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

[schmuttt]

I’d rather not play the Pies, think their leg speed really exposes us.

I agree they’re not a great matchup but with how weak their back 6 is our forwards could go berserk.

 

[Topkent]

Prelim against the pies would be nuts but we have also out played the eagles west 3 games in a row.

 

[Bazza97]

Not a big deal, but I'd prefer Collingwood to win tonight. Should we beat Hawthorn, would love the opportunity to beat Collingwood after they gave us a touch up on QB.

 

[schmuttt]

Glad Sydney are out, that garbage style of footy doesn't deserve to be seen again in September.

The swans playing at home has been a massive disadvantage for them all season long. So weird.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Sydney have the new tactic of choking at some point in the season and then wasting all their energy just to make finals

 

[Deemanding]

Interesting that all 6 teams have kicked more points than goals in the completed games so far. Finals pressure and all that...

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Go Pies! Im dreaming too far ahead of a Prelim at the G to be saying that, clearly.

As much as I hate West Coast, I'm kinda wanting them to win so I don't have to travel to see a final haha...but you're right, Pies winning would mean a 50/50 game if we make it through to the prelim.

 

[Blackas87]

I hate Collingwood too much to want them to win, although it would be an awesome prelim to attend.

West Coast do look beatable at Optus and we know we can do that.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Yeah I cannot barack for Collingwood. Even when they’re playing west coast in Perth, and the crowd reaction to a west coast loss would be sooooo delicious!

 

[00Stinger]

im torn. If the Eagles get up I win $1,100 on my multi. But if Collingwood win it helps our finals draw as we wont have to leave Melbourne

Jeez Yeo is a gun

Darling will be a danger we didn’t have to contend with last time if we have to pay the Eagles again

Ditto Kennedy

Ditto Kennedy

As shown tonight Kennedy is stoppable if you have someone to run with him all day, and Oscar is very fit. Darling’s forward craft might be a bit beyond Frost though

Either way, you can’t discount that they were (effectively) without both when we beat them, and they’re both better than handy players.

Oh without doubt. Just saying I’m more worried about Darling. Wish we had Lever for him

By the way, public service announcement: if I never see the term ‘forward craft’ written in this forum again it’ll be too soon!

Geez Liam Ryan huge on the outside for the Eagles. Almost filling the Gaff role

Not gonna lie I was half-satirising Topkent

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Good game. I’d have been nervous AF if our game had been like this. I’d have been a wreck

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Perfectly poised for two quick pies goals here

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Pretty harsh HTB call there

 

[schmuttt]

Honestly think we’re a better chance vs the eagles than the pies if we make it that far
