When I saw him kick it from fifty on the run, I knew it was our day.

Frost. On the run. From 50. 

 

Can't be sure but that move may have been controlled from the box or the MFC Official at the interchange. Doesn't matter it was brilliant. When was the last time we have seen a move like that.

Interesting in Jones' interview at the end of the game when they were talking about big Max...Jones described him as 211cm; has Max grown another 3cm or is Jones talking him up (see what I did there)?

How times change.

Ben+Kennedy+Heritier+Lumumba+West+Coast+

Kennedy has been a revelation and Lumumba looks far better this year already, maybe his ankles were holding him back in 2015?

I was massively unimpressed with Lumumba after the Essendon game, but he has been very important to our run out of defence the last 2 weeks.

Great to get the win, but really, don't get ahead of ourselves.  Some of the turnovers were horrific and until we get these out of our game we will continue to be hit and miss. 

Frost is like a 3 year old Colt, might need to be gelded to get that consistency.  The open goal that should have been in the last minute of the 3rd, what a goal it would have been he just got a little bit excited.

Happy with the win, need to improve for next week.

I agree there were some bad turnovers. Having said that and everyone saying how poor cwood were, they did tackle quite a lot and very hard. What Im saying is their tackling pressure wasnt bad and the turnovers were on par for that. Full credit to us for fighting through the pressure the pies put on us in the third quarter.

but just think how close we could have been to 4-0

Yep thats what makes the dons loss so bad. Two wins and going the distance against north in their tassie fortress is a good start.

Came to ask the same thing. 

Pretty sure it would've been a cheap behind the play punch in the guts. Not sure how Ch 7 missed it. 

i'll bet they didn't. they have plenty of other cameras on different angles

I thought after the first break it was the greatest intensity Collingwood brought all year. We didn't adjust our style accordingly (overuse) but we didn't get overwhelmed or drop our intensity too much either which was pleasing.

Watching the Watts on ground interview after the match and he mentions H speaking to him about the 2010 Premiership and about belief (which you can very much picture Lumumba doing) and then there is the shot of the Melbourne players walking off the ground and their are a lot of hugs and back slaps for H. Perhaps he could be one of those players whose worth is valued way more than what they just produce on the field.

I am becoming a big fan of his

I was a fan the day he chose to join us.  All the noise out of Collingwood about him being troublesome was ridiculous.  He was mocked there for being outspoken, thoughtful, eloquent and for having decent morals.  With such cerebral types as Travis 'Ian Baker-Finch' Cloke, Dane Swan and even Buckley getting stuck into him you can understand his desire to leave that neanderthal pack.  He is a very good footballer and a very good role model and Collingwood did not value this.  Roos did.  MFC did.  It looks like our players do.  I love the guy.  Frustrates at times but very few don't when trying to improve as our club from where we have been.  Love the H fndee!

I think the 2016 fewer interchange open running style suits him way better than the rugby maul seagulls-fighting-over-a-chip style that was played over the last few years.

I too was unimpressed after round 2 but was hopeful that we could turn on the same stuff we showed in the last quarter against GWS. And we have, and it works, and it suits H. It suits most of our players.

You could see C'wood yesterday trying to close it down into a greco roman wrestling match but unfortunately for them, we're now better at that than they are.

Great win, was one that kept saying to my Col mate that we could still lose this, and he just said we play really exciting footy.  So happy we didnt crumble, maybe we have truned a corner, but they need to back it up this weekend.

On a side note, had a Canadian bloke behind me with his son, (I'm from Canada and people think I'm slow eh.) so spent a fair amount of time explaining the rules during the game, which i didn't mind doing.  Has anyone ever tried to explain our game to someone that has absolutely no idea what is happening? I struggled a bit with it but in the end he had a great time and was even getting into the "BALL" shouting, but i suspect he was just following the crowd.

Two quick questions re. umpiring decisions. The touched off the boot Treloar point that went to the goal review after a marking contest. Is this within the laws of review system? It seems if a field umpire calls touched then it could have an impact on the following contest. And the Frost free on the 3/4 time. Pedo picks up the ball after the free is awarded and is absolutely dumped. Can 50m be awarded to the kicker if a teammate is impinged in the process of returning the ball? Just curious (Read: I was one of those with a chunk of cash on a 39+ win).

Yes free kicks can be awarded until the umpire says it is all over.

For example, if you are having a shot after the siren and a team mate nearer to goal is dumped, he can get a free kick.

Can't agree re Bugg. Had a ton of tackles and is tough as old boots. Agree it will be tough finding someone to make way.

i reckon young clayton looked tired today and ineffectual. Great kid but could do with a spell - it's a long season for a first year player. 

Wrong.  Totally composed.  Every touch.

I once went to a game with a mate from the states and tried explaining the rules.

I gave up at 3 quarter time after multiple instances of near-identical holding the ball decisions were made differently by different umpires.

Just glad I didn't have to see the North game with him. I struggle to explain some of those calls to myself...

The 2 of them were pretty good, the kid was understanding a lot quicker and i heard him explaining some thing to his dad a few times.  It really makes you think how complex the game really is, especially when their main sport is ice hockey.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
