Lucky to be as close as we are. My man Jones keeping us in it. As I thought, we just have no idea how to find a mark inside 50. Tommy Mac should have been dropped last week, and we're paying the penalty for it now. Bate is really becoming an important player for us, IMO. Neeld is getting the best out of him.

Jones by far our best so far.

Scrappy stuff but the effort is there. Three more quarters of that thanks.

Jones and Rivers are keeping us in this, while McDonald is keeping them in front.

I can live with this. Morton ok, Watts needs to more. Multiple times we ignore the centering kick to a free man in the corridor. MUST be instructions to help learn the plan. Watts keeps presenting in the corridor, gets ignored and if there's a turnover, his man is free.

Tom McDonald has absolutely no idea. Plays the man way too much because he runs off him and then gets caught out. Not a fan.

how many games has he played?

It seems to me that Jack Watts never runs flat chat, yet the commentators reckon he comes off for a rest looking absolutely spent. Therefore, it's obvious that so many of our problems stem from our pathetic fitness (thanks DB).

how many games has he played?

Not many, but I've played even fewer. If I can see his problems, surely he should be able to see them too.

Jones is doing this single handedly!

NATHAN FRICKEN' JONES!!!!!

What a wasted opportunity.

They are looking good tonight... lots of good pressure in the forward line. And for those who were saying Jones will never be anything more than a C or B grade player, I think his showing in the first four rounds is showing he is very capable of stepping up to be an A grader once the rest of the team catches up with him.

Great forward pressure!

Great goal created by Grimesy. But Nathan Jones is doing things I haven't seen a Melbourne player do in a long time. He's still really young and could still go up another level.

wet weather is hurting us

Dropping simple marks. Giving away silly free kicks. I know it's wet, but this silly little mistakes are stopping us from really getting a run on the aints

Who says Bails is no good? Great stoppage goal.

Bail Bail Bail!!!

Even Joel MacDonald is doing good things tonight.

I'm seeing Morton closer to the packs than ever before. He's learning how to play as an outside player but not so outside that he's useless when we don't get the ball. Repaying the faith a little.

Finally we are getting free kicks because we are actually going in first for the ball!!

Davey!!!!

Davey winding back the clock with a goal from some awesome tackling pressure.

Geez we are really having a dip 2night....

Great stuff Dees!!! Go go!!
