    Prediction Which team(s) will we not beat in 2022?

    Bit of fun maybe? No club has ever beaten every other side in the league during the home and away season alone. So, I thought everyone could test their luck and declare on the record which side(s) we won’t defeat from R1-R23 next year. In 2021, the correct answer would have been ‘Collingwood’...

    AFLW R1, 2022 - Dogs v Dees at Whitten Oval (Saturday 8 January)

    God bless whoever is in charge of fixturing. Have been praying for this. https://www.womens.afl/news/76514

    Preview Round 1, 2022 v The Western™️ (TBC)

    Club wants to play the Dogs in R1 and unfurl the flag in front of them apparently. absolute 👑 s**t

    Prediction Best and Fairest, 2021

    Saw that the Dogs had theirs tonight. Does anyone know when ours is? Anyway, I thought it could be a bit of harmless fun to predict top 10s and other awards. For the record the best youngplayer award doesn’t have an eligibility criterion anymore (ie first year players) but from what I can see...

    Analysis Miscellaneous records thread

    Best percentage in second halves of any premier since 1929 Full credit to Ron The Bear This is how this flag was won. As noted, percentages as a trend were much higher in the early days of the comp, across shorter seasons.

    Autopsy Norm Smith discussion

    Really who cares, but I never thought we’d win a Norm so let’s analyse it to death. Trac and Fritsch dominated the votes obviously for what they did in the third, but there was a bit of ANZAC Eve to it in that Jackson fundamentally changed the contest in the third quarter to allow Petracca to...

    Analysis Who’s the greatest second half VFL/AFL team of all time?

    This one is a genuine question, esp for older heads on this side. I’ve rolled it out mostly as a joke this year re: this Dees side (not at all suggesting it’s us), but I’ve never actually paid any attention before. Accounting for scoring etc, who are some sides that have done there best work...

    Toast Paul Roos

    Can’t find an appropriate Roosy thread. The spark that lit the fuse.

    Analysis Ranking the sides we’ve played this year based on their performance against us

    Curious on everyone’s thoughts. For me it goes: Adelaide Sydney Brisbane Collingwood North Geelong GWS Richmond St Kilda Hawthorn Fremantle Carlton Bulldogs

    Preview Changes v Brisbane - Round 12, 2021

    Langdon out, Sparrow in with some readjustments on field. I really think we’ll win this one. I think we’re vulnerable away against sides that bring the heat with a vocal home crowd (as clearly demonstrated last week), but otherwise teams just cannot play good footy against us at the moment, no...

    Analysis AFL Player Ratings - MFC chat

    Probably my favourite statistical measure, so I’m making two threads in one day. I warned you Proper Gander you’ve unleashed a beast. https://www.twitter.com/AFLPlayerRating http://t.co/gPLgiILaEy?amp=1 MFC rankings for 2021 games alone after six rounds: Gawn is the highest ranked ruckman...

    Universal Love Gus and Gawn

    Figured the podcast needs a bit of love and a discussion space. They’re taking a hiatus this week which is fair but I reckon they’ve missed an opportunity, would get huge traction after the Richmond win. That’s not very #positivelingers of me though, so let’s hope for a huge 7-0 celebration...

    Universal Love Things you are the worst at

    In honour of supporting history’s worst 5-0 side, this thread is a safe space to discuss the things you are the best at doing badly. I’d like to nominate myself as the worst ever at not being deathly hungover on a Monday morning

    List Mgmt. 2020 Draft and Delistings

    As it stands we have picks 18, 19, 28 and 50. I'd expect us to use all four picks, as 50 could come into 40 or so after clubs have to use multiple picks before 50 to match academy bids. Currently we have 36 players on our senior list and three rookies (Chandler, Mitch Brown, Jay Lockhart)...

    Strategy Positional changes

    Basically just things you want to see happen in 2021 I’d love to see Salem and Rivers attend more centre bounces and/or play the wing role opposite Langdon (or Smith if we get him) at stoppages around the ground. Also would like to see Harmes played up forward, is the closest thing we have to...

    Preview Changes v Port Adelaide

    Out: Jones, Jetta, Brayshaw In: Tomlinson, TMac, Bedford Not sure why Rivers has fallen out but if Tomlinson and TMac makes us too tall for the slippery weather I’d bring him back.
  17. Gysberts2Bate

    Preview Changes v Brisbane (the ol' 'home' game in Queensland)

    Think normally TMac would have to fight his way back in but Brisbane are very tall at both ends. Don't know if the coaches will go with both of Jetta and Lockhart. Vanders and Brayshaw both with questionable moments with ball in hand as well as some very good ones and plenty of impact around...

    Preview Changes: Round 3 v Essendon

    Can’t be carrying so many liabilities next week. Too many players who just had zero real impact today.

    Redraft the players on our list

    * I'm bored, so here's a game. Redraft our entire list in order of importance/value/whatever. Take into account raw talent, exposed form, age, leadership value, positional rarity, injury history, etc. Petracca Oliver Gawn Fritsch Lever Harmes TMac Pickett Viney Jackson May Salem Melksham...

    Prediction Best 22, R1 2020

    Unless Robertson (or Gould) slides I doubt pick 30 will play R1 and let's just assume Bennell is locked in. Time for everyone's favourite prayer exercise, the R1 hail mary. FB: Hore May Jetta HB: Hibberd Lever Harmes C: Langdon Petracca Tomlinson HF: Fritsch Weideman Melksham FF: Pickett...

    Prediction The entirely arbitrary and pointless Luke Jackson posterity circlejerk

    Time for everyone to put their money where their endless melting is. This thread exists purely so we can all point fingers and laugh at each other when Jackson turns out to be either a good pick or a bust, either for us or elsewhere. put your predictions below I’m gonna say good pick

    Preview Changes v Footscray

    Can Goody continue his dominance over Bevo? In: Gawn, Baker, Lever, Jetta Out: TMac (inj), Hore (inj), Petty, Lewis/ANB/Lockhart Would love to drop both ANB and Lewis and bring in Jordon or Bedford but unlikely to see five changes after a win. Lockhart probably needs a spell too but I do like...

    Backfire Name Richmond fan responses that aren’t ‘we won the flag’ after they lose to Melbourne

    Title says it all. What excuses will they come up with other than the fluke premiership that validated the emotional existence of their 90k feral fans?

    Think Tank Like this post if you think we should get rid of interstate clubs

    Would save us about a hundred threads about Vic bias etc. Don’t know a single Victorian team supporter who cares what happens to non-Vic clubs. AFL, consider this a live petition
