Game Day AFL Round 22 - Melbourne v Adelaide - MCG - Sunday 15 August, 2.10pm, 2021

[Satan]

No injuries and a 5-7 goal win thanks. Cheers

My sentiments too , well ahead before the thunderstorm delay in the last quarter and no injuries

 

[Jon Koncak]

My tip is that we will be up 5 with 30 secs to go and then get done for an outrageous ‘insufficient intent’ free, leading to Jordan Butts slotting one after the siren.

Crows by 1.

Probably the most I've missed footy all year, beautiful sunshine, can see the G from my apartment, wish I was walking up in a bit.

Sounds like a shit location for an apartment

 

[Dogga6]

Reckon Joel Smith might be a sneaky late in.

 

[tomcruise]

Heads we win, tails we win. Thanks for the invite, I feel so included.

On DL the rumour is for May, hopefully nothing major there…

 

[demondavey]

Don’t know what it’s like in the city but down here in west gippy there are strong winds gusting . Might make kicking straight problematic. Anyway if the chance to go back on top isn’t incentive enough I don’t know what is .

North westerly winds. Not overly strong. Shouldn’t impact too much. Conditions perfect. Top of 19 but it feels like 12 apparently. Which I don’t agree with because I’ve just been gardening and I was getting pretty sweaty in my old Irish woolen jumper I bought from Killarney.

 

[Topkent]

Dogs and cats clearly have one eye on the finals rationally we might too and could easily drop this. Yet of it does happen I'll still be furious

What are they saying?

was shown on the melbournefc insta stories walking out on the ground, has surely been managed with Adelaides talls out and perhaps the pre finals bye scrapped.

 

[Jon Koncak]

What are they saying?

Just someone heard May is out and Smith is in. Later that they clarified that they heard this was just to manage him rather than due to an injury.

Who knows. Smith for May would be a little odd given apparently Smith has being playing a rebounding flanker role but I suppose we don’t have many options (Daw but he has played RUC/FWD this year?).

Hibb in the side too. I would say Petty to Thilthorpe, Hibb on Himmelberg and then Smith as the third tall.

Confirmed Smith for May, on the MFC Instagram.

Ugh, but also fine to give May a rest.

Especially with no bye- suspect that’s a big part

More likely if May was to get injured we have to find out who's next in line.

(general soreness) replaced in selected side by Joel Smith
Adelaide: Nil

 

[Blackas87]

What a day with the sun out. I’m in the mood to watch us flog someone.

 

[danster168]

no issues with this. I've always liked Joel Smith. Probably the best athlete on our list. probably comfortably

 

[ImissFrosty]

I ****ing love Joel Smith. This is an upgrade.

 

[Crimson Azure]

My sentiments too , well ahead before the thunderstorm delay in the last quarter and no injuries

Every time I see you post this comes to mind.

 

[Fitzey]

Actually thought Max might of got a rest this week and Majak given a run with O’Brien out. Will be good to see how Smith goes though.

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Resting one of our most important players in a game that’s almost a dead rubber. Good call.

Could just be that Goody knows that a frustrating loss is needed to help re-unite this board.

JOEL SMITH

 

[demondavey]

Every time I see you post this comes to mind.

That old man in that clip, was he the finger tapper in the wheelchair in breaking bad?

 

[Tulip]

can I have a plus 1?
