After that hissy rant, I reckon most of us here are done with you.

At the game, and the Hawks are hitting every contest and stoppage with enormous belief. We’re ahead only because we’re taking better advantage of their inevitable mistakes, given their run, gun, switch and spread. Waaay too little pressure from us on their uncontested possessions, like we’re assuming it’ll be fixed inside defensive 50. Hope the Hawks run out of puff like last week, cos they’re in it up to their necks, and we’re just coasting.

Got some good ‘watering in’ last night!

And yet we all sooooo want to see a pic of your lawn.

Given the health of our list and winning form he’ll be the proverbial cherry ripe come game time. Whatever is needed, he’ll get. Loading on damaged/filled joint surfaces has to be done with progressive care, otherwise the surface starts to degrade irreparably…..Clint Bartram’s early career end being an example.

Great stuff again boys, and happy 150th!!! 🎉🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Brownlow isn’t and never has been the measure of best player. Clarrie is IMO unlikely to win one. We do have the best measure of value however - the coaches votes award. He won it last year by a street. Stays fit and he wins it this year too. Was thinking also last night about players like Cotchin, Selwood, Judd, Greg Williams. All of them have/had a snipey, eye-gougey, boot-studdy, wild elbowy side to them. Makes players like Clarrie even better. (think also Nathan Jones, Scott Pendlebury, Marcus Bontempelli). If pushed, I reckon his closest recent comparison was Dane Swan at his best - superficially unremarkable, but utterly exceptional.

Sure sure WCW, but tell us what you REALLY think. 😃 p.s. only MFC games I won’t go to are ‘versus Essendon’. Too feral for me.

Both Tom Sparrow and Kozzi missed easy shots because of unnecessary urgency…..like they needed to get off for a dunny visit or something. Could it be the downside of momentum, a sense that everything needs to happen quickly to maintain the energy? The older heads would settle first….think BBB.

He’s a classic front-runner. One of the least impressive players to get to 400 goals I reckon. Steven May would have been relishing the match-up.

I’m 56. He’s better than Chris Judd.

I swear when Jake Bowey has the footy, my heart rate drops 12 BPM. Extraordinary user of the ball, and showed ample guts tonight. Might even be Christian Salem’s equal by the time he’s back. One on each flank. As Bruce would say…. delicious!

Too right. Bolton is their match-winner. Hunt was great.

Get to the back of the line….

Never in doubt. Not only is he the best on-baller in MFC history, he’s the best I’ve ever seen in the AFL/VFL. Phenomenal.

Richmond are nowhere near us in quality. Miles away. Yet they’re actually still in the game. If it weren’t so disturbing, it’d be funny.

Nathan Buckley’s trying to argue that Richmond have forced this scenario. He’s completely ignoring our inaccuracy. That’s the game right there. Appalling commentary from someone who should know better.

Rubbish. Get over yourself.

15 scoring shots to 8. Losing. AGONY!!!!

Baker BOG for mine. Lots of contributors tho.

That wasn’t a genuine marking attempt by Lofau. Dangerous, stupid, reportable and should be suspended.

Is Rosman the longest kick at the club? If not, who’s longer?

Clearly showing this year that he’s a cut above. Just needs to back his size….more physicality at/in the contest. Otherwise got it all. Exciting. Taj and the Dutch also showing everything they should.

Yep. Not happening.

24 free kicks to 10. Not surprising of course. That’s standard for the Dogs. Being logical and impartial, given that this is a repeating phenomenon, there can be only two explanations for it. 1. That the umpires are heavily predisposed to pay more frees to the Dogs than their opposition for reasons other than being deserved, or at least ‘equally deserved’ , or 2. that the Dogs are just spectacularly good at drawing fairly adjudicated frees, the obvious implication being that they train to create this. Can there be any other explanations, because it’s gone way beyond random? Way, waaaaay beyond.
