Fritta and Turner

I can't trust myself to judge the umpiring as I can't take off my red and blue goggles. I wonder what neutrals thought?

Glad you asked; they were terrible

I thought the JV lack of intent when he was sslung kicking it was a shocker; Rivers getting hit in the head and no free was not a good moment for the umps; but JVR dangerous tackle 50/50 and tbh I would like the umps to err on the side of caution in these situations...

Clarry - poor defensive game

Chin - could not run

Feel flat.  Trouble sleeping.

Will watch a replay of the first quarter (ouch)

Does Demonland ever write to the club? I reckon it has the standing and authority to do so. It would certainly have my support.

Dont know that but my great aunt Beatrice was always writing to the MFC Committee

Posters go to strange places to get offended

Hopeless case here, not confident at all, but I am wearing my Melbourne socks.  Had to tell you that.  Probs hide under a rock tonight.

How about 'Master McAdam has the ague'

I love how the goal umpire watches the ball as if it is contagious

Wing - and im pretty sure for the whole quarter.

Not sure about Dempsey, but id say Cameron was on Windsor at times, no vice versa in the sense that Cameron set up at a few center square restarts on the wing.

That said Windsor was def part of the combined efforts to shut Cameron down.  

So Windsor takes Cameron when Cameron pushes up the ground to leave TMc in the back line??

Not sure why Windsor was chasing Dempsey from the back pocket

Can someone tell me what role or position Windsor was playing in the first quarter?  Seemed to be on Cameron and Dempsey at some stages.

Strange game when the highlights package shows players kicking points

I must admit I have never been a big fan of Goodwin but this year he seems to have gone up a level. Doing a good job this season. But it once again shows players make coaches. 

What level was he on when we won the flag?

How far for d Max kick that goal from.

I reckon he was about 3 m from the centre square edge.

Ball went though about 4 m high mark.

I thought it was 55-60 metres

Camerons kicking boot had the flu

Fritta and I have something in common - I am very good at dribbling

Tom Stewart had little impact - did Turner play a defensive role on him? Tom Stewart having a mediocre game is a coaching triumph in itself. 

Yep, when TS plays well the media bang on relentlessly and when he doesn't they say Nothing

Got the nervous nellies.  Not confident.

Was the MFC still a 'sporting section' of the MCC at this time?  Perhaps the MCC library may have some records.

Crows playing the better team game.

JHF needs to stop playing as 'JHF' and actually watch the ball.

I've never seen Gawny go anyone in his entire career.

TBH neither have I but I have seen max give Nankervis a whack off the ball.  Tobes didnt like it but obviously deserved it.

I reckon we should honour Angus by winning the game.  Thats it.

I couldn't see a thread on this topic, but by my calculations Steven May reaches 100 games for the MFC this weekend.

He has truly been a colossus for the club over the past five years (let's not talk about 2019), and pretty clearly we don't win a premiership in 2021 without him. Add in a couple of All Australians, regular top 5 finishes in the B&F, and he is truly a great of the club.

Congratulations Steve, and hopefully there are plenty more games and accolades still to come.

 

Or was it last weekend? Has he played all 7 this year?

Anyway I was stunned when May said he wanted to play for the Dees - players don't do that.  Forever gratefull.  And his interactions with team mates is fun to watch.

Go Maysie.
