Stand by the Newton omission being a poor decision. He's our 3rd ranked goal kicker.

Yep. Jetta for Viney for workload reasons wouldn't look so bad if we had more fun and not a giraffe stuck in the forward line.

Edit: Run, not fun. Freudian slip, obvs.

I just got on Melbourne to win by over 15.5 points. Offering of $5.20 was too good to resist.

Look out for Normans!

And another goal to Port.

Even though it is only a 4 goal margin, it is not looking good at all now.

Viney on, but for Jetta, which is disappointing but maybe had to happen.

Jetta "in" was a poor option. As was retaining Fitzy. Doesn't add any value to our mid field and made us too top heavy (with the addition of an extra "tall" spud).

Riley and Viney were a much needed addition to the rotations through the mid field.

Even Newton would have been a decent option over Jetta. Our defence is not the issue it's the mid field and too many talls versus a Port who has so many solid extractors through the middle.

I will never support Roos bringing Jetta off. Never.

Surely Jetta hasn't lost that much fitness. He would have been allowed to train and run while out with concussion.

I just don't understand why you wouldn't bring in Viney and take out Fitzy to give us more run.

I don't even know when we will ever back up a good win with another good win.

And how many goals have Port got in the last 5 minutes of quarters?

And it has to be said - Jones 11 possessions in 1st quarter, 4 for the next 2 quarters. It may not be his fault if he's getting a hard tag, but if he is & we're trying to rely on him out of the stoppages, we're going nowhere.

It's the GWS game all over... [censored] pathetic. Our inability to stop a side when they have a run on is a real concern, no players put their hand up and stop it. Why was Jetta subbed out ? Obviously managing his minutes but [censored] me, fitzy can not move out there. Why he was picked in the first place once Ryder was out is moronic

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
