Norf will cop a flogging - no game plan from what I can see. Turnovers galore.

And it's not round 1 of the season?! 

Swans looking good early. Parker is on fire.

Its a brave new world.

Luke Parker has 14 disposals after 17 minutes . Has Firrito targeted anyone yet? Wouldn't have the guts to target a swans players. Just goes after the young players. 

All pointless if we don't turn up tomorrow. 

How's the bloke in the crowd with the big old Afro and the half Swannies half Roos jumper?!

Sydney are so tough to tackle because they don't wear circus tents like a lot of Melbourne players do.

In olden times it used to happen quite often.

It's like hearing an old song you haven't heard for decades ... "oh yes ... I remember how this one goes!"

Feeling feelings we haven't felt for a while...

Norf will be doing no damage whatsoever in the finals. Get out of our spot you turkeys.

I have no faith in GWS in r23. Not getting overly excited with Sydney playing well here. This is the beginning 5% that needs to go right

Exactly, I hope the boys are just looking at tomorrows game and not getting ahead of themselves. Im sure Roosy has told them.

I agree pman they look spent at this stage. 

All we need to do is win and hopefully they lose by enough so that our % is high enough to go through. 

Simple really!!

NDS has kicked two since i said that. I'll shut up now.

Of all the weeks for Dick [censored] Santo to crank it up. Lift in Q2 Sydney, top spot is up for grabs here!

It's pointless turning up tomorrow if Norf win.

Probably just another totally confused Melbourne supporter....

Ultimately, if we don't beat Carlton, we don't deserve to play finals anyway. Whatever the outcome from this weekend (or next), the right team will make the 8.

If North can defeat Sydney or GWS, they probably deserve to cement their spot (despite hating the wankers with a burning passion hotter than the sun).

If Melbourne can't defeat Carlton after their second half to the year, we clearly aren't mature enough to make an impact in finals footy.

Sydney are playing like pus.

Is this game being played on a wet ground?

It dead set looks like its a slow mo replay. 

I reckon Norf will win this and it's all over. Like I need more reasons to loath this club!

Hope the Tigers beat the Saints.

Saints can mathematically still make the finals, even though its not being taken seriously.  All they need is to win the next two by big margins (vs Tigers, Lions), and North to lose both by big margins (vs Sydney, GWS) and for us to lose one of the next two.

If they [censored] the Tigers today by a huge margin they will be up and about ...shudder.

If the Saints beat the Tigers say 100-60 and the Lions 120-50 that makes their percentage 97.8. If North lose to the Swans 80-100 and to GWS by the same margin, their percentage is 105.5. That tells me that unless all four games are 100-point floggings in the Saints favour, there is no hope of them making up the percentage gap on North.
