Re: 2018 Final Series

Great story TD. I wonder if he still recalls it.

Obviously thought you had no improvement , you had reached your peak and weren’t worth signing up ;-)

Re: 2018 Final Series

Hurts to say it, but thank christ Collingwood saved the day as that was a shitful first week of the finals.

As far back as we are, we are closer to another premiership than each of the losers of the first 3 finals.. they're all stuck in no mans land.

And it kind of sucks that they lost because we are likely going to get West Coast in the GF and it'll be over by half time.

Re: 2018 Final Series

Maybe umpires aren't equipped with a clear rule to properly deal with this but if they were it'd get knocked on the head pretty quickly once it starts costing teams free kicks.

Greene's the only f*ckwit doing it habitually. By letting it slide the league's extended an open invitation for others to follow suit.

If a backman did the same thing to Greene would he get a free against?

Re: 2018 Final Series

I thought it was McClean .

You thought wrong

He did it to Mclean in the prelim, but kicked Dahl in the face last year.

Re: 2018 Final Series

I went to both MCG games, MCC members for both.
The Thursday night was fine, but the Friday was bloody awful. I went there trying to barrack for Melbourne, but 5 minutes into the game it was utterly impossible due to their supporters. I’ve never seen anything like it. I get it that they’ve waited a long time for this, but they were so awful - really lippy, over the top carry on for every contest/umpiring decision/goal, and a lot of nastiness about them - you just couldn’t be on board with them as a neutral. It’s put me off going to Hawthorn/Melbourne this week. The only good thing about the match up is that at least one of them will lose.

I’m staggered that Melbourne are heavy favourites this week. It’s a toss of the coin for me, but for Melbourne to be so heavily favoured after the error riddled game they played in on Friday, is a bit baffling.

Funny, I went to the second game we played against them this year and sat in the MCC........and noticed the same thing.

They are so twattish.

At the same game I sat in their club members section and was surprised how arrogant they were. Just on them being favourites it happens every year. The losers are finished and the winners are unstoppable. Majority of the time it doesn’t work out that way.

I maintain that they are the only threat remaining that Richmond has.

And if Collingwood can roll GWS at the G (Which they will do with their eyes closed) they'll get a shot at Richmond in a Prelim.

That's a nightmare scenario for Richmond.

It's the one thing stopping me from going for them their fans. They're the underdog, haven't been there in ages. It's all the elements to bandwagon. But their fans are insufferable. And always have been. They boo the umpires and whinge at every opportunity and get overly confident when they win a single game, even though the week before they'd lost the unloseable. You'd think, like bulldogs or saints supporters, that they'd be pessimists or at least controlled in their optimism but no. I can't stand the other 7 teams so melbourne gets my vote by default, but it's bloody hard to want them to win! I'm torn this week.

The MCC when the Dees are playing is full of the stereotypical Melbourne supporter:

- early/ mid 20's male
- went to a private school
- wears RM Williams
- silver spoon
- loud
- obnoxious

Should I continue?

They really are a hard team to warm to, especially when their poster boy also has his head up his own arse.

Re: 2018 Final Series

Melbourne should go super hard for Wingard. Playing in a team like that he would kick 3 goals a week minimum.

Petracca.

I like the way Big Max & Brayshaw go about their work, but Petracca is all sizzle and no sausage.
