monoccular

Forget all that. We, MFC, just need to be concerned about OUR games. Keep winning and the rest doesn’t matter.

What an appalling deliberate OOB ruling. Then immediately after no 50 against Cotchin who biffed a saint in the neck face. Petulant [censored].

Well, live ladder has Tigers down to 8th, so I guess AFL HQ won’t want them to miss out. Saints going well but being run down in the second half will be a bit heartwarming but they need the Tigers to win.

Did you watch the second quarter?

Joe Daniher doesn’t give the impression of being very bright at all.

Maggots obviously instructed to even up the game …. giving Geelong an armchair ride.

Hawkins throw … pay on. Brisbane throw …. free … goal.

Am I missing something? Isn't Sam out of contract at the end of the year and if so can't he just walk as an uncontracted player, should he choose to do so? I remember in years gone by discussing the need for a sports psychologist. Do we have one at the club, or access to an independent one? Anyone with any experience of sports psychologists - do you believe that a good one could turn Sam around? Thanks.

Meanwhile, Casey who have played (and won) 5 games, together with Collingwood (3/5), Sandringham (2/5), sydney (2/7) sat out byes, and Southport (⅞) sit atop the VFL ?. Why in any reasonable competition should 3 clubs who have played only 5 out of a possible 8 games all have byes? Ridiculous “support” league.

Maybe some high profile Sydney player could advise them on having a line?

Apparently eye gouging and opponent under a pack and shin stomping isn’t against the spirit of the game, (or maybe only a little bit against it.). Apparently wouldn’t put mum off letting her kids play footy anyway.

What an absolute joke is theMRO. Selwood, a known sniper, gets two fines for cheap shots including an attack to the face, with potentially very serious consequences. Do we need a player to actually be blinded before this will be taken seriously? Absolutely disgusting.

Didn't Ross Lyon try that with Free a few years ago (and also at Geelong) - and it didn't work out at all well for them. As I recall it was the stimulus / knee jerk reaction to introduce the prefinals bye. Which in turn has slightly reduced the advantage of finishing top 4 vs 5-8.

If we beat everyone below us for the rest of the year the premiership will be a cakewalk. The other games won’t matter one iota.

OMG Rowan the Unlikable - after siren kick .......... friggin' goal. FMD

Better to open up more space between top 2 and 3rd.

Selwood is such a prjck .... poked a guy in the eye after a mark, then stomps his shin, then smirks. 2 missed set shots will prove very costly to the Dogs

SEN calling for a 50 meter - the "offender" was running full pelt when the mark was taken. What is he supposed to do??? (Not sure what the idiots on 7 said).

Selwood just couldn't believe he was eventually penalised for throwing.

Like everything we hear “based on best medical science” - please explain. Could easily have twice (or 3x) the number with distancing. But that would be far too logical and liberating.

All this talk of protecting the head - the commentators seem to praise Selwood for “an ear massage”.

Of course is he hadn't turned up for work that day it wouldn't have happened. Exactly. I rarely listen to any of the TV commentary these days .. so boring and frankly idiotic. And yes I remember I think in the Norf game one of our guys got belted on the head after a mark and they loved it. Not sure if they have enough brain power to be able to be hypocrites - probably just brain dead themselves.

Agree 100%, yet, like the last two non decisions in the Adelaide game, correct decisions at pivotal moments could well have changed the result. If that were to happen in a GF would there be more scrutiny?

That is where we differ - your opinion is that he elected to bump; mine is that he turned to go for the ball. Of course if he elected to bump he deserved 4-6. If the AFL want to put an end to head knocks, then have a look at how many deliberate head high hits Max gets every week, and Clarrie did especially last week. And don’t start me on that protected thug Mummy, and Nankervis. They get away with sniping week after week, including elbows to the head in ruck contests. Utter hypocrisy.

Rod Owen?
