And channel 7 ( from Sydney TV this morning) claimed in the narrative that Brisbane should have been paid the mark and win the game. Wouldn't know the rules/interpretations not being a mark and/or around the neck. Nuff Nuff

 

They are probably the same ones that think cheating Joe copped a push in the back.

They just make stuff up. I was at the game and May gave Melky a big hug at the end of the game.

And they sang the song next to each other in a big hug!

Based on last nights output it appears Max is a much better player getting continuity as the main ruck. I listened to the post match commentary and was a bit surprised that Matthew Richardson and then separately Adam Cooney (peanut if you ask me) thought that it would be impossible for Grundy to be an effective forward. I'm not sure I agree with that. Grundy is a smart guy and has plenty of football IQ so with some good coaching I believe he can evolve into a capable forward.

Cooney was actually suggesting we trade Grundy at seasons end - to me that would be dumb because atm we have nobody ready to take the ruck role on if Max were to get injured. I'd love to see Brodie become a serious threat in the F50 by the seasons end - over to our coaches to make it happen.

 

It makes sense that Max played better. Just like when Kozzie is struggling they give him a run in the middle.

Max played better because he was involved in the game on a full-time basis. You constantly get the feel of the game , the ball in your hands and have much more confidence. Particularly Max, who has always been an endurance player. Warming the bench or parking in the fwd line also gives one time to dwell on any mistakes or low form.

Superman Joe! Almost flew 10 metres. 

Have we beaten anyone in the 8 yet?

Is Kossie out of his form slump?

Is Melksham done and dusted?

Should ANB be getting a game?

Is Jordan just a VFL player?

Does Hunter turn it over too much?

Is Viney still getting a game because of his name?

Is Max gone?

Is Goodwin the right guy?

There was a handball Tracc did, maybe in the 3rd, that if Nick Daicos did it the commentary box window would still be covered in ectoplasm. Barely rated a mention.

Tracc was enormous with his will to release the ball to a Melb player in the last.

Memo to Simon Goodwin 

Restrict. Lachie Neale ✅

Play through the corridor when we can ✅

hypnotize Kozzzy to remember the player he was in round 1 ✅

let Gawn have 65% of ruck time ✅

my memo got read 🤣🤣🤣 definitely wanted Gawn as #1 ruck though the Gawn to 90% ruck was unforeseen 

 

It’s not unforeseen. It’s why they wanted to get him help - he is 31 and if he has to do that consistently he will be out of the game in 2 years max.

Remains to be seen how we go forward with this.

Why don’t these 4 brain dead clowns mention that Hipwood that giant lizard had Lever in a headlock? Is that not a clear free for over the shoulder high anyway? 🙄

Everyone is IGNORING the FACT that Hipwood has his arm around Lever's neck!!

It was a free kick every day of the week. And yes it was a mark to Lever in any case

Lever had a stinker? Very few intercepts, turned around multiple times, no attacking drive. Luckily he did just enough to not get beaten on the siren 

Lever was solid. Watch the replay. Bad, bad call.

Yes but he can't do it for 25 games a year now.

Yea that's a genuine issue. Probably not, but it was great to see vintage Max.

In that last quarter the whole Team willed that win over the line, a real team effort.

How good is jarred rivers 

I see what you did there.

 

'Jarred' was outstanding in the final quarter and his bullocking drive off half-back was inspirational

As was Viney's goal from the stoppage. Woey's first goal, there were a hundred highlights...

Super impressed with Melksham and Sparrow backing up last night with a visit to my son's Auskick this morning. Kudos to both and the MFC. ❤️

There has been a narrative spouted recently in the media that the fight in Entrecôte was the reason our form turned last year and explains our drop this season as well. That our culture had been irrevocably damaged somehow. It's a load of tosh.

I have a lot of time for Caroline Wilson. She is a proper journalist.

She had a niche - the politics of football, and is still the best at reporting on the back room stuff.

Unfortunately her niche has become the template and has metastasised into the gutter gossip peanuts like to Tom Morris trade in.

Exactly, which is why we have to find a way to fit in a second ruck. So he can keep Gawn fresh for when the season really requires him to play 80% time in the ruck.

That's a Hipwood mark all day long. Clearly marked Levers head.

Asking for a friend, did anyone on here leave the ground early or notice anyone pull up stumps at the 22 minute mark of the last quarter. I noticed at the Kings birthday game a lot of Pie fans walking out with a few minutes to play and they almost pinched it. 

Anybody still around that remembers a bloke called Tassie Johnson.

Well he was there for a few minutes in spirit in that last Qtr.

Love these thanks Mr Lace Out.

 

 

Something nice to read on a lazy Saturday morning.

My fav bit is this. 

However, Melbourne refused to give in, and when Jack Viney ripped the ball from Oscar McInerney’s grasp at the stoppage and booted it home from 20m out, he got the Demons back within five points with 2:12 to go.

And the winner.
