That day was as bad as it gets. I want a flag for Fitzroy 79. Hawthorn 87. Hawthorn 88. Geelong 186 3 to go!

I am interested if the collective psychology of MFCSS towards this type of game has now changed. I think it has. The real in game situation will be more of a guide.

You are being too kind to English.

The worst umpiring was the R23 Geelong game. The "no effort to keep in play rule" was diabolical. Not paid against Selwood in last minute and then paid against Brayshaw just 20 seconds later. Which in some weird "Universe actually likes us" way worked for us because numbnuts from Geelong belted the ball over boundary line and we know the rest. We have never ever had luck like that. We have experienced Umpiring like that (Adelaide 21) but never good luck. Still horrific umpiring that went widely unnoticed. Happy to be corrected if I am wrong.

If anyone living abroad is keen on a bit of a discount PM me.

Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Barassi. Ideal for the 6 6 6 setup 666 devils number and demons number

SEN Commentary (on you tube) Anthony Hudsons call of Blitzkrieg #2 is epic. Ending with a catchy "Oliveeeeeeerrrrr.... It's a procession of possession and goals"

agreed on libba

Rubbish. One was a result of the Petty tackle and he fumbled it. Right place right time and the other was nothing clever. Soft front runner at best. Looks like he is giving it all but scratch below the brian taylor hysteria and you will see him, for what he is. Treloar, Bailey Smith, Dunkley. They all gave up. And wasnt it fantastic.

Treloar got 2 lucky goals, soft as butter in the middle during our goal rushes and gave up the chase on Sparrow when he dropped the big one. A severely overrated front runner. Very similar to his boyfriend Dunkley

Petracca, Clayton and Max are all better now than what Lyon was at his peak. lyon prob goes 5. These boys are genuine legends already. Gary was fantastic but injured alot. The here and now needs to be respected and appreciated for what it is. 3 of the 4 best players of the last 50 years all in form right now. 1. Clayton (consistency, skills, strength, engine and smart) To good for most to appreciate. 2. Robbie 3. Max 4. Petracca 5. Lyon

Pre 2021 i would have thought, well at least that helps us to claim a spot in the 8. Post 2021, that sucks seeing a young champ get seriously injured. The premiership has made me into a much nicer person

Are you sure?

I cant believe he is already 27. We are much much better off without him for all reasons already stated. Add on the constant foot, soft tissue injuries and the "mental health breaks". Having one of your highest paid players doing all that is constantly draining. And at the end of the day he chose to leave and was talking to Lyon and Fyfe a long long way out. The clubs much better without him really. Yeah sure he seems like an ok guy. They almost always do when they where our jumper. I say bad luck Jesse and thanks for the subtle warning for LJ.

A touch sensitive little Lord Nev. And banal.

Yes, very true. His head is in the 4th percentile though

Good riddance and dont forget to shut the door on your way out you red little headed legend

Bowey will get to 430 games, 5 flags, 1 Norm Smith, 0 B and F's, and then retire quietly into the sunset. (I think)

Yep he was great. Reality is he probably would have been worked out by oppo coaches with flooding etc. And his fitness must be part of the whole player package, similar to skills, decision making, courage, selfishness etc etc. Glenn Lovett, Stinga, Schwarz , they were all fantastic and could have been anything. But injuries. Mid 90s had more than most though. Add Prymke, Sean Charles, Lyon often, to the 3 above and its pretty sad. But now that is history and Hawthorn can have years like that rammed down their throat for the next 50. The baton has been changed hands.

I agree with all. Stats lie and clangers is far too general. I have been watching since the mid 70's and its a touch sacrilege to Robbie but those 2 are the best we have had. No doubt. 1, Oliver / Petracca 2, Petracca / Oliver 3. Flower 4.Max 5. Lyon

The 2 top placings for Most Clangers ever in a Season. 1. Most ever Clayton Oliver 129 clangers , 2021 2. Christian Petracca 125 clangers, 2021 Make of that what you will. Stats lie I suppose. Even the kick in from a point is a registered kick. I hope they win the clanger count again this year. Two. of the best 5 players in last 57 years. Legends both of them.

I will take 2021 Bailey Fritsch over both.

Rubbish. If Russell Robertson was better at any stage of his career than Salem is as he is today I will run through Wuhan licking every pole in every wet market I can see. Robbo 22, Salem 35. Football is more than 2 minute youtube clips folks.

Just checked. What are you talking about man? You can only see 20% of her face and certainly not hot. You need to get on red tube

Still pinching myself. Life has brought no other pride and joy than what it did following Bailey Smiths fumble on Sept. 25th, 2021
