NON-MFC: Round 21

[John Demonic 5,484]

Watching Freo and Essendon,

we need a lot more speed.

[Clintosaurus 7,542]

Longmuir lost that. Dogga had to be in at the last centre bounce. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,145]

They found a way to stay alive.  

[The heart beats true 17,737]

Weak from Freo. They’ll never be taken seriously.

[dees189227 12,020]

Ugh what a horrible weekend of football. 

What a last terrible centre bounce by freo

Probably helps fitness-wise in the last quarter when you haven't travelled for 10 weeks and play an interstate side who travels every second week.

Still, that's despicable from Fremantle. Top 2 is on the line and they've lost to a side who hasn't looked capable for a month, from 25 points up with 15 to play.

But hear me out on this: Fremantle's had one decent win since Round 7, which was vs Sydney in Round 16, and even that now looks less strong given Sydney's fallen in a hole. Since Round 7 their other wins have been Richmond (twice), St Kilda, us (twice), GC and WC.

Damn it 

[titan_uranus 24,556]

Essendon will beat GC next week. If Carlton lose to Hawthorn, Essendon will move back into the 8 with two to play.

Admittedly their last two are Sydney and Brisbane, but with Sydney's form nosedive, how can you say right now that Essendon can't win that? If they win that, they get to 13.5.

The only saving grace here is the prospect that they can still miss finals from 13.5 (Carlton and Hawthorn have easy fixtures to get to 14 wins, the Dogs too, and Fremantle just needs one win to get to 13.5 and will hold them out on percentage if needed).

[dees189227 12,020]

Freo could have stayed top 2

They gave up 5 goals in the final term.

Now they've kept essendons final chances alive. 

They were in total control.

Ugh

Meanwhile Brisbane are absolutely torching the Saints.

[DubDee 24,293]

All we have to do is lose to GC away and pick 6 is ours!

Agree.

And both teams really looked to exploit that when they played us.

Umps on a different planet.
One pays holding the ball, one pays dangerous tackle. 
Why does dangerous tackle win out?

They should have to duke it out.

Freo missed fyfe today & his leadership 

[DiscoStu17 672]

After the first 2 games today, I’m half expecting Saints to win this.

Vs Billing’s, macadam , schache, Hunter , Fullerton all staring & @ vfl level, not sure how they got this so wrong and can’t expect all to impact but barring Hunter who is struggling we have no gains 

Duuuude how about you take this to an MFC thread? Please. It’s not a big ask and I’m asking nicely. Some of us love this thread while watching NON-MFC matches. One post sooking it up about our club here and there is bearable, but you’re like a broken record… over and over again. It’s insufferable.

Thanks Kelly Underwood for that lovely description. 
And good afternoon to all the  personal care workers and residents out there.

Right???! It’s [censored] annoying and it’s at a point where this thread is meaningless because it’s no longer only about NON-MFC matches. It used to be fun watching those matches while on this thread but it’s become contaminated and is only getting worse. 

[layzie 32,717]

Stick your dukes up

[DubDee 24,293]

When Freo beat the Cats next week

the top 5 will be all non Vic teams

So that would mean only 2 finals in Melbourne  6v7 and the GF.

2006 was close. Top 4 were all interstate.
