MONEY CAN'T BUY ME LOVE

Standing up for his skipper (Grimes) who got unnecessarily belted. Great leadership Jonsey .... we need to see more of this sort of thing at Melbourne.

Ward was trying to get a few 'cheapies' in all day and has a growing reputation for it around the AFL too and I reckon Jones had just had enough of it. Good on Jones too. I wish more of our players would stand up to the opposition.

On a positive note, I think it was Clark/Magner who got injured and Ward also ignored play to see if they were ok and call for our trainers.

Ward is doing a great job for his club and has been all year.

'Cheapies' - in every way - are Sheedy's bread & butter. Not surprising that he's forced the more effective of his captains to play the Sheedy way.

Ward is quite clever giving someone attention when the opportunity presents itself.

Watching the replay last night (recorded game) I played it over and over and Ward set himself for Grimes, but did it legally. Jones fuse at that instance was short enough to stick up for his skipper. I'm pleased he flew the flag.

Commetti couldn't work out what started it...he's losing it and his form is fluctuating like a cork in the ocean.

It was a good win.

It baffles me why Sheedy did not play Cornes and had Power as the sub he was saying it was to do with resting them because they were playing a top 4 side in Sydney next round. Its not like they were on the cusp of the eight and taking down a top 4 side would elevate them to contention. I reckon Sheedy was buoyed by there last few rounds and and how they took it up to the Tigers last week and became over confident. Oh well glad the boys gave them a good flogging and maintained pressure for most of the game.

Does it seem that way does it? Probably only to you Ned.

You said that you would not have been distressed had we lost that game - saying that I find that amusing is the most polite thing I could say.

(And ease up on the personal stuff, you'll get into bad habits.)

No, I said I would have been distressed if we lost or it was an arm-wrestle. I'm a Melbourne supporter for goodness sake.

I'll be as personal as I like mate when a person misquotes me and then gives me a hard time based on their inability to read and comprehend what I wrote. I owe you no apologies.

I am sorry, I misread your second 'amusing' post as you would not have been distressed had we lost.

Sheedy did hint after the game that there was some focus on for the next round against Sydney. Must admit I was a bit surprised they didn't play Cornes.

Surprise noone has mentioned this today. Seems even Vlad got in on the action on Sunday...

Did anyone notice that Scully is out of team this weekend - reason quoted: groin injury. Wonder if this is Sheedy speak for 'dodgy knee'...remember the Essendon flu!
