TEAMS: PF vs Geelong
The AFL world seems to be Harping on about the fairytale angle. Maybe we play him as sub and the umps blow the whistle and award a free everytime he goes near it #FreeKickBulldogs !

TEAMS: PF vs Geelong
Over on Reddit, a few Geelong fans think Fort might be a surprise inclusion, apparently played well in reserves all year, but hasn't been named emergency Before. I know nothing about him. Anyone? Edit: Ruck. Well that would be a curve ball. Prob C.Scott mindgames there.

They need a forward don't they, Weideman and next year's 1st/2nd might get it done?

No need to improve, this years grand final winner gets the 2021 and 2022 premiership, with a years bye.

Hypothetically, We'd want that Rory Lobb ruck/fwd thrown in there too (Does he still play there?)

I think that was a throwback to the Sydney trade offer.

How about Jack Viney? *Ducks for cover*

PF: Melbourne vs Geelong
Feel too nervous and jittery to read this thread and discuss the game, lineups etc. I wonder if it would be different playing Port or the Dogs. The idea of losing to the Cats makes me sick to my stomach. Pregame jitters on a Monday 🤒 Next week if we make it, I think I'll be in a more celebratory mode, absolutely immersed in all footy discussion and media!

POLL: Preliminary Final Opponent
I want Bris over WB & Port too, even though Port v WB would be a cracker. Prefer to avoid everyone but GWS & Bris, who will absolutely gas themselves if they were to get over Geel & WB/Port respectively. Bring on the worse spectacles for neutrals!

Trade Targets
Maybe we'll hear a few rumours leak from our own club with a few players begging to come next year. "Yup, we'll take you as a free agent Mr Billings, you'll be on 350k with performance incentives. We have standards here!"

NON MFC: Rd 23 2021
Loving the salt from Dogs fans that think they're the best team in the comp.

NON MFC: Rd 23 2021
Leaving aside the question of matchups, Roffey and Pert will be pretty chuffed to get that minor premiership cash injection into the club and it's facilities. What is it like 600-800k or so?
-
NON MFC: Rd 23 2021
I don't think there's any favourable matchup anymore, I've resigned myself to that. Going into this round, Port at OUR neutral venue was the best outcome, and look how that turned out with them putting in their best performance of the year. Win or lose tonight, the QF will be tough whoever and wherever we play. And the differences will be minute.

What they're saying down at Moorabool Street (in an alternative universe)
Grimes has made a career out of holding the man/cheating. May is about as clean as you can get at that height in a wrestling contest 1 on 1. Only bettered by Harris Andrews imo What does "one console at a time" Petracca mean?

GAMEDAY: Rd 23 vs Geelong
I can see us never playing Geelong again and potentially a straights sets exit for the Cats. Port & Syd/GWS or Bris & WB. Pick your poison. I do think we're good enough to beat Bris, but talk about a tough bracket if you lose and then play WB in a semi.
-
Trade Targets
They'd want one of LJ, Kozzie or Oliver too. Our pick 18 and Future 18 ain't going to cut it for King. I think we should be aiming more for a free agent key forward and developing our own, given it will cost very little in trade assets. Trading for a high draft pick kpf is a pipe dream.

AFL TRADE NEWS AND RUMOURS
Haven't watched Lynch this year, but have always wanted him on our list. How has his form and fitness been this year? and comparatively v Melksham, who he'd be in contention with for a half forward role in the 22 next year, if we gave him a years or two contract? I suppose with Melksham perhaps playing a role in the finals, and being contracted until the end of 2022, there isn't much point, unless his upside for a few years is worth the small gamble?

Clarko leaves Hawks
Interesting. Clarko was out of the game for 8 years and Hardwick 6 though. I thought clubs had pivoted away from taking on young coaches fresh out of the game like Mitchell 4 years back, and wanted extensive 5-10+ year apprenticeships, given what we've seen with Voss.
-
Clarko leaves Hawks
I found his SEN interview with Whately hilariously raw and unprofessional. Not the kind of answers you give as the head of an organisation. It was soap opera play ground sounding stuff. Very Insincere in hindsight. Easy to forget this guy is only 38. insanely young age to be a coach of a professional sporting organisation. Its going to come back to bite them hard.

TEAMS: Rd 20 vs Gold Coast
Not only missing the top 4 @spirit of norm smith, but in danger of playing WCE in a Perth Finals bubble as the 6th placed home team ?

NON-MFC: Rd 16 2021
Hey @Demonland I found a pretty good ladder predictor that's faster and more intuitive than AFL one. just one tap slider margin scale and onto next game . https://predictor.squiggle.com.au/
