Huge win. Smashed pillar to post all week, playing Port in Adelaide and we've, once again, beaten them comfortably

They're all back on us now

Wait til he has a bad game and tell us all he was right

Reckon it will be something like this. Out: Sparrow, one of Spargo/ANB/Kozzie/Dogga In: BBB and Melky. I agree we are unlikely to make too many unforced changes, but after a 5 day break we may rest some. It could be Dogga but then who rucks? Would like to see Bowey but don't think hunt deserves to be dropped after one poor game.

The best thing a Melbourne supporter can do now is import covid (Or another communicable disease) to Perth so we can play WC in Geelong. They have been smacked twice there this year

We obviously don't get up mentally for games against bottom teams, but do we really think that will be an issue in finals? We've beaten all of the top 8 teams we've played comfortably, with the exception of Sydney. But we need to finish top 4 to maximise our chances. Would bot be surprised to see us come out and beat Port. It's the adelaide/Hawthorn games I'm worried about, and how they will affect our top 4 chances.

I'll steer clear of comedy if you steer clear of footy analysis/commentary. Seems like we are both equally unsuited.

You missed as well. The two he's kicked. Oh, you're only following his misses? Right.

It'll be fine as long as it doesn't cost us a top 4 spot. Or having to travel to the Gabba week one.

Salem May Gawn Lever TMac ( what was that kick around the corner?!) Fritta

-15 In clearances More scoring shots. More inside 50s. More contested possessions. One less free kick. This is all on the midfield and [censored] kicking for goal, again

Anyone who reckons the umps have screwed us is kidding themselves. You play 1 qtr, what do you expect? Trac, Oliver and Viney were ****house. Hunt should be dropped. [censored] decision to not bring in another tall

Hunt better be out of the team next week

We've lost this. Had our chances this quarter and have just blown them with no composure and poor decisions.

Hunt another dumb footballer

Stupid from Oliver

Harmes is not a smart player.

Greene destroying Hibbo, getting smashed on the outside, Viney missing kicks. We are lazy.

Goody: Right boys, we really need to fix our mid forward connection so we need to lower our eyes when going forward. ANB: Are we going to bring a key forward in, Goody? Goody: We've already got him, mate. You'll be our lead up forward this week. ANB: ?

Wouldn't be surprised if Vanders is the sub

It's interesting that there have been a lot of repeat nominees this year, suggesting that a lot of older players have been nominated. I wonder how much impact Covid has had on this year's draftees, who missed most if not all of their senior year?

Can't believe they risked him. Extraordinary decision.

Just received a member's email from Gary Pert saying the club is beginning the process of selling the Bentleigh Club. 'I am writing to inform you of the club’s decision to commence the process of selling the Bentleigh Club. This is a significant decision for Melbourne Football Club and one which has been made following an exhaustive evaluation process over the past 12 months. Having explored all options it was clear that the best outcome for Melbourne’s long-term financial viability was to sell the Bentleigh Club. The proceeds of the sale will allow the club to establish a future fund, which will secure the long-term future of Melbourne and replace the income currently generated by gaming. Financially, we are in the strongest position we have ever been in our long history as a club and this is a crucial step in solidifying this financial security, without the need for support from gaming related venues. The decisions to sell the Leighoak in 2018, and now Bentleigh Club, have been based on securing the best long-term financial outcomes for the club, but it is also pleasing that this has completely removed the club’s reliance on gaming related income. Melbourne’s association with the Bentleigh Club commenced in 1996, with the club officially acquiring the Bentleigh Club in 2011 when the venue was operating at a loss and experiencing a growing debt obligation. As part of the agreement to take over operations, we agreed to repay the Bentleigh Club’s then debt of 3 million dollars and committed to investing in the operations of the venue to return the club to profitability, while maintaining Bentleigh Club member entitlements. We agreed to operate the venue until at least August 2022. Any sale of the venue will be settled after this date, to ensure we fulfill this commitment, and the Bentleigh Club will remain operational until that time. It is important we acknowledge the past Melbourne Boards and Administrators who worked tirelessly to return the Bentleigh Club to profitability. A special mention must be made of the Jim Stynes and Don McLardy led Boards who had the foresight to secure the Bentleigh Club back in 2011. Without their vision we certainly would not be in the position we are in today, with the opportunity to sell the venue and ultimately set the club up for the future. While the sale of the venue is the right decision for Melbourne, we understand it will be a disappointing outcome for current members of the Bentleigh Club. We are committed to providing these members with alternative arrangements at similar venues should they wish to do so. We will continue to keep you up to date throughout the course of the process and will let you know when a sale is achieved. I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your support and commitment to the Dees. Whilst our non-football related investments have contributed to our strong financial position, we could not be where we are without the ongoing support and loyalty of our members and supporters. Go Dees!'

Have been worried about this game all day, given Essendon's supposed good form. Then checked who they've beaten. Collingwood, Hawthorn, Freo. WC in Perth their only good win, but have lost to Richmond, Blues and GWS. Feeling we should get it done now
