MFC Fans Only Non-Dees AFL thread: 2018 Edition: Weighed in the balance, who will be found wanting?

[stretcharmstrong]

Also all the dick nuts who were sooking about 6 day breaks, eagles flew from Perth on a 6 day break and still came from 5 goals down.

So ironic the way it worked out, given Eddies little massive tantrum!

 

[Crimson Azure]

Well, we can now say we only lost to the premiers.

 

[Topkent]

He stood up in the second half and was pretty critical in winning the game I reckon

If Collingwood goal after that drop on the goal line he might have never recovered.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Well I was right until half time, gotta give credit to Darling and Kennedy they both stoop like I haven't seen many keys do in GFs

What about break out games from Hawkins in 2011 or Boyd in 2016?

 

[Deemanding]

Would've been more iconic than the Shaw smother on Riewoldt.

 

[Bazza97]

Was a fantastic Grand Final, I was watching it at a mate's place with like 20 other people and pretty much all of them wanting the Eagles to win so when Sheed got that goal close to the boundary, the joint went nuts. This game delivered, thought the Eagles were in big trouble after conceding the first five goals but credit to them pulling it back and ultimately winning the game.

Hell of a game. Never forget that Luke Shuey grew up a mad Dees fan and we sandwiched him in the 2008 draft between Sam Blease and James Strauss.

 

[Tulip]

James Strauss.

You act like you regret it.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

You act like you regret it.

I'd do it again.

Wow. That just made me vomit in my mouth.

Imagine Shuey in our midfield?

 

[Cannon82]

Wow. That just made me vomit in my mouth.

Imagine Shuey in our midfield?

Imagine Shuey working at Burger King.

Yeah that’s vomit worthy.

But better than what the storm are dishing up tonight so thanks for the distraction!

I’m sure he’d have gone off the rails / left for GWS / turned into Cale Morten / left for Collingwood / left for Hawthorn / done 4 ACLs or whatever if we’d taken him

 

[stretcharmstrong]

I'd do it again.

Good draft, would Strauss again

Anyone got the photo of Andrew Brayshaw in a melbourne scarf after we rolled the Hawks?

To be clear I dug through the Facebook group to find this, I didn't screenshot it myself

He played more as a ruck though but yeah was a ripper game same with Hawkins. Not been many though.

Any idiots on here think Maynard should have gotten the free? Should have been a free to Rioli if anything

I can’t believe the furore about that (from anyone other than Collingwood fans at least) it was a marking contest that Rioli won, but Sheed dropped in front of.

The only howler free kick errors I saw was a high tackle missed to Shuey, and the holding the ball not paid against Howe 10m out from goal

While on Collingwood scape goats, Adams kicked it straight to Yeo ... the runner didn’t help, but Stephenson wasn’t getting to it short of teleportation

It was a fair hit. Suck it up Pies fans that's what Grannys are about.

Howe was lucky for a blatant holding the ball

Yep Woodward is getting a bum wrap for it, and it’ll probably be the end of the runner during active play, but that kick from Adams summed up why he’ll quite be elite despite his otherwise huge impact on Saturday. His kicking just can’t be trusted.

 

[schmuttt]

LOL

 

[PerfectFooty]

LOL

Loony bin

 

[Tulip]

Wow, they really are stuck in the 90s.

 

[Russian Demon]

LOL

This is like getting Mark Neeld in to mentor Goody.

 

[schmuttt]

Wow, they really are stuck in the 90s.

Heard from someone who has worked at North and Carlton that this is pretty close to the truth. Said they are a long way behind other Melbourne clubs in how they operate.
