NON-MFC: Rd 16 2023

[The heart beats true 16,450]

Why would Bailey Humphry sign on for 5 more years of this?

 

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,322]

Seeing so many reprobates in the crowd enjoying themselves is putting me off my dinner. 

[Winners at last 4,790]

I hate the filth.

[layzie 29,286]

Just put it in a blender I'm done

[layzie 29,286]

Who wants to be the first to say go Bombers and get put in their place?

Butter staging for head high contact.

Why is this game at the MCG?

Bulldogs played at Marvel a bit earlier? Or does that not normally matter?

Yeah not sure how many hours are needed between games at the same venue. But seeing Essendon and Carlton both playing home games at the MCG versus interstate teams makes me angry.

Is Daicos that good? Is he better than the Bont or Dawson or Butters right now? Is he just racking up cheap possessions of half back? I have no doubt he uses it well but is he rightfully the Brownlow favourite? I personally don’t think he’s the best player in the game.

The best player in the game doesn’t always win the Brownlow, Oliver is a prime example of that. Daicos x 2 are both guns.

They never usually play 2 games at the same venue on the same day outside of gather round or emergencies.

So if the Bombers win tonight, it doesn’t bode well for the AFL in fixturing integrity where all teams off the bye lose against a non bye team.
 

With so much other inequity, this just adds another dimension.

I’d say 90% of Brownlow’s won since the 80’s haven’t been won by the best player in the game.

Carey, Ablett Snr, Matthews. It’s an incredible list.

Come on Port. We have got the bummers down to 8th.

 

[YearOfTheDees 3,106]

At least their seconds are flying the flag, a white flag but a flag never the less.

[layzie 29,286]

They stink 

[Gawndy the Great 7,642]

That’s not a free. He threw himself to ground. How gullible and silly are these umps.

And yet they still can’t get to 186 😂

Just send them to Tasmania and keep the competition at 18 teams.

No doubt because Essendon requested it.

[Stinger 417]

Weids looking good this quarter. Running back with the ball and halving contests. 

[ANG13 1,525]

I was complaining earlier about Essendon playing a home game at the MCG. Now that it’s flogging down rain I am not so upset. Just need Port to win now. 

[monoccular 16,282]

Have these umpires ever ever played the game - zero feel of the game calling that deliberate (5;00 to go Q3).

Pissing with rain, off balance - about 50 cm from the line.  Absurd

 

[BDA 20,401]

umps being kind to Essendon

ANG13 - I am a bit conflicted re tonight's result.

It is looking more and more like 4th is the best we can expect, so having cocky Collingwood at 1 would be way better than Port.  Would far prefer Collingwood at the G than Port over there.
