Thought the only thing happening in VIC was the 'Home of the Matildas'/FV upgrade at La Trobe Uni?

So MCG is 160m Long and 141m wide Docklands is 159.5m by 128.5 m Someone get the Strava out and let us know what the current oval is

We're a happy team at Hawthorn

LET'S DANCE

One part of the game I really dislike (from all teams), players deliberately not picking up the ball or conveniently dropping it to try milk a holding the man free.

Speaking of Ladder Watch, can someone please remove the one from Max Gawn's back. He must be tired of people sitting on his head. The Squiggle AutoPredict has us coming 3rd now. Geelong game will be huge, but expect more twist and turns from other teams too

Yeh i love the way he chases players with the ball (just hopefully with less push in the backs). Exciting with and without the ball, a joy to watch in full flight. I know he's not the only one doing this in the AFL, but after winning free kicks or after good tackles, just shoving the player when they're already on the ground etc. Isn't crunching a bloke enough these days?

Hopefully he can improve his set shots but love watching him play. just want to know why he’s so angry with the free kicks against and pushes/bumps etc. Aggression ok but chill a little aha

We have won 1 game in the last month which isn’t promising. BUT tonight, there wasn’t a lot in it despite some of the commentary about the doggies. they took their chances, we went into the sheds at half time 2.7

Seems we're in a Covid Window, Premiership Window and a (Baby) Delivery Window.

The Melbourne Cricket Club, on behalf of the MCG, is understood to already be working on a new Covid plan for spectators at the footy. Sources have confirmed new entry parameters could include: No food or drink on sale inside stadiums. Masks to be worn at all-times. Staggered entry times to avoid queueing. A bigger spread of seating.

Admin note OUT: GOLD COAST SUNS IN: WESTERN BULLDOGS (joke probably made in the thread already, but we'll allow it)

Imagine we've probably seen our last regular season game in person. Bad week for Dogs, lost a player to ACL, another player to quarantine and now have to face the top8 juggernaut

Yep, included Matches Played for the reference of others but just couldn't be bothered doing the math for each stat. His tackling #s compared to some of the other mids is elite especially as he's played half the games of some of the others Tackles - 4th Tackles inside 50 - 2nd

I know statistics aren't everything but some of the key outputs (from a scoring POV) of the mids so far this season .

If i was a Geelong fan i'd be annoyed. Fans can't attend so commercially doesn't make much of a difference - why not play at their home ground which suits them better. But also ahaha @ Geelong.

Yeh, we are static at times and just wanting the ball at a contest (which works from time to time but not every time), i'd like to see more movement in the f50. Melksham seemed to find a target with his kicks into the f50, wonder if he's close to a recall.

Very odd feeling after the game. Fumbled everywhere tonight, hawks didn’t seem to struggle as much. Some inaccurate kicking tonight was costly. as someone else said, Pickett’s set shots are confusing. Should just play on every time aha

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/980201 OUT: Harmes (EAR INFECTION) IN: Aaron vandenBerg Curious how AVB will go, if Nate was fit, wonder who would have gotten in

It's an interesting one, if we weren't eligible for Mac Andrew would we still be urging for a Phased Out approach of a system that wasn't really fair to begin with? Hoping he sneaks through, would like to benefit from a rule that has helped other clubs but if it doesn't what can you do.

They're either listening to Queen - Bohemian Rapsody or Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

The only positive from this is I will save money by not buying pints on the weekend .

With these Injury reports, Feels like we're getting a full viewing of the extended backroom cast to prepare for a post Burgo era aha In Previous years has it been the same? (Dif staff etc)

if Jesse Hogan was still on our list it might be possible.
