POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs Hawthorn
Not an ideal result, but here's some perspective for the doomsayers: We are not in our prime now, we are coming into it. We are not going to be at our best every week. Our forward structure is still gelling 2 points is as good as 4 in the context of the season at this stage The only stat we lost was tackles We are on top of the ladder We have beaten 7 out of 8 teams in the 8 right now. Anyone who says we are pretenders has a very low football IQ Bottom dwelling teams that have proven to bring us down to their level do not feature in September Just because we are on top of the ladder doesn't mean supporters are entitled to a season where nothing goes wrong. You'd think after the years of mediocrity that people around here would be more mentally resilient, watching some of you throw your toys out of the cot after a loss is embarrassing.

I've recently done this and it felt like that first really cold beer on a hot day. Highly recommend.

When considering the metric of beating a team by 186 points, it's not so much how good you are. It's more about how bad the other team is. No good team ever lost to a great team by 186 points.

You strike me as someone who is very big on the internet, but very small at the pub My issue is your hurling personal insults at someone who you presumably haven't even met. Stick to the footy.

Which MFC player have you met personally?
Met Gawny back in 09 in Fed Square before QB I believe. I'm 6"1 and I look tiny in the photo we took together. Great bloke Met Robbo too, another champion bloke. One of my fav players growing up. The player I'd most love to meet (and ideally have a beer with) would have to be Stevie May.

Commentary officially died when the great man retired

BB made a difference
I think your scope in which Ben can impact the game is limited to the very tradition metrics on which we measure a key forward i.e. goals, marks i50 etc If you look beyond those traditional metrics you'll see multiple ways BB positively impacted the game

Oh thats a good one - BT's different words for describing a kick "A slider", "a dribbler", "a chiseler". There are many more, cant think of them all right now. wow wee

BB made a difference
I thought he was really good. Its pretty clear to me that Tmac and our smalls are a lot better off when we have Ben to drag away their best defender. Thought Brown did excellent work up the ground presenting a really strong target with clean hands. BB is definitely part of the equation now, can't see him getting dropped unless he has multiple mares in a row. Sorry SW

The best part of wins like that is we don't hear from @Dr.D for a little while, who has once again got it completely wrong We don't lose to the comps best teams, its that simple.

Do you even hope you're wrong, or do you actually enjoy us losing?
