So....

As my wife and I fought our way through IKEA this afternoon with 2x cranky two year olds I was checking the scores every minute or two. The battle we faced dealing with lollygaggers, rubberneckers and just plain [censored] stupid people in the claustrophobic throng was nothing like the enjoyable Scandinavian utopia I was hoping for. 

Judging by the score line, our anguished shopping outing seemed synonymous with whatever was happening at the G today. 

Next scorecheck, we were kicking away (so I thought) to a four goal plus lead. By the time I got home they had it back to 7 points. I couldn't do it and turned off my phone. When I turned it back on, a dramatic message from a mate describing the shitfullness of the game made me think we'd lost. To much relief, a final scorecheck said otherwise.

bloody hell, I'm totally drained! 

The burning question is watch the replay or not?

Please cast your votes here....

Worried about our bottom handful of players. Wagner, Stretch, Vince, ANB, etc. Just don't do enough.

Great to have Jesse back. Works well with Pedo. 

Hunt had a Barry Crocker. Jeffy quiet again.

By the way Dayne Beams is an absolute star, Mathieson five free kicks for!

Mathieson has a very slappable head

So let's recap this week's posts in the Hogan thread:

1. We are better without Hogan in the side

2. He should earn it in the VFL like everyone else

3. Our fitness and medical staff are incompetent and negligent for letting him play

Some 'supporters' are just pathetic

Let's be honest. West Coast aren't beating Adleiade at home, let alone by 50 odd points.

We're playing finals ladies and gents. Nath Jones in September. Drink it in. 

West Coast win by 20, Melbourne's loses by 20 and we are out of the finals.

Not even close to being over.

Melksham did a great job on Zorko when we decided to tag him and collect 29 possies himself and a goal. 

Certainly in a good vein of form

In rough terms there is about a 40 point difference between us and wet coke. If we lose by 20 points and they win by 20 points they may scrape us by about .1 of a percent. I think wet coke may beat Adelaide who already have a top 2 position locked. We have to beat the pies.

Jeezus H!  My fingernails are gone, I'm wearing a blood pressure cuff, I don't' know where a bottle of scotch has gone and the cat takes off like a shot out of a gun whenever it sees me!

Sitting here thinking my brother has changed his name/avatar.

Alco Crazy cat man. Blood pressure and all.

 

Pedo best on for me. Great contesting, hits packs like 3 Jack Watts combined, goals, massive tackles. Will be one to watch if we ever play a final on the "G'

 

On the flip side, Josh Wagners primary school skills and constant brain fades are going to cost me my voice box. Absolutely infuriating to watch the bloke spud it up today. Swap for anyone on the list next week.

 

And finally, when will someone tear that lions wankers head off. Surely the biggest head ducking cheat in the game Mathieson. Knees collapse every time he gets the ball.

It was very Melbourne to limp over the line. It was very Melbourne to let them get back into it in the last quarter. However it was very UN-Melbourne to actually win it.

I put it down to the value of experience. Hibberd and Lewis were terrific at the end there, cool and composed. Both experienced ring ins. Compare that to say, TMac, and the gulf in composure was enormous. 

Jesse fantastic and Pedersen not far behind.

I want Frost back and TMac in the forward line next week.

Dayne Beames. [censored] hell, it's been a while since an opposition player reamed us the way he did today. Great player.

Just saw the Bernie incident. Wouldn't expect him to be suspended for that, was a genuine spoiling attempt, just a bit crude. Could have absolutely ironed Beams out if he wanted, but kept his eye on the ball for as long as he could

BrisVegas are much better than their ladder position suggests.

Hogan is better than many had recalled. 

Melksham onto Zorko and Trac into the middle changed the game our way. 

Lewis showing his worth and Jones showing his want for September action.

Jones was wonderful again coming into some great form towards the exciting time of the year. 

Pedo great with a happy looking Jesse made me all warm and fuzzy.

Brisbane are definitely the best wooden spooners in a long time. They have won a few of late and pushed the dogs and tigs. They'll be alright if they can keep there talls another couple years while not losing much from the midfield. 

Not sure what the coaches see in Wagner but I don't. I'd like Salem back for him. I know Hannan kicked a clutch goal last game also but I still think Watts might pinch his spot now that Jesse and Pedo will take the top 2 defenders.

Whats happened to stretch? Looks like a lost child out there at the moment. I'd say he'll be the one in strife when Viney is back

A bad win but considering what was on the line forgivable, having said that vince was absolutely terrible and cost us at least 2 goals at crucial times, to me he looks cooked. Not even thinking about his possible suspension

Glad someone can see this.... absolutely true and why at 32 points up we should have kicked on

My personal reflections on Jesse Hogan as a footballer are moot. He is part of our team. I will support him. congratulations for the 6 goals. That it was against the bottom of the ladder defence is irrelevant... I watched on Friday night Adelaide v Sydney and concluded that we are well below the required standard to get further than the second week of finals.. still; not too bad all considered. We enjoy the moment. Nice at the least to be in a position of contemplation. Thanks to all for the entertaining comments. May you all wake up tomorrow.

What's going on with Mathieson and the umpires? More than a quarter of his possessions came from free kicks. Same thing happened last year. I haven't seen a lot of the Lions this year, but does that happen every game?

Watch him every time the lions play.

 

Throws his head back like he is in the hands of ISIS, every time someone lays a hand on him, even if its around his waist.

Cheating, head throwing, knee buckling filth.

 

 

On a positive note for Brisbane, how good is Hipwood going to be. Amazing mobility for a bloke his height. 

They seem to have a really good collection of young talls.

When you play Benny Hill music as you read his posts they begin to make a little sense.

    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
