NON-MFC: Round 12

[DeeZee 7,378]

That was the most satisfying non Dee’s win of the year

[pitmaster 3,548]

Unlike Daicos senior, who carries on like a two bob watch in a kind of look-at-me way when one of his kids does anything, Darcy senior behaved like a mature and serious observer of the game when his son put a dagger through the Magpies' black hearts.

I loved everything Darcy junior did last night, from hitting Maynard to sealing the win. He is going to be one heck of a player and there will be a time when he gives us cause to hate him, so when that time comes I'll need to remember this game as consolation.

Excellent observation.

Luke Darcy seems to understand its Sam's turn now and quietly revels in it. He doesn't probably need to live vicariously through his children.

Daicos snr is just a bit weird. Not a bad thing but overexposure is beckoning.

Maybe Luke's got just a bit more on his plate than Peter?

Daicos boys are first rate anyway but in the last 1/4 It looked like Beveridge had a plan for Nick to curb influence at critical times.

But wasn’t Luke there working and Peter was in a corporate box on the juice? If my kid was winning games of AFL of his own boot I’d carry on however I like

I know we moan on missing players in the draft (ie Curnow/Weidmann).

But poor St Kilda must cry every time they see Bont, he’s an absolute gun (they picked Billings).

And McCartin before Trac.

Glad Maynard didn’t get knocked this game and will be playing against us. Jack over to you now to do with him as you wish.

Or is it a case of a very wishful-thinking 'Here's one I prepared earlier'?

Pretty amazing contested game from Nick Daicos. Any small lingering doubt about his work in this area, now completely dispelled. He's a tremendous player.

Yes, unfortunately won't happen

Geez Darcy is a player. He looks more composed that JUH and more consistent already. 

Is it possible to just laud another player without denigrating one of ours ?

Jonathon “General” Patton (Giants then Hawks then oblivion), a combination of the thickest longest neck and a tiny head  

His head looks like Gerry Gee Junior doll

Any weekend that starts with a pies loss is a good one.

I thought concussion tests only happen to people with a brain!!

Due to my personal calendar and the footy fixture, I have watched a number of Bulldogs games this year. Over the past 4 weeks I have been impressed with their both method and form. And some of their young players are emerging quickly. They still have some defensive issues and the forward set up is messy at times, but they are going to cause some issues for those trying to get top eight positions 6,7, and 8. 

I love the look of Sanders, O'Donnell and Darcy.

Agree 100%.  They are a quality side playing high class footy. If they get the timing right they could very well threaten at the business end.

If he stopped throwing his head back, lifting his arms when he gets tackled and sooking to the umpires all the time he would be enjoyable to watch

I mean Ugle-Hagan STILL hasn’t kicked a goal for us so I think it’s deserved? 
 

(I genuinely can’t tell if this is a joke or serious comment)

Media expecting 1-2 match ban for Darcy

harsh

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

Can Demonland make Darcy’s humping of Maynard video of the week please. 

[dees189227 12,390]

Interesting to see the hawks/ crows game. Might be close 

I wish we got some of these 1:45 games on a Saturday afternoon

AFL umpire number 15... Nichols needs to get over himself and retire.
