NON-MFC: Round 14



Recommended Posts

sorry @WalkingCivilWar, but something that i think is worth discussing re grundy - one of the advantages of trading him for reasonably similar to what we 'paid' for him is we got all his salary off the books

where'd the circa ~700k a year go? certainly not on fullarton or billings (with the aints apaz paying a portion towards that of his high salary)

i wonder whether we're paying 'unders' this year in order to maximise our salary cap capital in future years

now, back to non-mfc - imagine how good the bloods would be if they had been able to keep dawson

*sigh* Idk. I just wanna watch other sides play and not think about the MFC while doing so, especially on a bye weekend. As for Jordan Dawson though, the Swans are doing pretty well without him, dontchya think?!

The Crows have this. 

The Swans are very good but far from unbeatable 

The Crows are solid and their position belies their heir quality 

Parity becomes us all

can see the bloods doing what they always seem to be doing of late - give up a start in q1, grind their way into it in q2 and q3, and then run away with it in q4

seems to have been the modus operandi of late - it was ours for a while too over the 2021-23 years; you come unstuck eventually, as we know

it's a risky way to play

Rankine can come to the Dees whenever he wants.

what about rachele?

signed a massive deal and has 'disappointed' this year according to the likes of kornes (i think he's still been pretty good)

i'm not sure he's a mid - certainly hasn't rolled thru there this much this year - but he has played in that mid / fwd combo role in the past and has some nice skills

biggest query would be pace

I’d have him too.

Crows have great smalls coming through I reckon. That’s why they want Petty. When their midfield will be elite they’ll need support behind the ball to genuinely challenge. They want Harry to be their May.

Absolute waste of a list spot.  We can ill afford to be recruiting more downhill skiers.

Disagree but fair enough. Please let me know of another experienced/ tall forward/ rucking option that might be available at a reasonable rate. At the moment we have nothing.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89
