NON-MFC: Round 06



Recommended Posts

Going back to the filth match, why did the commentators insist on calling Hill "Bobby Hill" when he was the only player on the ground with that surname?

They did it EVERY TIME he got the ball, well other than the 2 times (in a row) that Der-Wayne called him "Bobby".

 I think this issue is more interesting than any discussion about the Swans/GC snoozefest.

You a little obsessed about this name thing, Bingers? 😅

Hope Goodwin is watching Grundy, biggest monumental stuff up by our club and  when Gawn retires soon, needed more time to make this work!

Brereton is the most patronising commentator. He’s just so condescending.

I cannot stand him. He says every single comment like it’s the most profound thing you’re ever gonna hear. In his mind, every time he draws breath to make a comment he’s the Dalai Lama and we’re his devoted adherents.

EXACTLY!!! I can’t believe people are still carrying on about this, especially when they clearly don’t know enough to justify passing judgement.

That was James Kelly pretending to fall asleep during the song, and iirc he was duly sch!tt-canned for doing so by the media and neutral supporters, in general.

I can’t imagine a player despising a club to the point of not considering a move to that club based only on that club’s dark past. Especially when that club has been successful of late including having won a premiership recently. If Yeo despises the Dees, there must be some other reason. Maybe a personal reason. 🤷‍♀️ 

Point of order dear friend, I seem to remember a certain Angus Brayshaw on Gus and Gawny saying he would rather eat his own (checks himself)  than go to WCE... something is up there.

Clohesy looks a serious prospect for GC.

I’m confused about the positive press GC are getting.

They’ll be 3-3 at the end of the round and their 3 wins have come at home against bottom 4 sides.

I’m pretty sure they could’ve managed 3-3 under Dew.

They still have something different this year. I actually think Dimma got out coached today, Sydney has done an excellent job of stifling GC run and rebound. GC should also have rejigged its defensive forwards.

Brisbane lost to Geelong on their home ground in conditions they should be more used to. And Brisbane has beaten us in our last two clashes. It just worries me. I hope your optimism proves justified, @binman

For the record, we defeated Brisbane toward the end of last year. In what would have been part of an 8-game winning streak heading into the finals were it not for a dodgy score review against Carlton.

I can't stand the pies, but to be honest it's more the media sycophantic saturation in the last two years that I really hate (though  I'm still disgusted with their fans booing Gus after being concussed)..

But really the only team I hate is the hawks. 

Leigh Matthews knocking Steven Smith out.

The prelim heart break.

Jarman refusing to come to the dees, and instead going to the hawks.

The grand final heart break.

The long run of losses.

The way they seemed to relish bullying and beating us.

Their smug MCC wannabes fans. 

Their stupid jumper. 

Jeff Kennett.

Jeff Kennett.

VFL Park.

 

Go roos.

But he knows what he is talking about in his analysis of player positioning and and what they are trying to do.

Other commentators do this too. But they don’t try to make Martin Luther King sound like he’s having a chin-wag with a buddy for S&Gs.

Has anyone here ever met someone that follows North Melbourne?

Once, 20 years ago. She was a co-worker, and pretty passionate to be fair. Wore here North jumper to work on game day, and wouldn't work when a game was on (she'd finish her shift then bolt to the G or Telstra Dome to watch).

Yes, there used to be one in the office next to mine. But only one.

My problem with Derm and other special commentators of a certain type is that they spend the whole game telling you what the players "should have done" or "were trying to do" instead of what's actually happening. They're trying to be coaches when they should be analysts.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
