He didn't, I dare say he would have been dropped but Buckley will keep him in since they're playing us.

Travis played the last time and kicked 2 of the most easiest 'Joe the goose' goals you'll see. Dunn did a great job on him.

My mistake, skimmed through the stats too fast.

I preffer to think of it as our chance to kill his career once and for all. And any of this ludicrous talk of them making a late push for finals while we're at it.

Career best game? WTF? Were you at the game? Actually, did you even watch it? You've just looked at disposal stats haven't you?

 

Well for starters I reckon he made his first effective spoil in league footy.

Some of his passages of play coming out of defence were good and I can see potential there.

Yeah he has potential, but "career best game"...?

To be fair Stu, it was the best game of his career.

It probably won't happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing Hunt get a run up forward.  Using his chase and tackle pressure.  Move Garlett up to the wing and give Petracca a run at Half Back.  

Petracca's reading of the play, clean hands and long kick would be a massive weapon off HB I reckon.  

Garlett's speed through the middle has been used as a real weapon in the past in bursts.

From memory, Hunt had a few good games in the forward line for Casey. Kicked a couple of 3's or 4's I think.

It would be worth trying as a change up I reckon.

I like the idea of Hunt on the Wing or HFF and Billy Stretch off the Half Back Flank as Billy is a better user and Hunts pace gets lost when he is forced into deep defense. Petracca will play more in the midfield this week, now that we have another big body up forward in Dawes to support Hogan. 

Just looking at the Pies side last week, they have the worst forward line I have seen in a while.. Shout out to Carlton..

Bernie is all clear to play.

Jonesy coped a fine for wrestling.

 

 

How many fines is that for N Jones this year? Is he on his last warning?

Why is everyone dropping O Mac despite him playing his career best game?

i reckon his older sibling made triple the amount of mistakes than O Mac did.

Good point. Let's drop both  of them

I think the third fine is a week.

I might be wrong, but i think that's only if it's a report where you get off with a fine on "points" rather than a wrestling fine type of scenario.

Cloke will be rubbing his hands together for Monday. Our defence needs to be solid regardless of their form to date.

Rubbing his hands together??? Did I miss something here?  How'd he go the 1st time around.

You can get as many wrestling fines as you can afford to pay. It's not a case of three strikes and a one match ban for wrestling.

The three strike policy applies to classifiable offences, wrestling isn't a classifiable offence.

Jack Grimes had 24 disposals  and 15 tackles.

Stick him on a half forward. At least we know he will add as much forward pressure as possible.

MELBOURNE will head into the Queen's Birthday clash against Collingwood as clear favourite for the first time in more than a decade. 

The Demons haven't been the bookies' clear pick for the marquee game since 2005, when Melbourne was second and Collingwood in 13th spot.

Oh jeebuz, we're screwed now!

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that 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 first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
