking if him.

I’ll spew if I’ve watched this game ‘til the end only to see Essendon win.

HANG IN THERE, PORT!

edit: no need to spew 🥳

Honestly port your kicking has been horrible & I'm yet to see a minute. But all those behinds you should have buried them

[dees189227 12,387]

Phew, well done port. Just keep climbing down that ladder Essendon 

[Return to Glory 8,434]

[leave it to deever 17,511]
