There was something different about our Game Plan after half time but i cannot put my finger on it , anyone know what it was?

What's better than beating Carlton by a point? Beating 'em by a hundred! HA HA! GO DEES!

Interestingly we’ve kicked the highest points for in the league with 940 to date, of concern we’ve conceded the highest points against of any of the teams in the 8 at 740 (better sides around 670-690, North the best at 640). I guess over 9 rounds that’s only a goal a game.

The one on the left is Zac Fisher, Jarrod Garlett is the one next to him. The third one is Harry McKay and, as has been correctly pointed out already, the tall one is Kreuzer (lucky we lost the Kreuzer cup).

 Agree on losing Kreuzer cup

(loved watching Travis Johnston’s 42 perfect disposals)

Kreuzer never impressive to me

most of his disposals are terrible hospital handballs and kicks

Think he has a very low IQ

For a brief moment I felt sorry for Carlton (only because I went to the game with my best friend who is a Carlton supporter)... but then I realized that nobody gave a stuff when we were garbage and I deserve this after years of suffering

What a game to go out on before I go away for 3 weeks! 

Enjoy your break Jaded. If it śtarts to go pear shaped, you'll have to cut your holiday short.

We went a little more direct in the 3rd quarter but mainly because Carlton were all over the shop to start the 3rd and then very flat in the last quarter.

It also rained a bit more and the wind that was very strong in the first half had died down.

Beside a series of stuff ups to concede a goal on the siren our first quarter was very good in to a stiff breeze and the second quarter was composed with the ball as well.

Don't think so. I believe that our win in R6 of 2004 was by a few points more

That win was 106, was also against the blues and in the last couple of minutes I was screaming at the telly to get the margin out past 106 so we could better the previous margin. We duly did

He was B o G in my view. Look at his Fantasy points, 140 to Tom MCD 113

Milkshake, T-Mac and Max all well ahead of him in my book. By the way, I’m not a betting man but I did have a small wager on Oliver getting more possessions than Cripps - lost out on that one by 5. The difference? 5 soft free kicks.

I hope your planets collide !

Watching on tv I was thinking at half time we have a tendency to run forward in waves but it was like we were aiming to get the ball to about 35-40m out and then didn't really know what to do, handballing in circles, stuffing around with it etc

The 2nd half it felt like we started attacking the goals rather than trying to set it up a bit further out and we just steamrolled forward. It was dominance which I haven't seen from a Melbourne side before whenever we got the footy we would roll forward with 3 or 4 players similar to GWS "Orange tsunami"

Bluesfree football

Check out the amount of "likes" on that one. D'land loves a pun.

If I was Blues suppprter I’d be peed off with how Lamb carries on and the young bloke Mackay rubbing Hibbos head when the flogger just got a 50m penalty awarded to him. 

I think those boys resemble the MFC of years gone by whereas they’re just happy to be AFL footballers and couldn’t give a toss about results.

If you want to see the mindset Goodwin is trying to instil, watch how many players get to Hannan, after he chased and caused the turnover for Clarry's goal

You go from siren to siren, no matter the score

Do we have sirens at training ?

No one deserve votes when your side is beaten by over100 points, I don't care how many disposals they get full stop.

Yes we beat up on bottom sides, there are wins and then there are wins, last year against the suns we were 36 points down, just beat Carlton twice last year, big game next week.

Credit it where credit is due then -

Eddie working in his favourite cliche during a discussion on Melbourne fans maybe having to reconsider their late-season holidays - just as ANB piles on another goal: A nil-Buller in favour of Neil-Bullen August.

I'm certain it came out of his mouth before he was even conscious of it.

I got so accustomed to the theme of today, I turned away in the last quarter as I drank my pint in the MCC and laughed without a care in the world, like I was a Hawthorn supporter...

this is great.. such an evocative image.

I'm picky with my puns. There can't be that much work in it. There's a fine line between a great pun/wordplay and just a dad joke.

Casey win by 106

dees win by 109

Wouldn’t mind seeing our percentage based on the last four games only!

Is Jed Lamb always such a d!ck or was he putting on a show yesterday?

We played like every goal should be celebrated and every goal hurts.

Viney's little mid-week speech to the press helped in this regard: celebrating every goal and hurting for every score against the MFC.
