NON-MFC: Round 5, 2022
I reckon no matter how far the dogs get in front, no team will think they're out of it as long as they can arrest momentum and make the dogs run the other way.

Bulldogs have no ticker, so if the Roos can keep the heat on and prevent the Dogs from having it all on their terms, they could well have a shot - probably too far back though after that joke of a 1st quarter.

It's a strange recipe of pity mixed with ambivalence, with a sprinkle of "why don't they just give up and fold"?

lol imagine being torn apart by Cody Weightman. Sucks to be Essendon or North.

Cody Weightman has such sublime skill. His ability to draw the free kick is elite….

Everything I'm hearing re the Dees in my part of town is "how can your boys be stopped?" They're already basically giving us this flag and conceding a Prelim/GF in 2023 as the best case scenario.

I just assumed they had crossed to him in his old folks home in Del Boca Brisvegas for a first hand account of the invention of the goals/minutes theorem…?

Kruger looks like a good, albeit raw, young player for the Magpies.

I'll never begrudge Jeremy Howe from leaving to play for his childhood club. Plus he was just a speccie machine for us anyway.

Cripps has done his hammy. Sad for him, but very not sad for the Blues.

HUDDO (referring to a last-second goal by the bombers): "That was just what the Essendon doctor ordered." That phrase means something different to most of us than it seems to mean to Huddo.

POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide
Not a Petty fan I take it? He's a walkup start once matchfit.

I wondered if he was our there, but then I do that most weeks.

NON-MFC: Round 4, 2022
Has anyone seen/heard the stats (if any) around the effectiveness of staying outside 5 (dogs do this) vs standing the mark (Melbourne and most others do this? e.g., metres gained/scores in the passage of play, etc...?

Want to unmute the telly so I can listen to Nath Jones, but that means I'll have to listen to Luke Darcy too…shudder.

My mate from the elevator would be going bananas right now!!!

Jeezus Naitanui is unfit. Not to make everything about the Dees, but I hope Jackson doesn't get on the same paddock, because NicNat was a lithe athletic freak at Jackson's age too.

Met a West Coast supporter (dressed in the polo) in my building today who held the elevator to my great surprise: first nice West Coast supporter I've ever met, so I'm going for them…tonight. Will never forget 2018 though, and told him as much.

Jokes aside though, I really hope for Noble's sake they crack in today and get close to an upset.
