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

[Crimson Azure]

Come on Freo!

Never thought I'd say that.

 

[Bluelegs]

Freo win with a 3 goal quarter. Slow down the game, Ross Lyon do your thing.

 

[Scythe94]

For the third time in three glorious weeks: TOOOOOOOO THE ADELAIDE BOARD!

Glorious indeed

That Hodge vs Heppell hit is classic old vs modern footy. Hodge saw the contact and immediately braced to protect himself first, Heppell came in as if he expected Hodge to be gentle and copped it. Just an example of blokes not knowing how to protect themselves

Good call, Heppell just waltzed in completely open - was bizarre to watch especially with a top paddock Hodgey coming straight for him

Fremantle 10.11.71
Adelaide 9.14.68

Just had a look at the match stats - other than Hayden Ballantyne, I don't reckon I could pick the other Freo goal scorers out of a lineup. Who are half the blokes on that team?

I'd be upset if my team just got beaten by a mob with a bloke named Scott Jones in the side. Scott Jones! The indignity!

Heppell is just classic soft footy

Perhaps, however just think maybe that tough games prepares a team better for the finals?

not if we beat everyone by ten plus goals like we do now.

Which every final played last year was nearly decided by.

I made the statement yesterday, the only on paper team this year that looks worse than Freo’s team against Collingwood last week, is Freo’s team this week ...

 

[Ablett2Garland]

Collingwood top 4 anyone?

 

[Tempy Tiger]

Collingwood top 4 anyone?

They couldn’t have been more impressive yesterday. They did to us what we’ve been doing to s**t teams the last six weeks.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Vom

The Rance thread on the MB has really cheered me up from Monday’s game.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Watts dropped.

 

[Cannon82]

Well, the Bulldogs are quite garbage. At least they can look to the future and build a side around their much-coveted forwards Boyd and Schache...

Richards is a bit likely though.

 

[ABray10]

This is good, hopefully Port win easily and get complacent, and hopefully the bulldogs keep being just as s**t for the next couple of weeks when we get to play them again.

 

[Deemanding]

Sydney:

Q1: 122 disposals for 0 goals
Q2: 4 disposals for 1 goal

Some great reading on the carlton gameday thread atm. Could end up with a bolton sacking if this continues

This match is an absolute train wreck. If it was Richmond at the MCG or West Coast at Optus would understand, but this is against another bottom half team and it's a Blues home game.

 

[ABray10]

Carlton are laughably bad at the moment, not entirely sure what they need to fix first. Don't think the draft is the answer, they have taken a stack of top 20 picks over the last couple of years. Probably should be looking for some mature bodies with their second round picks for the next few years.

 

[Tulip]

This could push 186, and its the 12th side on the ladder on the other side of the country. Bolton can't develop players
