NON-MFC: Finals Week 01

[Sir Why You Little 34,855]

I do not understand why The AFL does not take eye gouging seriously. It is a disgrace, going right back to Chris Judd. 
It is highly dangerous

And they didn't even need to call in their lawyers.

The MFC curse never leaves you

Giants small forward Toby Bedford was not so lucky, with Christian offering him a one-match ban for his bump on the Blues’ Zac Fisher. It is Bedford’s second rough conduct offence, after he was suspended for one match late last year when he was still playing for Melbourne, for a dangerous tackle on Swan Ollie Florent.

Christian assessed Bedford’s action as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.

GWS have already announced they will appeal the sanction in a bid to clear the ex-Demon for the Giants’ elimination final on Saturday week against St Kilda at the MCG.

I really feel for Toby Bedford. He’s been sensational this year, and deserves to play finals footy.

He made a split second decision to put his body in the way to do the team thing. It’s a tough penalty considering a player made a decision to scrape his hands over someone’s eyes and is free to play.

They should appeal and get him off. It’s a disgraceful suspension. Nothing in it. 
As if he’d get suspended if he wore a Blues, Pies or Sydney jumper.

Who are you tipping in the first week of finals and what’s the best results for the Demons?
 

Melbourne to make everyone's spidey-senses tingle by smacking Collingwood.

Carlton over Adelaide.

St Kilda and GWS to continue in a state of unobserved probabalistic uncertainty with neither being fully eliminated until the semi-final when someone finally looks and the wavefunction collapses. #quantumtipping

Brisbane over Port.

Adelaide are no chance at all.

I would love to see Carlton smashed by Sydney after watching the Dees give the filth a touch up. 

That would ensure a terrific weekend of gaiety and frolics at The Manor.

[Deebauched 1,219]

Would love those results too but cant see Swans beating Bluebaggers. Swans look tired.  Not the same team that beat us in the QF last year. 

Expect Curnow to receive loads of love from the umpires.

[YearOfTheDees 3,117]

Would love to see Carlton bundled out tomorrow night. 

GWS to beat the Saints 

Can see Port winning Saturday night. 

And what's the other game this weekend. I just go for which ever team finished lower on the ladder. 

[whatwhat say what 19,659]

they're all coin toss games

i'll go:

• us
• baggers
• gw$
• bears

Happy for Toby

[Deebauched 1,219]

Yes.  good luck to Bedford. Mathew Lloyd ripped into the AFL and suggested a name player would not have been suspended.

Sam MacClure  said he'd be absolutely shocked if the appeal succeeded. No way he'll be let off.

Wrong again.

[Clintosaurus 6,660]

Go Port. And Sydney

[Nascent 7,444]

So who do we want to win now?

I'm hoping Sydney and Port get it done. Think we match up better with Sydney and we play Adelaide oval better.

[Demonland 66,417]

Tonight is Carlton's first ever Final on Friday Night

[layzie 29,704]

Screw the rest of this finals round. Couldn't give a bee's [censored] what happens. Enjoy but I'm out!

[Diamond_Jim 12,008]

I had hoped to say who cares but unfortunately..... Go Sydney and Go Port

I hope Port and the Lions knock lumps out of each other. injuries left right and center.

Do not want to see Carlton win. An agonising loss would be best.

Would like to see the Saints get the win but i think GWS will be too strong for them.

🤔 Interesting. Seems no one jumped on you for this comment. Yet @Jaded No More was taken to task for saying similar last night. And before the offended mount their high horses again, wishing injuries is wishing injuries, no matter the type of injury.

BTW, I agree with both you and Jaded, BDA. 

[Deebauched 1,219]

Definitely want Port to win. Last place on earth we want to end up is  the backwater Gabba ground in a Prelim.

Could be a moot point. We will roll up next week with a fwd line that will struggle to kick 10 goals against tonights winner. We could have won the flag if our players kicked straight. Not happening.

Likely to go out in straight sets X 2.

4 lost MCG finals.... urghhhh.
