Stole my line! A week for stupidity, looked a dive from Juice live & the scoreboard replay revealed minimal contact at worst.
One thing is for sure if Pratt wanted to snot him Newton wouldn't have been taking the kick, or any other for a while...
5 - Moloney (Outstanding clearances & leadership)
3 - Sylvia (Explosive second half)
2 - Petterd (Even before the goals came, his contesting was excellent)
1- Jamar (Dominant)
1 - Davey (Glimpses of his old self in the first half)
Didn't see the Scorps game but going on what's here I'd have...
Out:
Dunn (Another poor choice as sub, no impact & out of form)
Wona (Love him but he needs to regain his touch @ VFL level)
Morton (Played like a space cadet sloppy, lacking focus)
In:
Bate (Glad we made him earn it...
Grabbed mine on 360@ Target Northland $89 ticket price but they matched Dick Smith's $79.94. The bloke said he had a few left on 360 but were sold out on PS3. None on display @ K-mart & couldn't be stuffed asking.
Went past EB games on the way out, their big AFL LIVE stand had 4 or 5 360 cases...
Good
- Putting them away nicely in the last.
- Encouraging stuff from Green,Davey,Gysberts,Wona,Tapscott & Martin
- Kicking 23 goals
Bad
- Kicking 21 behinds
- Lazy 3rd quarter
- Watts is not Sub material, would've been better off @ Casey.
Ugly
- Channel 7's delayed coverage
Hate channel 7! For all the reasons already mentioned but in particular the zooming in & out bloody impossible to follow on a normal sized tv.
I've never liked delayed telecasts, I listened live on SEN & followed the game on the net. Watched the replay on Foxtel so thankfully the ad's had no...
4 - Trengove (Good to see him bounce back after a mare last week)
3 - Moloney (Outstanding clearance work)
2 - Jamar (Didn't have much to beat really but did, and 2 handy goals)
2 - Bail (Strong 4 quarter effort)
1 - Jurrah (Set us up with another blistering 1st half)
Dead right! This sort of thing's been going on for at least half a decade & started well before Bails took over the reigns. Sacking the coach might work but we'll still have the same hot & cold players. Good players motivate themselves & inspire those around them.
Some of the points made...
Sunshine 14.5
Sunbury 9.14
Good game.
Sunbury's skills let them down a bit not just goalkicking, their kicking into their forward line was pretty poor. Sunshine looked pretty slick.
I was pretty critical of Bell over the years but this explains a lot re his lack of awareness. I hope he's looked after however I don't think the MFC can take all of the responsibility for this.
On SEN apparently he said he still loves the MFC & knows how dicey our financial situation is but...
Brucey was one of my favourites but he was never the same after Guerra took him out. I wish him well but hope he has a mare on Sunday. I think we can win in a close one.
Great to have Chip back tough ask against Buddy first up. I think Garland can handle Roughead. Petterd simply must start...
4 - Moloney (Won so much contested footy)
3 - Garland (Beat Goodes)
2 - Martin (Best game for the MFC)
2 - Tapscott (Inspirational debut)
1 - Trengove (Solid all day)
Petterd has to start next week.
Rivers & Maric were below par but I think their pre-season form entitles them to...
