MFC Fans Only Non-Dees AFL Discussion - 2017 - Finals. And yes , again its non Dees discussion

[PerfectFooty]

Not if you have been listening to SEN, been calling on there for ~10 years.

Don't get Sen out here in the sticks. We only get Triple M and ABC Grandstand

I seriously can't tell if

Eyes means nothing, it's an indicator, not a free kick. Daniher took him out of the contest before Gilbert had a chance to do anything, regardless of what he was going to try, its a very clear free kick.

Disagree. Gilbert had no intention for the ball and it could be argued that Daniher acted in response to that. Either way, I don't think it was the wrong call, but it wasn't the stupidest thing the commentators said either.

I must admit, I wondered about the Saints after last week. High pressure first half where things kept working so the pressure stayed high. Once the pressure dropped Richmond got in the game.

Tonight the same. High pressure first quarter that dropped away as things didn't work. Once it dropped off they got blown out.

 

[JP2]

Saints are the kind of team who look like a million bucks when they're able to play the game on their terms, but who fall to pieces when they're denied that opportunity. Basically, exactly what happened in round 1. I don't think Richardson has a plan B when things start going awry, and I don't think they're good enough to be able to expect plan A to get them over the line every week.

Yup. Essendon's midfield - which is rubbish - made them look positively pedestrian tonight. Even if they make the eight that s**t gets you nowhere in September.

Looking at the run home. The Saints have to play us, Sydney and West Coast. West Coast have to play the Giants and Crows. While we have to Play the Saints, Crows, Giants, Port. These matches will shape the eight. Essendon have an easy run home and i expect them to make it now

I think when the Saints play the Eagles, that will essentially be a elimination final

I think Essendon knocks St Kilda out and the rest of the eight is in. Critical to dodge Sydney week one as well (although with an actual forward line + Jones, Salem, Watts, 4QT Viney we are a very different side).

Did anyone else notice how soft Jack Newnes was last night?

Without pressure they are nothing, now that Roo has dropped off they have no star power, Just a bunch of real blue collar players without much edge or excitement, not a real surprise when you listen to their coach speak.

I did.

Saints are one-dimensional. Ordinary team.

 

[TheCount]

Personally, I can't wait until North beat Essendon next.

True. That will be fun.

St kilda fans in preseason

'Melbourne are soft unlike us'

But they've got so many star players ... Jack Smith, Jack Johnson, Jack Black, Jack Nicholson, Jack Reacher ... something like that anyway ...

 

[schmuttt]

Saw Barrett outside the ground at the mcg, he is taller than I thought.

 

[TheCount]

Danger in big trouble with some sort of lower leg injury. Geelong may have just watched their season get carried into the rooms.

 

[Topkent]

Neither the saints or bombers will do well in september. Bombers are pretty without substance in the midfield. Saints are gritty without substance

 

[LeverPuller]

******* Norf, way to be ******* useless.

Of course they'll probably beat us too.

I think we'll finally beat them coming up ... I reckon they've gotten progressively worse since they beat us.

Meanwhile, at the MCG, Danger is on one leg and has now become Geelong's only decent forward. Interesting decision to leave him on the ground, I hope it comes back to bite the campaigners.

 

[Supermercado]

Surely North will be floating an amphibious tank across Bass Straight by the time we play

Or found their new full forward!

 

[TheCount]

Or found their new full forward!

I'm trying to figure out if its a testament to what an amazing player he is ... or a condemnation on how incredibly reliant they are on him, even on one leg.

Probably a little from column a, a little from column b

Norf don't tank, just ask 'em

lolololololol smith

Smith blows it again!!!
