MFC Fans Only Non-Demons AFL Discussion – 2024: This year really stinks (but not as much as the Gold Coast rebrand)

[mrmonkey]

Jordon worst on ground by a mile, what a terrible player. Needed to be an unused sub if Sydney were a chance.

Sydney were pretty ordinary, I don't think he was their worst not that it matters. There was a moment where he was so slow and got caught htb, definitely reminded me of why we loved him at the dees.

Lions will be contending again next year, they have the list and they will have the other Ashcroft and Coleman back at least.

What a bunch of lazy one way runners they where today the swans. There where times in the second quarter i watched them put their hands out when the ball bounced on the boundary line ready to appeal to the umps, when the ball bounced back in. Second to the ball all day and not willing to actually go after it

Anyways i said it around midyear, any one of us could see it honestly. If you continually start shit, you hand your opposition dangerous momentum in finals. It almost cost them week 1, and if cost them royally today. You can't play catch up in a grand final, because the opposition will hardly ever stop

‘All chips in’: Great backs major Lions coaching shake-up... and the ‘different beast’ they should target

Yeah I remember that. Most of the Lions losses was down to poor kicking. The coach can't come out and do the goal kicking. There is a point that the coach can get a group there but the group has to take charge.

This year they did (and a well deserved win it was)

Hamburger time!

I did the hamburger pregame.

However I had the people at Burger Culture make ours.

 

[mrmonkey]

Sydney's season does reminds me off the dees circa 2022. Started off crash hot second half not so great. They are lucky gws were chokers because they were staring at straight sets. At least they were good enough to make it.

King is such a weirdo. He came up with this bizarre axiom a couple of years back that was basically if a coach doesn't win a flag at a club in their first 5 years they never will. It's one of the most strange takes he's come up with and wrote off Fagan as a coach off the back of that.

Your comment is good and deserves a like on its overall worth, but I would like to give you an extra like for “axiom”.

You don’t get these quality posting types on the Richmond board!

David King "People you wish would just get sacked"

Everyone else "People you wish would just get sacked"

Jordon, had a lot of mates in the invisible club today, though. Like they showed up maybe for about 15mins at most and then Houdini'd out of the match.

Seriously this was almost a CC of 2022 GF.

2022 was basically over by QT it felt. This year was a quarter and a bit, progress!

2026 A Half, 2028 3/4s maybe, 2030 heartbreak against Tassie.

Dog shit granny but Katy Perry still fine as.

The graphics on that half time show were like 1998 level shut.

Statistics wise his game isn't much different than usual 10 kicks 3 handballs 5 marks and 4 tackles. It's fine when you're winning because his role is more of a tagging player. However when you're losing it looks no different to Sparrow.

 

[johndemonic]

I'm glad Brisbane won yesterday so ruthlessly in a way, even if the GF was somewhat of a let down. It shows how far we've got to go to build a list with more flare, speed and dash, kicking skills, and toughness surrounding our superstars. While covering the forward and defence bookends through one or two smart trades over the next 1-3 trade/draft periods.

SO knowing the Lions are adding more guns next year and will be the benchmark, will hopefully push us to be even more bold in rejuvenating the list.

If Sydney had won I dare say, we might've thought we could contend with our 3 or 4 superstar match winners carrying us, making minimal list changes. Like the Swans and their heavy reliance on Heeney, Gulden, Warner with most of the rest filling in the blanks

Maybe its a dumb take, but thats my opinion

 

[Praetorian]

The Lions have nailed most of their trade/FA targets in the past 8 years or so. Daniher, Cameron, Neale, Ah Chee all played big roles, McCarthy and Doedee likely to do the same if not for ACLs.

Underrated drafting outside the first round as well, and now enjoying some great father sons. They've put together a great list since the "go home 5" saga.

Yeah they've crushed it. McCarthy and Doedee plus Kitty Coleman and another Ashcroft next year

Damn scary

Happy for Fagan. Not sure he’s a great tactical coach but he seems to be a good man manager and lets his players express themselves.

Brisbane have been a good side knocking on the door for a long while. With their list profile they have the chance to be great.

for missing a handshake? The media and social media seem to think i should

Yeah the kid got snubbed and it sucks and looks awful. Like make no mistake, it sucks for that kid

But also cmon, people sometimes don't think in the moment

2026 A Half, 2028 3/4s maybe, 2030 heartbreak against Tassie.

I shall subscribe to your theory. A Tassie flag in our first few years sounds pretty bloody good.

The whole kids giving the players their medals has always been a pretty cringe exercise tbh.

 

[schmuttt]

As much as I wanted the Swans to win, you can't help but like Fagan. That image of him embracing Lethal at the end was just such a good bit of footy history.

 

[Demon 16]

Katy Perry was awesome!

Probably didn’t need to wheel out Tina Arena..
