  1. Rapidly losing interest in any sport that is played in Saudi Arabia, talking two F1 races now. Hamdillah the Saudis can't get their hands (or have interest to tbf) on the AFL.
  2. On the commentary, for me was a breath of fresh air compared to a Brayshaw or BT etc, Matt Hill calling the game (race caller as someone said) wasn't perfect, and confused a couple of players, Chandler and Ed etc, but didn't have the grating effect the other Fox callers have. Also huge kudos to Brad Johnson who is extremely fair to MFC in play when obviously a WB fan, praises all appropriately.
  3. From Hawks big footy site… plenty of comedy gold left there, they went from very cocky to bronzing themselves after the doggies match, tbf, plenty of respect for Gawn though. The fact they argue about Frost the way we used to had me in stitches. ‘Frost was probably on our top 3-4 players today, absolutely no way he gets dropped. Even suggesting it is laughable and shows you are letting your pre conceived notions about Frost take over.’ and I'd argue that Frost has the best weapon out of any dour stoppers in the league. He's lightning quick and can kick the leather off the ball. The only problem is he's a weapon that often cuts both ways! and The Dees demise appears overstated and Max was bloody awesome today. An extra mid. Ominous signs. My personal favourite Gawn just demolished English. Get the vas. … you think Sicily just misunderstood Mitchells instructions on how to cork an oppositions players leg?
  4. Yeah, just so many free swings left on the shelf, FfD etc, I feel he struggles for material when we are good. Classic MFCSS syndrome. But probably wise not to go the early crow.
  5. Rent Free I have a different take on Naughton's poor game, we have traumatised the frogs to the point that they don't want to go near May. And does the Harmes headbutt really go into the team-mates that have whacked May file? I really liked the way they had a laugh at the end of the game. To my mind it was insufficient force and May should say as much. It was more of a push with the head as Harmes' arms were restrained by May.
  6. I have to say this was a lame piece from TO'R, I'm a fan but it felt flat.
  7. Ripper game on so many levels, every week I say a little prayer that we kick more goals than points 🙏 done. I said I'd give us a mulligan last week and was glad to be right. Salem's pick-up on the wing was elite Judd like level of control, and demonstration of our dry ball mastery. Lots of really good commentary so will try not to rehash other than acknowledge. I felt sorry for the Bullfrogs today, (not really was humming a tune we all are familiar with, chorus is similar to a Special AKA song), we were brutal was like watching the Hawks or Bombers in their pomp but without thuggery. May played an AA game. Viney is a pocket Zeus. Pickett has stopped giving extras, on a couple of occasions I expected a cheapie and was really please that is out of his game without diluting his lethalness. Tmac back surprised me, was nervous as hell when he was kicking it. But as much Tominson was stiff he had an ok game. Would still drop him for Petty though. Petty is Neitz like at going forward and back. BBB demonstrated exceptional positioning today, that just meant the dogs couldn't play off or through him. It might be twighlight for BBB but his presence brought Chandler into the game (who also worked bloody hard) Gawn along with May are BOG for me, in the 1st he was key to wrestling advantage in the game. After the 1st qtr I felt good about the game, while we didn't shake the dogs properly, the leaders of the club created the confidence in everyone else to go on and win the game, that started with Gawn May and Viney. BTW It's not just the similarity of the names or being indigenous, JUH uses his arms to mark like Jurrah used too, inspector gadget style, made me realise for the XXth time what a tragedy that story was. My opinion of JUH went up today, will be a phenom. We had the 4th highest crowd, and dogs supporters were not there. Lastly Goodwin has adapted our game, brilliant coaching, again.
  8. Early contender for post of the year. I like my droll tres sec.
  9. And I thought the club left things respectfully with him, no bad blood etc. We were more cut up.
  10. Not wrong and I wish him well, but between Brown, Tmac and Brayshaw salary we have a lot of change to throw around. Timing is good. GWS has alot of players to sign and a key defender that will command the mint in the near future.
  11. Enough water under the bridge, time heals all wounds etc, He's out of contract this year, and the most realistically gettable of the power forwards out there. Personally think he'd be great for us.
  12. So Pies go 0-2 after a flag, we went 10-0, and they say we have a culture problem.
  13. You're probably right, would have been mean to send him to WCE though...
  14. Frustrated as hell and took the gloss off a day at the beach. Anyway I looked up the BoM for Thursdya evening, humidity was running at 90%, absolute kryptonite to even the fittest athletes if if not conditioned for it. Am prepared to give a reluctant mulligan, I really don't think we are that woeful, and nothing like the run we had against Carlton.
  15. I said at the time, why let him go to Sydney, only made a real rival stronger, Adelaide or Tigers would have been better.
  16. Like it and close to same, but for me Fritsch for Bowey. 6 Viney 5 May 4 Howes 3 McVee 2 Tomlinson 1 Fritsch
  17. Home ground is the only significant factor they have to model. Unless they are mathing media BS, no exposed form orherwise.
  18. Cote de Ivorie - West Coast Africa, post unfun surgery, cannnnnoooootttt wait, 8.30am here which is reasonable all things considering. Daughters surfing lessons will have to wait.
  19. I might have missed it posted elsewhere, but the 7 weeks Webster got would have been just par for the Dog.
  20. Clarrie plays, pretty sure he's used to people tuning him by now.
  21. Exactly - Played 100% game time too, coaches have faith in him, yes he lost a couple of battles, but we are not on PlayStations. Love his dedication.
  22. With great respect, Max and Jack, or Jack and Max, but totally agree with what you’re getting at. BTW anyone notice the way Pickett lifted (tackled) Cripps, almost went to far, but loved the intent, we have two predators in the midfield, oppositions will be looking over their shoulders.
  23. Sincere thanks to many many posters, who have expressed sentiments I strongly agree with. I couldn't post sooner, this news really hurt. There is no way around it, by fair means or foul, I want that dog hounded out of the game. To me there is an unspoken contract, between the improvement in fitness and skill of players and the level of protection they should receive. I honestly believe i would be outraged at any player getting lined up the way Angus was. I acknowledge that Gus might have been more susceptible to the impact than others, but that was fair dinkum, a sniper shot from the 70's. I think Gus is doing the right thing fwiw.
  24. Hope it ended better than the lunch at Entrecote. But seriously love all these blokes, looks like lunch is a regular event for most (-; Rigoni, Leoncelli and McDonald still looking trim. Can't imagine there is much knee cartilage between all of them though. And thank you Mr. Grinter for keeping the brotherhood going.
