POSTGAME: Rd 05 v Hawthorn

[MurDoc516 1,529]

Last half papered over the cracks of a shacky first half if i'm being honest.

Clearances a problem all afternoon till the last quarter.

Forward connection a problem all afternoon till the last quarter.

BUT Who cares 5-0 BABY.

Melksham won’t get dropped after today

Nor should he

That's the role we give him, and when the ball finally rolled forward he converted

You are correct he doesn't get dropped when he is crap for weeks on end why now?

He kicks goals

whilst others kick points

Hawks fans are flogs.. close the thread 

[In Harmes Way 7,783]

Given that was played for the Beyond Blue cup, you should all call a Haethorn supporter and check they’re OK.

And if so, stick it up them

I’d happily play B. Brown, Weideman, McDonald and Fritsch together.

Absolutely. Give the opposition match up headaches. Bloody West Coast have played big forwards for years.

All on board the reality bus

Don’t think it’s fair to label Jones as “cooked”. But next week is huge and we need our best 22, and on today’s performance I’m not so sure he’s in that team. 

I doubt they’ll drop him, he’s the guest on the couch on Monday night, I get what you’re saying but he won’t be dropped for this game. After 300 I should be “managed”

Jackson doesn’t count as a tall IMO

Because he can’t hold his marks. When he fixes that, watch out!

Oliver had a ripping 3rd and 4th.

Anb a great final as did Jv.

Salem is back to his all time best.

In tge finsl analysis with our poor kicking we actually smashed them.

Max is playing his best footy ever. Weid next week for Melk.

Add A May and Coleman capable Brown in 3 weeks and wow.

I want Jones to play 300 but not next week.

T McDonald goes to the wing. 

Or a flank in the Melksham role.

Welcome back Hibbo

 

Hibberd lays claim on spot
Former Bomber Michael Hibberd has been made to earn his place back in the Demons' defence and was brought into the side for his first appearance of the season. The 31-year-old made a seamless return, gathering 21 disposals in a polished display out of the back line. The tough and physical left-footer also had a moment of brilliance in the third term, when his effort to smother and stop a goal deep in defence helped set up a Melbourne goal at the other end of the ground.

[low flying Robbo 979]

Doubled our 3 quarter time score! What a win. 
I actually thought Frost played a good game for the first 3 quarters. Then it was great to see an opposition have to suffer through some Frostball 

[ding 5,126]

The new Melbourne wins the games it is supposed to.

Loving that we absolutely ran away with it.

PERCENTAGE !!!

Feeling very smug right now :)

Frost was a real dog earlier in the game. Trying to play tough. Too bad for him he’s a terrible footballer and I enjoyed immensely that he helped us get a goal. For once his turnovers helped instead of hindered us. 

[Demonstone 22,526]

In a game that was meant to promote mental health, does anybody else reckon that our boys were really cruel and mean by leading the Hawthorn players and fans on for three quarters into thinking that they were some sort of a chance?

He plays next week

We've killed former Captains numerous times over last 2 decades 

The team is obviously happy to take Jonesy to 300 so let's all embrace it!!

[Tarax Club 3,914]

Incommunicado for first 3 quarters due to work/travel commitments. (The scenery was superb though). Only able to switch on for the final stanza, been a top day. Go you mighty Demons!!!
