Think 9th is sewn up now, 120pts ahead are the Cats.

 

Would have been 7th IF we rolled the Saints,.

But we didnt, on to next week where we get another crack

And I know Ablett is a legend of the Geelong Football Club, but if he was a Melbourne player doing what he's doing out on the ground with the opposition players now we'd be livid. This is the captain of Gold Coast. They've lost by 120 points, been humiliated and Ablett is still out on the ground, all smiles, having chats with all his mates.

Catch up with them during the week. Get off the field now. That's embarrassing.

Wow Port did it easily. I did not see that coming. I mean I just thought Richmond would bounce back with there ins. But good on Port. It will be all Dimma next week. All eyes will be on them next friday night when they play the hawks. Who do Richmond have to come back apart from Rance. Yarran? Yeah he is going to help them. 

Not sure if its a good thing or not to play a team coming off a 100 plus point win. But im pretty sure we still have confidence in our game than GC. 

Anyway we are 9th.

Ablett all laughs and smiles with Geelong players after his team gets belted by 120 points.

I would be filthy beyond belief if my captain was behaving like that, beyond unacceptable. Go have a bloody coffee with your buddies tomorrow morning if you want a social catch up!

Sadly the 8 is just about locked.

This years pretenders the Suns have been exposed. 

Next year for us.

 

Pretty clear to me now, there's only 9 contenders for finals this year and we're one of them. Sadly the top 8 is usually locked after round 6, and I fully expect 8th placed West Coast will shut down Collingwood tomorrow by a sizeable margin.

We desperately need wins in the next 2 weeks to stand a chance, or else it's curtains for 2016.

Who would've thought after today's effort that we'd actually move up a spot on the ladder?!?

We will beat GC next week... I'm happy to bet my left nut on it :o

Exactly.

Such an irony being 9th.  Had we won we would have displaced Hawthorn in the 8.

That would have been a beautiful thing.

We would've been 7th for at least 24 hours, until West Coast [censored] on Collingwood. Sigh. :mad:

Indeed and my plan for turning my Hawthorn-supporting fiancée into a Melbourne supporter (9 years in the making) may have had some momentum. :P But not to be this week.

That man is pretty good though.

But you're right - stop Lynch and you go some way to stopping GC.

We'd leave him loose all night like Reiwoldt.....

I hope I'm wrong, I did tip us the last 3 weeks, but looking at who's above us it's going to get tough. Still a few wins left in the season and we're a chance to take a big scalp or two before the years out.

There is no legitimate reason we can't replicate what Geelong did tonight, but if Lynch ends up matched upon Jetta then our coaches are truly clueless.

Yeah a bit strange that we gain a spot after losing. But that's a positive. 

Port kick the first 2 goals of the last quarter. Now up by 33. 

Small crowd there tonight.  Official attendance at the MCG tonight is 27,07. Wow I know its a saturday night but geez the tigs fans have dropped off.

Maybe they should have played an interstate team at Etihad SO WE COULD AT LEAST PLAY ST KILDA ONCE AT OUR HOME GROUND THIS YEAR.

 

I know, I know, build a bridge. Just needed to whinge about it one more time.

Saw this in an Age article about Cloke in the vfl which also discussed young Tyler Roos;

 "Carlton development coach Josh Fraser has labelled Tyler Roos, the son of Melbourne coach Paul Roos, as an "emerging young player". Roos, a VFL-listed Blue, made his debut for the Blues on Saturday against the Pies as he looks to make his way into the AFL ranks.

"He's still evolving and developing as a young player," Fraser said. "He showed a willingness last week to be able to work from contest to contest, he finds the ball and uses the ball really well, he's got some outside run and he's only going to get better and better," he said.'

Good rap for the young man.  Great thay his debut game went well.  He may yet mske it yo an AFL list.

Its a shame his father couldn't be at his debut as he was coaching us.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
