Melbourne approached the game like millionaires and paid the price. It was also a day of infamy for the umpires.

I would be really p*ssed off if we didn’t give this mob a real pasting after that performance in Adelaide.

It would be a really nice way to lead into finals.

As much as I'd love to belt the Crows, and we really should, because it's the right thing to do, I'll take an honest win that doesn't cost us any injuries. It also means we stay on top and the game against the Cats is for the minor premiership!

I get why but Bb dropped after three games earlier this was in hindsight a big mistake.

H2o under the bridge and im glad hes had time to run into form.

As Richardson said last night, not many blokes who have kicked sixty plus three years in a row.

Big game and statement from him coming up v the crows.
