This would have been an unmitigated disaster for Melbourne about a month and a half ago.

Ticks, crosses and top trade priorities: Every AFL club g...

Every AFL club’s mid-season grade — and the biggest contract calls, trade moves that loom

Thanks Whispering Jack.

King's birthday round may be the deciding factor if we play finals this year. Not the final say if lost but we beat the Saints and then Pies currently on top spot, I think we will be in the final eight. Big call and a huge turnaround but given the players returning to form and the youngsters coming through, an understanding one.

We are playing footy light years away from last year and even earlier than just six weeks ago. To see Fritta, Oliver, Salem and KP and JM all back and showing form, gives us huge cause for hope . Although Fritta has a fair way to go, I think he may be turning the corner. And speaking of turning, Disco continues to delight alongside his mate . We have the unfortunate luxury of managing Tmac. And with Jvr and Jeffo seemingly playing well at Casey last week maybe some selection headaches for a fwd line will soon occur. AJ already doing his bit.

The proverbial part season of 2 halves

From the ridiculous to the sublime (not quite sublime but close enough)

I'll pay sublime the last two games. Your esteemed opinions for the change BDA?

The fitness change has been obvious but I wonder how in such a short space.

As mentioned KP and JM huge factors for our scores but there must be more.

Obviously winning has lifted morale but the blokes look like they care about each other more. The manner goals are celebrated and the sticking up for others.

Im sure Cwood will try it on and I'm looking forward to our response.
