NON-MFC: Rd 22 2023

[BDA 22,735]

Umps being kind to Lions thus far

[Chook 15,012]

Australia looks very lethargic. France's ball handling far better in the early game so far. They'll will win this easily I'm afraid...

Adelaide missing their 3 most important defenders in Doodee, Butts and Murray. Be hard to see how they can contain Brisbane’s dangerous attack.

[Chook 15,012]

France unlucky to not receive a free kick there...

Cheering against Aussie teams because of the media , ok then. 

I find it more enjoyable to cheer for my country than against it

You’re no great loss to the nation that’s for sure.

rubbish decisions to the Lions. Very pro hometown umpiring here.

What have the frogs ever given us except grief about our submarine fleet and a whole lot of funny sounding words into our vernacular. Go Australia.

Essendon ahead of Geelong on the ladder despite being belted twice by them.

Sometimes the ladder lies.

Essendon beat us convincingly. Yes, yet ladder tells the truth in this case.

Also wine and good cheese.

Going nicely in the percentage area at present if we can't have a Crows win

As the great David King once said, it’s not who you play, it’s when you play them.

Essendon in gather round being a prime example.

Crows by a point at half time. Dare to dream?

[Chook 15,012]

A one goal win. Women's or mens I don't care. Both.

Hope the ‘Burgess’ team fitness kicks in the  2nd half and they roll Brisbane

Dees by 60. This is the non-mfc thread Jaded.

[Chook 15,012]

Aussies doing all the attacking but it doesn't look to me like either side will be able to overcome the opposition defence. The best chance of the game was to the Aussies late in the first half but blocked by the French Jake Lever (damn you rick).

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Even if the Lions win, I hope this low margin remains because so far it’s dropped their percentage again. 

[Chook 15,012]

Worried about Australia right now. I think with Sam Kerr coming on France has a sneaky chance to slip in under the overly-attacking mindset brought on by the crowd and the sub.

How the -uck are none of these going in the net.

France is being super-professional right now. Very worried. Don't stuff this up by being too aggressive!!!

Just the nature of sports entertainment. Some teams favoured.
