NON-MFC: Rd 17 2023

After being pretty bitterly disappointed by almost everything football related last week...

Starting with the death ride games; not much to gain. Obvious Carlton v Freo is a big deal as it is both a game Freo would be expecting to win and it would directly lift Carlton over them thanks to the Blue's bizarre percentage.

Freo lose that, then one of Richmond or Sydney will step ahead of them. I'd prefer Richmond to get the win just because I think the Swans will keep clawing up the ladder enough to pass Freo later, while Richmond need every win they can get.

bunch of other games just keep teams ahead of Freo, rather than pulling in front of them.

 

And for our security in the top 4.

Collingwood over Dogs, and Demons over Saints, would put us a game and a big chunk of percentage ahead of our two main pursuers.

One of Essendon or the Crows will go to 9 wins, Essendon is probably better for us because the Crows have much higher percentage and Essendon will presumably choke late in the season.

Also, if West Coast decide to go the biff and get a bunch of players from both sides suspended that would be the only unpredictable or useful outcome of the Brisbane - West Coast game. I mean, legend has it that back before the Eagles unilaterally relegated themselves, there was a bit of a Eagles-Lions rivalry.

    A 16 point weekend for us (2x 8 point games)

    A Demon loss and a Dogs win is unthinkable (MFCSS)

    Everytime I see Sydney play, I wonder if Heeney is actually having a just above average career. He's been played forward but only kicked 200 goals from 160 games.

    I dunno. Considering the hype and talent, always expected him to be better than he has been

    Lol, team selection much more interesting than tonight’s game it seems. Not a bad game though

    We can include cricket talk in this right...?

    couldn't agree more

    thought a few years back he was going to be out and out superstar

    instead he's a serviceable roleplayer

    Tonights game is not a bad one either.

    Nope... feel like the press and build up over there has unfortunately starting to take a minor toll.

    Need to remain composed here.

    Can’t wait for Franklin to leave the game. Just turned the game on 10 minutes ago and he’s gotten away with a blatant throw then appeals for deliberate out of bounds and gets it when there’s was nothing in it. 
    Really hoping Tigers win.

    I reckon they made a great calling choosing to bowl. Put the pressure on us, and it worked.

    There is nobody I enjoy watching play footy more in a non Melbourne jumper than Bolton

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
