Local what?

I think that's missing the point a bit. 1. It's difficult for our tall forwards with the long bombs in, especially into the pockets. 2. When it does come in like that, it's carried out by the opposition super fast like it's bounced off a brick wall. We don't seem to get many goals front and centre 25 metres out off packs when it's brought to ground. Richmond got quite a few on Monday as it got locked in and their defensive wall around the arc was in place. We're still not locking the ball in our forward 50 very well. So, it's great we're the second highest scoring team in the comp, but our forward entries and defensive efforts are still clunky. I think We could really smash teams if we improve and find consistency in these areas.

Our beautiful game shines through when those yellow clowns get out of the way and stop blowing the whistle so much. The last quarter and a half they've hardly got involved and it's awesome to watch even though I really dislike both teams.

This game is being played at a frantic pace. They'll be out on their feet by the last. Will be interesting to see who is fitter.

Yep exactly. Bloody hard for the likes of BBB and JVR if the ball movement is slow and bombed in

Aaaargh, the image in my brain WCW aaargh

Mute button already deployed. BT and Brayshaw, a match made in hell

Another softy right in front of goals. I don't think his mullet was touched

Kade Chandler is showing him how it's done so far this season. Really impressed with his defensive efforts, hard running and getting to the fall of the ball. Maybe all of this contract stuff is getting a bit distracting for Koz? I'm sure he'll click sooner than later. He's just gotta keep his feet on the ground and be at the fall of the ball.

It seems to me that Viney is slowly transforming his game to go forward more and to play a bit more outside as well.

Lotsa love to you Dee Fence. Hope watching the Dees have a win gave you a little reprieve from some horrible stuff.

Viney and Max really lifted us in the third. Bowey had a great second half. Chandler is really making the most of it. Congrats to the lad. Showed Kozzy how it's done tonight. Hilarious that Goody said they had JVR ready to be subbed when he kicked that first goal. Great shut down game by pig. What's happened to our defensive game in the forward line? Goody used to bang on about it all the time. I think there were 6 mins left in the second before we applied a good tackle inside our 50 and Petty goaled. The ball has just been rebounding out for far too long now. Is May a bit crook? Lots to work on but a fantastic game. Well done to everyone who showed up. Great crowd. Has the MFC ever officially complained about umpiring? I can't remember a time in the past 40 years. Geez it was suss tonight.

Bowie's getting wowee again.

He should have been subbed in for ump 20

I wanna start a thread on this.

Ironically talked by Gus but he didn't get a toe on it

Love that kid. He's going to be a cracker

A massive quarter by Viney. Just a bull. Great gut running by Chandler (to then get pinged for having two players jump on his back) Max really pushing hard too It's a great contest. Glad we're kicking pretty straight at goal

Gus kicked the ball how is that HTB. There's money involved here. It stinks

What exactly was Chandler supposed to do then?

Anything come of that betting scandal last year? Tigers were juicy odds. Quite breathtaking umpiring tonight

Yeah I thought the Sydney game was brilliant. It gave me a lot of confidence for the season and then....... It's been a rollercoaster so far.

Haha, yes but those rashes cleared up once I stopped fraternising with Collingwood supporters

I was very worried watching this game. Yes, TMac and BBB we're bog ordinary but our troubles seem to run deeper. 1. Teams seem to be pulling our game apart now at both levels. The put pressure on us and block the corridors and we're just panicking and blind kicking and bombing it long into our forward line. 2. We just look slow and tired this year. I Went to the lions game and we looked cooked. We looked flogged against Essendon last week at both levels. As I watch the Crows rise, I think we're missing Burgess. Our hard, two way running in waves is disappearing at both levels. Teams are getting the opportunity to cover us

I've had this nervous rash for years. I went to the doctor and he said it's called mfcss. He said it's incurable but can be treated with a premiership and it will go away for a while. ......the rash is coming back
