MFC Fans Only Non-Demons AFL Discussion – 2024

Soft grounds creates new issues - and making the grounds softer (but still hard enough to reasonably play footy on) will make little difference to concussion where a lot of impacts are from other players shoulders/knees/hips etc

Soft grounds could also exacerbate knee injuries.

I despise the filth ... and all those that sail with the filth.

 

[jhong]

Bummers to get back on the win list ?

 

[PerfectFooty]

Adelaide haven't started very well, am ready for them to make another late come back and fall short by a goal or two

 

[PerfectFooty]

I saw Thilthorpe make his comeback last week, but he looks massive now

 

[PerfectFooty]

I see McKay has followed up from last week with handballs to no one

 

[schmuttt]

I’m at this game and it is yuck

 

[PerfectFooty]

A lot of look away hand passes in this game so far, as well as lack of spatial awareness. Players calling for balls under pressure. Players on each team inventing problems for themselves

 

[PerfectFooty]

God that was so bad defending on the kick in. To allow the kicker to hit a player near the 50 then run up and receive the ball again unopposed

 

[PerfectFooty]

McKay can literally not handball any more

 

[PerfectFooty]

McKay can literally not handball any more

lmao the one handball he does hit, his teammate fumbles

 

[PerfectFooty]

The Essendon edge is letting your opponents get in your head, and becoming easily frustrated when things don't go your way

Lol right on cue

 

[PerfectFooty]

Lol right on cue

He's been broken since last week

I don't think i've seen a player fail one skill so consistently in one half

Wheels fallen off the Dons

And why is Goldy still playing? Moving worse than BBB

Wouldn't exactly hand Draper the keys to ruck on his own, despite what Draper probably thinks

Why not? We use Petty as our main ruck and nothing bad happens.

I tend to agree the ruck can be overrated, although i don't see Petty getting away with the bare minimum this week

Looking like a standard end of year fall off from the bombers again. Having said that they've managed to regain the momentum.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Wings too.

 

[PerfectFooty]

(Don't come for me Boeing)

 

[PerfectFooty]

Some pretty large momentum swings in this game

 

[jhong]

Reckon that might do it .

 

[mrmonkey]

Game over imo Adelaide just can't get that momentum back.
