Turnovers killing us again.

Hunt limping. FMD.

Preuss !!!! Why has he not been in the team even just to try him out.

Would love TMac to take a mark this year.

Should have been a free to Melksham. Would have been a free to Sydney at the other end.

Add Jetta and Lockhart to the growing list. Mature-age forward Jay Lockhart has a back issue, while gun backman Neville Jetta is also battling some soreness.

Mature-age forward Jay Lockhart has a back issue, while gun backman Neville Jetta is also battling some soreness.

Lucky he can't kick straight against us. * * He'll kick 10 straight tonight.

He's kicked 42 goals 43 points against us averaging only 2.8 goals 2.8 points a game.

Well, this day arrived rather quickly, didn’t it?

SWANSONG by Whispering Jack They said that in 2019, the Melbourne Football Club was going to take its game to another level but we were never prepared for the level the club is reaching as it approaches the fourth round of the season holding up the entire AFL ladder in a match that could be its swansong for the year. We were meant to be premiership contenders, not playing off for a wooden spoon which is what will be the case unless there is a sudden and dramatic turn around in our fortunes! And whilst there’s been a lot of soul searching and declarations of honesty and openness, the fact of the matter is that nobody really has the solution to the club’s woeful form or why players who could hold their heads high in the first half of September last year are dropping marks, fumbling the footy, leaking goals in short bursts in time and allowing opponents to dance around them if they were stationary witches hats. This week, they make the trip north to Sydney where they face off a lacklustre side that, despite struggling to overcome Carlton, will start as the red hot favourite to beat a Melbourne combination that seems to have taken a trip back in time of half a decade to its dark, old days of wretchedness and ineptitude before Paul Roos took them for their first training run in the post Neeld era. The Demons can be thankful that they have Angus Brayshaw, Clayton Oliver and Max Gawn because some of the others who led the charge last year have become invisible men. Sydney have scored about the same number of points for this season although Melbourne averages 8.3 more inside 50 entries per game. On the other hand, the Dees have conceded 100 points more than the Swans - a sign of how poor they have been because their opponents this week have been no world beaters. Melbourne’s underdone skippers Nathan Jones and Jack Viney are in charge of a ship that is listing in a storm. It’s their job to take control and steer it into calmer waters. However, they have the task ahead of them in front of a hostile SCG crowd - Sydney by 19 points.
