I hope the Bulldogs aren’t wearing theirs today as it will be a huge clash with ours.

NON MFC: Round 13
Gold Coast playing the last game of last round and the first game of this round is peculiar.

Tom Lynch Incident (incl. Dimma vs The Ox)
I’ve said it for years but the action and intent should be punished, not the outcome. Players can control their actions but not the outcome.

NON MFC: Round 12
West Coast with their home ground and crowd advantage are the team to beat.

Give us some credit Garry
Garry is all of us, he’s been burnt too many times before so he’s being rightfully cautious. Collingwood have a lot of injuries, were coming off a short break and lost two players during the game.

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
Good summary. We also got some favourable umpiring which made a nice change after recent weeks. Lever, Tomlinson and Harmes (the defender experiment needs to end) were clearly our worst based in their skills, effort and decision making. The forward line looks much better, I still want to see Smith there as another marking target. My whipping boys Langdon and Spargo were excellent and I thought Preuss more than held his own against Grundy. As good as Petracca was he wasn’t as sharp as he has been but still playing like a star. Brayshaw kicking goals is the best kind of Brayshaw, looks more like the 2018 version. Hibberd’s resurrection has been Jesus-like and Melksham didn’t make me want to throw my TV out the window for the first time in two years.

I like the part where we look like the team of 2018 again.

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Brisbane
He could have gone back behind the mark and waited for players to run forward and at the very least look to lock it in there by kicking to the top of the square.

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Brisbane
Lots of mistakes, but Hannan's decision to kick to the pocket in that last play was beyond stupid.

TEAMS: Rd 08 vs Brisbane
Either Jones or Tomlinson for vandenBerg was the right change to make. We should win.

When we beat Brisbane, I will....
I think we will win. The team balance is far better than the early games and players are finally playing in the right positions.

Players We Haven't Seen in 2020
I feel like if you lined up all the players we drafted in 2018 I wouldn't be able to name any of them.

Aaron vandenBerg to miss 2 weeks [CONFIRMED]
Big loss but at least not foot and likely he would have been managed anyway. Jones in for him?

Current Team Potentially Best in 50 Years
Don’t get me wrong, I’m far more bullish about our chances after the last couple of weeks (team selections have played a big role) but let’s just cool our jets for the moment.
