  1. No... unless Petty fails
  2. Not quite but shades of 2004 with the injuries hitting us as we reach the top. Any more news on Brown? Smith down at VFL level is not good either.
  3. Well ... Golllllllllllllllllllllllly we're there it wasn't pretty but it will feel better in the morning Go Dees
  4. mmmm is this what it is like when a win feels like a loss Strange feeling for an MFC supporter
  5. 6.3 to 1.1 rinse and repeat please
  6. well well not exactly how I thought we would go against the bottom team
  7. Why did you have to remind us of how we lost the unloseable game
  8. No crowd at the WA footy is the latest news
  9. much preferred to the 3:20 time slot which in winter means it's cold and dark by games end.
  10. Viney... having a good run of form and ... The foot Has the curse returned
  11. That was an emphatic Brisbane win. Wonder if they have found some real form
  12. spit or in the oven sounds wonderful
  13. that worked well last time we did something similar
  14. Enjoy the run... i certainly shall The challenge always was in the second half of the season. When I saw the draw I thought we could with luck go 8-3 or better for the first half Brisbane in Alice is looking tough along with the Dogs game Let's face it while we have had a few finals appearances the seasons themselves have been mainly excruciatingly close.
  15. Will definitely be a big game. Cats kicked themselves out of the game.
  16. love talkback after a Pies loss
  17. Looking ugly for the Pies
  18. Good to see the AFL continuing last night with their distancing model by leaving great swathes of the upper deck empty. Expect the same with Pies v Suns today.
  19. Simple tactics... both teams denied the other the corridor and played the boundary. Thought Dogs would be smarter but the boundary/handballing won them the Cup in 2016
  20. mmmm looking like a possibility yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !
  21. Given what I have invested so far that sounds like a bargain. I will contact them immediately PS am now ticketed up for $229 Couldn't help but notice the GF packages but that may be getting ahead of myself
  22. Here's a good article on why the Saints aren't firing Jack Steele, Brad Crouch, Bradley Hill and Seb Ross are all winners of AFL club best-and-fairest awards. Along with Zak Jones and Jack Billings they are all between 25 and 27. This is a group that should be close to the peak of its powers. And yet it is misfiring. The Age approached coaching staff from rival clubs - speaking this week on the condition of anonymity - in a bid to better understand where St Kilda are being let down.... A theme from the rival views espoused was that the Saints had been drawn towards the ball too much and not paying enough respect defensively to their opponents. While a lack of cohesion - Crouch is only four games into his St Kilda career - was identified as part of the explanation, there was also a suggestion that the Saints’ midfielders looked overly focused on themselves and not in playing their part in a system. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/what-is-going-wrong-with-st-kilda-s-misfiring-midfield-20210429-p57nnt.html
  23. no one is sugeesting he's surplus but you simply can't have the number of highly paid forwards that we have. Tom Mac will either go at seasons end or his contract will be renegotiated. If Tmac has a stellar season we are in a perfect trade position. Something MFC has rarely experienced
  24. just booked the hire car. Certainly not a cheap weekend... better get a ticket !! Might have to climb a tree and watch from outside like one did fifty years ago. If anyone hears anything about ticket and meal deals or the like that can be booked earlier would love to hear thanks
