Watching this Fremantle game is making  me appreciate how much Melbourne’s skills have improved.

I was thinking the same thing. Watching them hand ball to team mates standing still

Tom Liberatore has the worst tatts in the league

Castagna is up there.. Mambo Tatts by the look of them.

Having a tattoo of Bart Simpson kinda sums him up.

Fremantle let us down last year against the Bulldogs in the final round. I can't see them making up for that tonight. 

 

Libba must be a cheesehead. ? ? ?

Freo 3 serious injuries in 2 minutes, no chance of a comeback.

Umpire 22 is still the worst umpire in the game. Just hopeless. 
 

Freo applying nice pressure. 

Only watched the last quarter and I heartily agree with you.

....and also how well our backline negated the  Footscray forwards.

Man Freo can’t take a trick. They finally get their game together. Rouge knocked out with amazing bravery. Fyfe shoulder, Cox bad hammy and Darcy hammy. Lose your captain, ruck and best defender in 5 minutes

dogs blessed

Yep Dogs lucky to get away with that win. They looked ordinary. 
Optus Stadium is a tough ground to play at with a hostile crowd.

Brisbane and Richmond still my pick of the bunch for a flag alongside us.

If Fremantle can keep a decent side on the park they can still do some damage to the top 8 (and therefore help us) as they have home games to come vs Geelong, Richmond, Brisbane and West Coast.

Meanwhile there is now two games and 4% between Richmond in 8th and the rest of the comp, starting with Essendon in 9th (albeit GWS has a game in hand).

Seeing Essendon two games and percentage out of the eight makes me happy.

They've still got us, Geelong in Geelong, Sydney and the Dogs.

However, subject to COVID they also only have one more game outside Victoria (and only one other game, Geelong, away from the MCG/Marvel).

They, and GWS, are in my view the only two sides out of the top 8 who can make it. 

Shows how injury can derail a season. Losing Fyfe, Darcy and Cox with bad injuries within five minutes is like us losing Gawn, Petracca and May. Shocking bad luck for Freo. They were taking the game up to the bulldogs before then.

Horrible. Tatts that only Tony could love. 

Having watched both games today, I am now watching our game again (so I don’t have a life, it’s lockdown after all) and we look so good in comparison. It’s still sinking in but we are a really good side. really solid. It’s clicked. Finally.

Being a Simpson’s nerd I like his Tatts. 
Also Libba seems to not give a rats about what people think about him or what he looks like, which I kinda like also 

If you look at Geelong, Port, Bulldogs and Sydney. They all have a tough draw in the next few weeks. If we can win the next 2 then we could open up at least a 2 match gap at the top!

I like the fact he has random simpsons tatts!

Did anyone else notice that when Ryan (WC) kicked one of his goals v. Carlton one of his teammates kissed him. (Could have been Jermain Jones?) No biggie, just kinda funny.
