Fixed.

A frustrating aspect with this kind of thing too is that the writers don't get to choose the headline. That one is a travesty of journalistic integrity. Ridiculous article text in the early paragraphs. Making out that it was our choice not to wear an indigenous guernsey (I think the supposed clash was nonsense anyway given the markedly different brightnesses of the respective guernseys), then the situation is labelled a "debacle", with the inference that the MFC was the cause!!! Absurd garbage.

The Rivers to wing idea is an interesting one. Concerns about his tank could be alleviated by rotating Hunt through there to give him a breather, and bringing in Bowey or Lockhart to fill the role in defence?

Jeez the Dogs really don't like pressure do they

Our defence is in song again tonight

Loving Rivers' work

Some [censored] figured a dark navy and red guernsey would be mistaken for a mission-blue dogs guernsey with a few flecks of red and white. Crazy.

Great work Spargo.

MFCSS: our best start to a season since The Beatles were a novelty and now the fixture is teetering on the brink.

Weed --> Colingwood; In: BBB Salem or failing that Lockart for Jetta Viney in if available (prob not) for someone.

Feel like that's been a few weeks in the making. Our pressure and sharpness has waned since the Richmond game. Hoping the team regroups and brings it next week or we'll undo a lot of the good work done to date. Salem out was a huge loss. Jetta in didn't really work. Too many players quiet. Oh for a Viney return!!! Must say I wouldn't mind seeing BBB in the fwd line next week for some tall presence. Did melksham return after foot issue with about 7 mins to go? On a positive note we can and often do play a lot better than tonight. Adelaide rode the crowd and biased umpiring with fearlessness.

[censored] disgrace

How is that not deliberate?????????

Come on dees!

Oliver you absolute superstar! Goals the last step the top echelon.

Langers you beauty!

Absurd. He was tackling from the side for f's sake!

What a clanger Petty we were lucky to get away with that

[censored] just letting the crowd do the umpiring. What an [censored].

The vision was appalling. Lynch is an absolute dog. They also had footage that other incident when he casually whacked a player that was prostrate on the ground in the back of the head, without even blinking. Deliberate acts felling a defender during a centre bounce puts the forwards in a huge advantage if they win a centre clearance. Hate to be clichéd, but it is far outside the spirit of the game.

Great interview Kiran and Nita. For those who haven't heard it yet, I was moved by a story Kate Roffey related where Laurie (I think) had copped an injury, and given that she recalled Trac had a knee reco and had thus related through his first year, she suggested that he seek him out for a chat - he responded that Trac had already dropped around to visit him. That just speaks volumes on where we are as a club - culture, maturity, the love they have for each other - and Trac's personal qualities. Brilliant stuff.

We look like we're running in treacle around the centre bounces

Looooooving TMac's marking and set shot kicking!

Umpiring is disgraceful

Fmd great effort to touch the ball on the line and all we hear from brayshaw is how good Eddie betts was
