Richmond wasteful going forward. Remind you of anyone.

I never miss an opportunity to try on a new veil of negativity.

Actually the most MFCSS thing that could happen this Round is for all the results we want to come off and then we lose. ?

Geelong are certainties tonight. How's that for MFCSS by proxy.

You're killing me.

Gil tried to compare the AFLW season length with The World Cup saying "The World Cup goes for four weeks, you wouldn’t call that a Mickey Mouse tournament." I think he forgets that the world cup finals starts 30 months earlier in the qualifiers and involves over 200 countries.

I think Saty took this photo.

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-08-03/walker-bowled-over-by-new-career HE WAS once teammates with the likes of Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and Aaron Finch. And now Guy Walker will be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Nathan Jones, Jack Viney and Max Gawn, after he was secured by Melbourne as a category B rookie. Walker, 22, will officially join the club on November 1 in the lead-up to the 2019 AFL season. Before this date, he will only be able to complete a limited number of AFL approved sessions with the club. And he will not be able to train with the AFL squad. Walker will be Melbourne’s second category B rookie for the 2019 season, after Austin Bradtke – the son of former Australian basketballer Mark – was claimed via the same rule earlier in the year.

Huge week for the Dees this week in Non-MFC games. Obviously we want the Tigers to win. We need the Dons to do us a few favours in the run home and this is a huge one. The Lions are the only real chance of a team knocking off the Kangas in the run home. No brainer that we want the Crows to win. We want Sydney to win if we can win 3 or 4 games but Collingwood if we're only going to win 1 or 2. If you want to go down the rose coloured glasses route then Freo knocking off the Eagles would help out my Top 2 dream.

Daisy slams the handling of the AFLW competition calling it a "simmicky tournament" after it was reported in the Herald Sun today that each club in the upcoming AFLW home-and-away season will play just six games, with two weeks of finals. This comes despite the league expanding to 10 clubs. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/08/02/a-gimmicky-tournament-pearce-slams-afl's-handling-of-aflw/

It's been a hard slog for almost 2 decades now.

1 goal but we lost by 4 points. Had he not kicked that goal we would have made the finals.

Wow. At the start of the year I thought he would be a smokey to make it into the team and add something. Best of luck to him in the future.

Once again coming up against an overwhelming favourite who is injury free. Give me an injury riddled, gastro infested, interstate team who have to bus in due to a pilot's strike.

The wash up. 3 have us as Runners Up. All have us making the finals. 4 have Max for the Brownlow.

Could it be Oskar Baker?

Reading between the lines this doesn't sound good to me.

I find it bizarre that Tom Mitchell didn't get a single vote. I will admit to not watching many, if any, Hawthorn games but I do note his almost weekly racking up of 40 possessions. Perhaps those possessions are not seen as being influential by the coaches. Was he overlooked or is he overhyped by the possession count?
