MFC Fans Only Non-Dees AFL discussion - 2013

[Logger]

The Cats would be my second or third team, happy to see them get another odd-numbered flag, especially with Rivers on board.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

I hate Freo, I want Rivers to get a flag.

So did I, until this year. The blokes who chase a flag more often than not don't end up with one.

 

[Cannon82]

I dislike Andrew Mackie. If he played for Brisbane, North, us etc he'd be shown up for the coattail-riding hack he is.

 

[RandB]

Still expect Hawks to win this but wow Cats playing with gusto. The things Clarko will smash if they get done...

I don't even think Rivers was chasing a flag, he was just chasing success. If he stayed at Melbourne he would be playing out his career without a final.

I'm happy for him that he was able to overcome injuries, and play well enough, to get in this team for the finals.

 

[rhaz]

Rivers building in composure.

He'll be stuffed in they move Hale directly onto him though.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Umps are fully in control of who scores when.

Frees are based on who needs to catch up.

Yep, I thought the rules had changed during the week. No consistency at all. On a side note, how good is Hale? He just contributes all over the ground.

 

[wowlace]

Umps cost the Hawks 2 goals in that qtr.

 

[Chew Man]

If there has been a better finals player than Stevie J over the last 20 years, I'd like to know who....

 

[rhaz]

I just can't handle watching games like that as a neutral.

I don't know what it'll be like if Melbourne ever play in a prelim.

 

[LeverPuller]

Travis Varcoe heck heck heck heck heck

That said, a quiet 30-point win for Freo coupled with the injuries to Hale and Buddy and questions over Bailey and well...HEAVE HO!

 

[PitchBlease]

Another win for the bad guys.
#heaveho

 

[rhaz]

heck that, I hope Sydney get up tommorow, and failing that, I hope Freo get smashed by the Hawks. Absolutely no love for that team.

 

[Captain Jack]

What a game. Epic.

 

[Cannon82]

That Andrew McLeod chap was handy.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

That Andrew McLeod chap was handy.

Don't know which club bent Freo over more in the mini-draft that year:
Chris Groom for Andrew McLeod, Phil Gilbert for Jeff Farmer or 4 Essendon hacks for Matthew Lloyd and Scott Lucas.

 

[wowlace]

**** that, I hope Sydney get up tommorow, and failing that, I hope Freo get smashed by the Hawks. Absolutely no love for that team.

Yep, do not want Freo even in the granny. Go Swans.

 

[Tulip]

If there has been a better finals player than Stevie J over the last 20 years, I'd like to know who....

Clark Keating is your man.

 

[LeverPuller]

Clark Keating is your man.

Brad Ottens would go close too

 

[Deefolt]

Brad Ottens would go close too

meh overrated, just filled a gap that geelong needed imo

 

[youngbear]

I hate Freo, I want Rivers to get a flag.

I don't hate Rivers, but I'm glad Geelong lost last night. I wish all former Dees players no success, especially those who chose to leave.

Unfortunately, nearly all clubs have former Dees; so no one can do well

Rivers played in 3 finals for the Dees... 1 in '04 and 2 in '06

 

[Dory_77]

Filled it pretty bloody well though!
Excellent game last night, Hawks were brilliant in that last quarter. Probably shouldn't have been that close though; their forwards missed some real easy shots. Might want to address that before next week.

 

[Benwah83]

Brendan Whitecross has joined that rather unfortunate list of poor bastards that have done their ACL multiple times.

Not a fate that you would wish on anybody.

Except maybe Hitler.
