Really good teams win games irrespective of umpiring

Oliver gets the ball a lot but OMG can he please think about what he does when he kicks it - blind bombing into the F 50 is just really dumb football

I’m disappointed but pleased Sportsbet paid out my line bet on Hawthorn +42.5 points The MFC are the best bet going when they go into a game as hot favourites I still struggle to see how we are top of ladder - this team just takes a holiday when they really should bury teams Hard to feel confident they can perform when it really matters - finals

BT is an absolute peanut ?

Tom Lynch bloody hopeless

Nutter yes love no

So these flogs have apparently requested a change of venue for their next round clash against Richmond moving it from MCG as scheduled to Geelong what a complete joke I really hope the AFL put them back in their tiny filthy box

I wouldn’t call either slow - maybe not express but hardly slow

Final of the world championship for end of beard to tip of nose competition

If ever there was a reason to want to finish top of the table it is to deny this bunch of flogs

Wow I hope that Fraser's Mum is 100% clear and can enjoy watching her son develop a very successful and long career with the MFC Fraser obviously has a great deal of character - fingers crossed for a bright future for both he and his Mum

Neanderthals don't wear shoes

Well now - if there was ever a compelling argument to sanity screen patrons entering a football match and turn those away that have nothing to contribute you have the reason right there

Do we really need to be reminded how the MFC can perform in games like this ? I really hope we see 100% commitment and real intent from the first bounce to final siren Not only is it critical to win the game but % may be vital come finals

I rate Bolton as one of the most gifted footballers would absolutely love him in red & blue - Bedford obviously light years away from that atm Can't say I've seen all of Bedford's games but tend to agree his disposal can be hit and miss Certainly something there to work on but needs to start showing consistency within games and from week to week

weather and seating aside I encourage all Melb based supporters to get to the game a and make as much noise as you can its the home stretch - critical we maximise our support at each game

I may be wrong on this but thought in the old VFA comp it was 16 per side with no wings ?

looks like one of those clowns at Luna Park you shove table tennis balls into

Declase played quite well - he looked good with ball in hand my query on him would be how hard he works when he hasn't got it. Physically could play AFL and has the skills Rosman was disappointing but I think he copped a heavy knock early and didn't really recover. Having said that no way he is ready for senior games - he needs another pre-season at least and to build his strength - has potential no doubt. He needs to model his game on Isaac Smith if you ask me

In short spurts Bedford really looked great the problem with Toby is that the % of the game that he seems to be involved is quite limited. If he could somehow manage to be a consistent contributor across 4 quarters then we have something to work with. He is not in the same mold of most of our current mids IMO - he is very much an outside player and cannot be compared to Viney, Oliver, Trac, Harmes, AVB etc who are the contested ball specialists. My guess is that Toby has been told he needs to work on certain areas of his game and tick some boxes before he is invited back into the senior team Of the others mentioned Chandler - A fair way down the pecking order in that small / speed forward category Bowey - Great skills , football brain, very good at picking the best option and delivering with precision. Has a future but no idea what his final position will be. He sort of reminds me of a faster version of Spargo as both rarely waste possessions Lockhart - Solid and is very brave, injury interrupted season probably hasn't helped his case - worth persisting with IMO as a replacement small defender

Not a player but Swooper Northey used to live a few doors down the road when he was coaching the Dees and I'd occasionally chat to him - used to walk my dog with his wife and daughter at the local park as we had the same dog breed (Dobermans) Swoop wasn't much of a dog walker !

The number of blatant throws that were not paid yesterday was amazing - so much so I started to focus on where the umpires were relative to contested ball

Feeling good about a pie win - just doesn’t seem right ?

5 min to go

Pies out to 15 pt lead - Dumbwick want be happy - I like it ?
