Seasons in the abyss? Might end up being pretty accurate.

Underrated but something off Invaders Must Die like World's on Fire would be cool.

Was thinking the same thing. When the report raves about kicking I tend to study the action, especially the set shot action. It's pretty good but there is something happening in that ball drop that I wouldn't call perfect. I hear you on the jarring to the eye thing. The fact is though it seems to be very darn effective and you just have to go with it till it stops working.

Seriously when was the last time we doubled up with Essendon? Probably going back to Bailey years.

They also seem to have a lost a lot of rhythm in the passing game since some of their receivers went down. I guess it's better to have these problems in November but you'd want to see improvement quite sharpish.

It's such a fall, he really is a joke now. For 5'11 he had one of the best deep balls around. Now he's the punch drunk boxer who thinks he's still got it. Yes he shredded the 'boys but their D is garbage. His one day contract in Seattle is coming sooner rather than later I think.

I had the Bills as my SB favourites this year. I felt it was finally lining up. That was a horrible performance, you're allowed one of those in a season but all eyes will be on their response now, especially in an even competition like this one. He's got runs on the board but if younger guys ie. Daniels, Purdy, Stroud, Young put up a performance like that? Well, coaches don't forget those.

I wholeheartedly agree, in a developing team it counts for a lot more than getting trounced each week. The offense was doing enough I reckon. I would like to see them manage Dart a bit better going forward. The guy is aggressive by nature but they don't want to RG3 the kid. Russell just can't get a gig anymore..

Not to mention they put themselves in winning positions often. Sometimes again decent teams.

That would be good. Our marketing and comms in general have stunk for some time now.

Honestly LITD I haven't liked the idea and you're probably right about it being something badged with a fancy name. I'm personally choosing to be open about it because I'm so tired of being annoyed at the league for making changes we hate, it's not easy but I'm looking for the good in it. The question I was asking is that if we were to lose to a 10th placed team (which is very much something this club would do) yes it would be meltdown world but also if you were to do the job properly and win that game then wouldn't you have well and truly proven your credentials as a finals team? There are flaws to it for sure. I guess the incentive to finishing 7th or 8th will be a home wildcard game so that's something. It is probably the only sport in the world where over half the teams make finals but I'm willing to see the effect in can have.

Max to play another 5 years then Langford. No but really I think Disco will eventually be the guy. Personally don't see it with Rivers, maybe as a co-captain.

A forward that moves and leads in the 50? Are you sure that fits the MFC style? 😜 Honestly there's a lot to like about him. Looks like he has a great pair of hands. Are we seeing a Gunston type?

But LITD wouldn't it just be better to win that game and prove our worth?

I'm aware I'm in the minority with this but I'm happy to see it back. Is it perfect? No. However representative football is something that has been lost to the game and in my opinion the effect has been detrimental. Much like the under 18s carnival, the chance for the best players to play and train with each other inevitably makes them better players. For the fans who care, it's a chance to change it up and support some players you would usually hate and see how it feels. It's just another angle of viewing the game which has sadly not been there for a long time. Players could get injured sure, players can get injured in any game especially when they keep adding them to the fixture. I've said it before but I would prefer this to a round zero, gather round and wildcard round. Again, I'm aware at how much people are against it and I understand a lot of their reasons, I just happen to like it.

Been sleeping on Houston a lot lately but not this time. Texans Packers Ravens

Cheers Radar! My dad is a massive spitfire enthusiast so I'll let him know. Also had family in both the RAAF and RAF.

Dyson Sharp enough?

I don't disagree but I feel like we seen this with people telling us not to worry a number of times before. I really hope it's different this time.

A much, much better way of saying what I was trying to say. You're right, and Bailey should consider himself fortunate that he has this chance. Let's see what he's got

Maybe we can get a preseason wildcard round cup? 😜

Well these TEs did a great job in this one. I think the Rams are the best bet to make a run from the West, D-line is very good and gets to the QB. Not sold on Seattle yet. Yep, get the popcorn ready.

I really wanted to see them together just once more in a good setup. And that's exactly right. It sounds like Aaron overthrew quite a few balls in this game.

That is true, there aren't many good matchups for Adams and very few in our secondary right now. Puka is so effective and this probably wasn't even one of his good games. Did you see the photo of him mocking our 'boombox' entrance? I didn't know we were still doing that since Deebo left haha. I think we have a full on QB controversy even though the money will say to play Brock and probably rightfully so. Mac looks so sure of himself in the pocket and I love how he gets it out quickly. There's few things better than a QB who can stand in the pocket and throw darts. Maybe a dual threat QB who can..
