The Nick Watson coddling and love fest in spite of the quiet game is nauseating. 

 

He wasn't just quiet he got a spanking from Wicks.

this has been a dud fixture since its inception.

It's only made sense as a crowd building exercise to kick off the season, but even then there would be better ways to achieve that purpose.

With opening round here it's lost whatever juice it once had and it's just a random Thursday night game now.

I’d laugh if the Tiges got up. 

Absolutely no version of the multiverse where this happens unless the multiverse is one where the team with the lowest score wins.

Port to beat pies

north over the dogs

eagles to do GCS

can that be a multi. ????

I’m looking forward to Saturday night’s match - the Centrelink Cup - would love to see Port demolish the Pies. 

From 'The Age' just now:

Collingwood premiership star Brayden Maynard was involved in a car accident on Thursday morning.

The Magpies said no one was injured in what football boss Charlie Gardiner described as “an unfortunate accident” involving another car.

Sounds like he drives in much the same manner as he plays football, except he didn't injure anybody this time.  "Unfortunate accident", hey?

Just reminded of that ridiculous car a, car b analogy in his tribunal hearing.

All good. It was a driving act. He didn’t expect the other car to change direction. He’ll bring wine and flowers to the other drive tomorrow.

Definitely. Before the introduction of opening round the footy-starved masses looked forward to the Carl vs Rich Thursday night season opener, no matter who they support. It wasn’t so much that it’s Carl or Rich, it’s that it’s footy. 

I'm so keen to watch almost any footy but I can't get the interest to watch tonight

Is anyone going to watch?

This game should be tucked away on Sunday at 1pm

I’m surprised it’s not on free-to-air.

Just realised it is. You mustn’t have an antenna, right?

His 2nd accident in a few months. Either he doesn't concentrate or he's a bad driver

A quote from Maynard at the scene

"Bruz car hit other car, make noise"

I wonder if bystanders started up the long Collllliiiinnnnngggwwwooooddd chant or maybe they only use that for when the other driver is lying motionless and unconscious. 

Only Lalor and Trainor make the 27 from their draft haul 

I’m tipping Lalor to have a Wines-like impact and win the rising star

May need Levi to pull a hammy!

why do I bother with SuperCoach at all?!

So apparently he crashed into a Ute. Not concentrating?

This is going to make the site crash Saturday afternoon....

The ABC news says it was his second such crash in 14 months.   

Make a game of tonight’s match so you don’t get bored. Have a shot of tequila every time Carlton kick a goal, you’ll be hammered by quarter time. Then have a sickie tomorrow.

None of the articles say the time Maynard's 'accident' happened.  Last time he crashed his car it was 6.00am.

Is the media protecting that scum species again!

 

Please can we not make this a Maynard thread. I don’t want to have to moderate or close the NON-MFC Thread. Just boo the [censored] on KB.
