Agreed. Maybe if we are 80 points up, but not before. The Melbourne team of last week would be running rings around Melbourne of this week. Once again it’s all mental application.

Any chance we could get out of 3rd gear for 10-15? Sure umps are gonna try and keep them in it, but if we really wanted to work for it and each other, that’d sort it all out.

Has he really been with us for 10+ years?

I thought JJ was more than decent in our win against Sydney last week. He did very well in the middle imo, I would’ve kept him in.

A big kudos to you all for the support you give our boys and girls

Time for the AFL to introduce the brother/brother rule.

@WalkingCivilWar how often do you and other members of the cheer squad get to interstate games? Do you take it in turns so there is always some level of representation, or are there fellow MFC supporters interstate that take up cheer squad duties when it’s in their neck of the woods?

Ahh too true, I’m still living in 2022

Don’t we already have that?

Nope. McCrae can suffer for his short-sightedness

The only thing that’s guaranteed about a game day thread is @Jaded No More either being ecstatic or inconsolable. Either way, it makes for entertaining reading 😁

@WalkingCivilWar Are the players' told where to run through the banner for the purposes of avoiding decapitation?

i'm on 14 after 3 rounds 🤦‍♂️

And they'll probably get it too.

elected to run past the ball, bump his opponent then collected him in the head. Wouldn't have been an issue if he bodylined the ball and collected him whilst contesting the ball.

What other way is there to watch the footy?

And they played within their limits mostly that year. With the likes of Rivers, May and Pig in the backline, I’d much prefer them to do the pinpoint kicking. Jake and Harry should kick long down the line 90% of the time.

Whilst I don’t doubt their bravery, a backline with Lever and Petty’s decision making frightens the heck out of me.

To be fair, he had a good 15cm on his defender. We all know he can take an overhead grab. What caught my attention was that leap at the centre bounce in the last.

Yep, I thought it was poorly umpired for both teams. Bringing in a fourth umpire has only increased the inconsistencies and paying of free kicks that simply should not be paid.

All his touches today had a positive influence on the game.

Am hoping it’s nothing sinister. He’s one of the few I have zero worries with when the ball is in his hands in the back line.

Brother/brother rule perhaps?

Clarry lost votes for refusing to get chaired off the ground 😉

He has really stepped up in both our wins. JJ also does so much better playing in the guts. I’d have him in there before Viney (whose form is a worry). Sparrow came into it more as the game got older. Spargo gets a very bad wrap on here. The numbers crucifying him for his attempt near half time, he was at least 5 meters away from it. He had a good game (and I’m not his biggest supporter). Need to keep up this momentum. Go Dees
