5 minutes into half-time and the Auskickers have already outscored both teams. It felt like we went back to 16 minute quarters.

School recess.

The O Mac mini pre-season of 2019. Makes a lot of sense, it’s not as though we are struggling to score or desperate to fill spots at the moment.

Bang bang bang. What a game

Are we naming an extended squad tonight ?

Sorry, forgot to mention the info is from an MFC site article on QB ticketing.

Ticketek today - Member pre-sale at 2pm, General public at 4pm. Cheer loud Robbie.

I think the endurance base is probably the most on show about our runners. The ability to run at high speed more than the oppo. I was amazed at this stat against the Lions. We covered almost 6km more than them at high speed.

After the Carlton game someone posted the number of times our forwards were used as inside 50 targets, from memory we went to Brown 17 times against Carlton. Was wondering since then how many times we’ve gone to Weid as an inside 50 target and came across this. I’m nowhere near tactically advanced as some on here but is it a case of sharing the load inside 50 and specific roles. These numbers especially the last 3 weeks indicate Weid isn’t being used as our number one key forward.

Firming as the red hot favourite. Is it 11 new cases today?

Absolutely. What 11-1 has shown me is our team makes it extremely difficult for the opposition to sustain a four quarter effort. We’ve seen teams go hard early against us for the killer punch, Richmond lasted 15 minutes before we shut them down. Lions simply couldn’t keep up in the second half. Teams have had little patches here and there but our ability to restructure quickly is impressive, opponents seem to run out of ideas and eventually we overwhelm them. The Sydney win was outstanding as that was the most brutal and physical game I’ve seen this year IMO. Kudos to the Crows for finding a way to stick with us, although we contributed in the last 7 minutes by a couple of structural breakdowns that aided them and everything went right for them. Even with 40 seconds to go against them we still managed a couple of chances to win the game. Enjoying seeing them play for each other.

Clubhouse leader on the Carlton boards. ” We look faTeagued”

Liam Ryan has made this match watchable.

Days like today is when you miss the early Sunday game. The price on West Coast today is tempting even with half a side.

Let’s hope so. It’s incredibly hard to win a GF, all those teams listed gave themselves a massive chance for a preliminary final with the exception of the Cats in 2018 you could argue. Still a lot to play out, was more highlighting how hard we’ve worked as a group to give ourselves every possible chance.

From so easy to score against to one of the best records since 2000.

That was utterly embarrassing by Derm. You could sense Huddo and King wanted to crawl under the table.

I noticed on the replay Trac pointing Spargo out and acknowledging he was responsible for two goals in the 3rd. The one Trac kicked himself and the T Mac roving and running one from about 40 out. Both times Spargo competed in the air and brought it to ground. Charles is having a ripper season.

How good is this?? 11-1 with a 1 point average losing margin and we can now drive up to 10kms away from home with a scarf out of every window.

On Hunt Dee f, it’s hard to see certain players roles on the TV, possessions wise he didn’t light up the stat sheet against the Dogs but every time he was visible on screen especially when the Dogs went forward he busted his chops running back to man up their wingers dropping into our attacking 50. At different times he was taking Lipinski, B Smith, Hunter and even took Weightman and fair to say all 4 hardly impacted the game that night. Would love to hear from the supporters that attended the game last night on how they saw Hunt. We all like seeing him run and attack but that won’t always happen due to the game being played a certain way, his main objective is to defend and from the games I’ve seen live this year I think he’s been very good at that aspect.

Teams try to get the KO in the first few rounds against us, but we are willing to go 15 rounds and win on points. I’d love to give a team 6 quarters to try and knock us off. The air just smells different.

What a statement! What a team! Next challenger please . Bloody brilliant.

I’d take Viney with one foot right now to put some Lions on their backside.

Decent morning read with your tea or coffee. Haven’t watched Brisbane a lot this season, interesting to read how high Rich actually wins the ball. https://www.theroar.com.au/2021/06/04/analysing-friday-night-footy-melbourne-vs-brisbane/
