Really hope we're not in the running for Karl Amon Buchanon if its anywhere near the 700k x 5 that Hawthorn are offering.

Jokes aside, I think Yze to Port might be the best option at some point next year. Although I can see Koch backing Hinkley for another half decade with a 5th-8th ladder position finals berth next year. No guts No glory

It's definitely the TMACLAND podcast this week Do we don't we!

It would've been an insane two groupings after hopefully a QF v Sydney win - You would've had the media anointed premiership contenders all in one group, then all of the clubs that were fancied early on in the season, that the media have all jumped off. Anyway, not to be: silver lining is a better all round finals series and probably a tougher draw to prime any team good enough to make a GF.

Why would that be preferable to a Loser of Geelong v Fremantle and winner of 5v8 Brisbane v Carlton playing us in a prelim?

Was hoping Freo would get Geelong, then Collingwood, Richmond and Sydney were all in the same grouping, after we win the QF Then we would've had most likely: Fremantle, Brisbane or Carlton in a prelim lol

I'm too positive and optimistic this morning knowing we're in the top 4 to come up with some mfcss nightmare that Sydney are up by 30 points at 3/4 and they hit 50 because Max King kicks 0.4 in the last quarter. Oh wait...

Wow, dissecting an off-hand remark, like it's a Callum ah Chee concussion case. "Smith seems to be becoming some kind of combo of Hawkins, Farmer and Jesaulenko with every post..." "You were pumping up Weideman like he was Wayne Carey all year" They're the same joke.

You're not picking up on the comparative hypocrisy here. Nobody called Smith a great player, but you made the wisecrack that they were behaving like he was a combo of all 3 great players. Well how about I make the same joke about the way you wanted Weid in the team over Brown... I'm not suggesting you said he was a great player... it's a wise-crack born from the same hyperbolic mockery you made on others.

You were debating people a few months ago about bringing in Weideman and dropping Brown, but here you are mocking people for suggesting Smith.

You were pumping up Weideman like he was Wayne Carey all year

I hate-watch FC - it's a guilty pleasure of mine to pop it on while doing the dishes n cleaning up. Time flies when you're listening to them discuss footy news and board issues like it's life n death.

The liquor cabinet and the undie drawer? September is going to be a mess

If we really want him, we'd be competing with a Geelong that would probably do it for pick 15-17, so you have to take that into account if we really want him. I'd only do a 1st round pick if it came with something coming back our way - Could we get Mihocek too? Or A mid 20's pick?

Jake Lever Forward?

Knowing your MFCSS, the most likely scenario is Tom 'school bully' Lynch and Dustbin Chopsticks Martin kicking 5 goals together in the last quarter of a 6v7 elimination final for the runaway tiger victory and humiliating walk back to Richmond station lol.

1st Q: An in form Rayner as their bullocking fwd/mid. Add: Zac Bailey & Zorko that weren't there in round 15 - What, if anything, will we do differently to that game? What will our matchups be for all of their dangerous small forwards and goal kicking mids? 2nd Q and looking ahead: Who are the podcast teams favoured matchups in the event of a win over Brisbane: A home final v Collingwood OR Sydney at the MCG, or Sydney at the SCG?

We don't want to beat Brisbane too well. We want to get that home SCG final remember Deeno! Just having a laugh, but no doubt I'm sure you saw the Swans performance yesterday with a bit of trepidation!? Anyway, Also agree. Harmes for Sparrow

By @george_on_the_outer on tonights pod? Just Kidding! I'm sure we can all agree that Hunt breaking the lines is brilliant for us when he's hitting targets, and boy was he doing it on Saturday night. Excellent by foot!

Yes. 1st in assists below.. to go with 33 goals.

A universe where Max King can kick straight? Upsets can happen. I rate the Dees a premiership threat, and they lost to the 9th placed Bulldogs...

Does Jumping ahead a couple of minutes on the delayed stream from the Curnow Mark to the Melksham mark count? I couldn't watch Curnow go back and kick it, and just wanted to see if it was over or not. Had to rewind and watch the lead up to the Melksham mark after that. I guess it's the equivalent of walking up the race, down the stairs and hearing an Almighty cheer as you're heading towards the turnstiles, but then rushing to standing room to watch the ending.

I think the difference between playing Collingwood as a 2/3 seed is a negligible enough reason to go for the outcomes that get it done. I'm done with watching other teams having to chase down % to leap frog us. As if the Saints are going to fight to the death to prevent a 30 point loss, instead of a 20 point loss that gives us an MCG final against the Swans. And id rather not play at the SCG - As I don't think the stadium is worthy of a Qualifying Final - Unremarkable spectacle on tv. Also I don't think we'll get the rub of the green. Freo is obviously the best option for us but its so unlikely its hardly worth mentioning lol

We can play Freo at the MCG if St Kilda beat Sydney and Collingwood lose both games.
