Mitch Brown. Today is your day, if you want to be an AFL Player today is the day to perform. The MFC need you to do a serious job

All he has to do is replicate his last outing with 20 possessions, 13 marks and 2 Brownlow votes and we will be very happy.

Concern as we have given up our 2021 first rounder for the kid and he isn’t even getting a run in the 2nds season opener

Hes obviously injured.  Played well last week and kicked a goal.

FWIW, that team is not the official lineup.

It is:

B: Lochart, Hutchins, D.Smith

HB: Bowey, J.Smith, Jetta

C: Baker, Quigley, Bedford

HF: Foot, Weideman, White

F: B.Brown, Daw, Chandler

FOLL: Braddtke, Munro, VandenBerg

I/C: Freeman, Goonan, Grey, Rosman.

Seems someone has composited that lineup from a list of players.

 

 

Bowey, Deakyn Smith and Lockhart will learn a lot from Uncle Neville.

 If we bring the same pressure as previous weeks we will win this comfortably.

I want a huge game from Sam Weideman.  Come on son, the game has turned to favoring big forwards and we need you up and running!

Carlton and Essendon getting pummelled in unison,  be still my beating heart.

This is great wet weather footy by Fitzroy.  With a chance of showers tomorrow this is how we need to play if it gets slippery.

Not impressed with either Saad or Williams as Carlton's prized recruits. 

Couldn't believe the fuss about them during trade week.  Saad was talked up as if he was a 5 time All Australian half back.  Jayden Hunt looks better than him.

The Bombers are really messing with their supporters heads this season hahaha!

Swans first loss...  only 2 unbeaten teams now.  ;)

Everyone had the Giants finished after round three, two great wins in a row and they are back  Footy is a funny game.

Petty officially back, well deserved.  Getting ahead but if he can impress the next couple of weeks it will make selection interesting upon Mays return.

This match isn't over...

Suns have kicked seven of the last eight.

What a crazy quarter... the Suns have turned it on.

Who will the sub be?   Please not Sparrow hes better off with a full game at Casey

I would've sidled up and given him a sly little "PositiveLingers" out of the corner of my mouth. You're not a real Melbourne supporter if you don't know what PositiveLingers means.

Never head that phrase before, better lift my game

Just back from the supermarket. Saw a Dees fan wearing the guernsey with pride as he’s doing the weekly shop. Great to see.

Did you give him a little "Go Dees" to show him hes not alone and you are one of his kind. I like to do that, makes me feel like i am a Freemason.

Patton didn't need to apologize on the way out.  He did that earlier when the story of his misdemeanors broke.  Let the guy get on with his life.

Lukosius is literally Jack Watts 2.0, sublimely skilled but weak as [censored]. Was recruited as a forward but very quickly moved to half back/wing.

Yes I was going to compare him to Watts, you nailed it.   Rankine is lazy but thinks hes prime Jason Akermanis.

In their defense though it would be hard being drafted to that club especially with little support for the younger players.  I guess thats why they bough in Ellis, Greenwood and the like but you have to wonder if they will ever take the next step.

Rankine, Lukosius, Noah Anderson... early days but i just dont see it in any of them. 

A shame for the Suns as they could have taken Luke Jackson instead of Anderson.  I know people will point to their stats and Andersons ball winning ability but I say see you in a few years.

Lets go Giants!

Dogs/Suns game is over already it appears

I thought players got their mates, girlfriends and family to gamble on their behalf these days.  I still reckon they will only receive token punishment. De Goey can claim amnesia due to concussion. Howe can say he was booking a taxi so he didn’t have to drive home. 

Perth to Melbourne, thats an expensive taxi ride.  They are dumb enough to use that excuse though.

I would hope not...

Rivers looked a bit tired last week and we will have more than enough drive from the backline with Salem, Hunt and Hibberd.  

Besides its not ideal for Sparrow to be sub 2 weeks in a row.  We will know in two hours.

If the AFL is serious about gambling abuse they should look at the hideous amount of gambling advertisements everywhere across all platforms they control.

Check out the Ladder on afl.com,  there is a toggle switch to show/hide betting odds which is of course set to 'On' by default lol

Petty is a definite starter and he was always going to be. I found it hard to believe that some Posters didn’t have him coming in this week. 

Despite there being a natural vacancy, he absolutely needs this game before being even more required against the Tigers next week. 

Petty has done his apprenticeship, hes impressed all preseason and in all practice games.  He even impressed at a few AFL games at the end of 2019.   What we know is he can take a grab and has great timing in his leap.

He would be bursting at the seams to get out there on the MCG after not playing all of 2020.   Excited to see him out there.

Dogs and Port are both the real deal. No way either is losing today, as much as I also want to see it happen.

Carlton always play well against Port.
