They went down by 25 points after a goalless final quarter. The Queens Birthday game promised a lot - especially the beginning of Max Gawn's ruck dominance but two months down the track, we simply can't score goals any more.

It doesn't take long for these games to roll around again does it?

No Jack another 4 weeks of my life has disappeared with no improvement by my football club.

Dear Melbourne, this is what Adam Oxley looks like:

What is his number?

Damn this seems so long ago.. we actually played attacking exciting footy in patches and looked unstoppable in doing so.. think we had a burst of 6 straight goals and another of 5

A win this week vs the Filth would be healing for the fans..... shame it wont happen

We scored our goals against them from some pretty isolated spurts from memory with a great deal of endeavour. Hopefully we go in with that attacking mindset. Howe can play back (on Oxley?) and Harry forward - if he's going to stick it to his former club by running around like a headless chook then let him do it where the only play-on option is kicking it at goals.

well the good news is the 2 players that scored against us in cloke and elliot are out. The bad news is Jesse White is there and has been out of form. So that only means one thing. He will kick 5 goals straight and find form like cloke and daniher did.

But it will be interesting this time around what will happen. Im sure Tom is sleeping well that he won't have to take Cloke.

Fitzy any chance to get up and run with White? Would beat him hands down in tunnel-ball, leap-frog, rounders, fiddle-sticks . . .
