Next time we play Port, if we do, I hope Harmes sits on Butters.

our selections against certain teams this year has been somewhat mystifying This was one of them

Harmes hasn't properly tagged since 2019. It also correlates why Harmes hasn't been the same player since 2018 when he became one of the top taggers in the game. His form has since been on a slow decline.

Not sure why some think that this will all of a sudden change.. 

Goodwin has been on record saying that he prefers to back our system and method in the midfield so that we're not solely not focused on one particular player, but more so on a collective group of midfielders.

They got it done at the MCG. 

The look on Brad Scotts face at the presser is priceless.

Glad Port won just to see that.

Houston lucky the umpire didnt give him the hurry along. There was still time for either side.

It pains me to say it and plenty will hate hearing it but i think the guy needs a fresh start elsewhere. 

Unless something changes dramatically I don't see him part of Goody's plans unless there is injury.

Side note; are we the goodies?

Weidemann was a source of a lot of contention, frustration and the occasional burst of open anger on here, but it was mostly directed at each other on the forum - generally there was a consensus that he was a good human being with limitations as a top-level Australian footballer.

But.. Essendon fans... so much bile directed at their own player. It's a little bit horrific.

And this isn't the only comparison - back in the day I had Essendon supporting friends when Melksham was with them and both they are some of their friends were absolutely unhinged about him - every clanger was aprompt for open "[censored] you, Melksham, you [censored]". It's not as if he suddenly stopped being a sometimes frustrating player when he moved to us, but we at least have some restraint.

I mean, the abuse aimed at Weidemann in the last 24hrs makes Picket Fence v Cale Morton look mild mannered!

Great post with the perfect dismount!

Damn that last kick. Freakish.

I hate port more than the dons.

Will pp be on holiday?

CW have changed the game 

No longer a full on contested game style  which is our Schtik so 2021! The Dees are now poorly equipped to take these teams on

Pretty bold thing to say given we just beat Collingwood.

hawks horrible. 

Was expecting a big effort from the Hawks today. Someone must have pointed out that a win might leave them with a chance of dropping down the draft order.

Would love to see the Hawks get on a row and knock the Baggers off. 

Not fearful of either of these mobs

Lucky to be watching the game from a box.

Seriously cold here.

yes understand that lets see how they go the rest of the season 

we have almost shot ourselves in the foot again this afternoon. Never seen such poor decisions and kicking

Um what's happening over in Perth? Who is this West coast team?

Disappointing that WCE couldn't hang on against the Saints but hopefully this is the start of some competitive performances from them. Melbourne can't rely on other results to get a decent ladder position but we don't need WCE gifting percentage to our opponents either.

Saints still found a way to win. If only we could say the same.
