I went today expecting to see "the Melbourne way". I think i must have missed the briefing? I thought that the Melbourne way was contested possessions, pressure and work rate? I realise that it was hot and the wind was a bit swirly but there was no intensity or work rate. I think that it's very simple to blame the defenders when there was little team defence around the ground. Today we seem to have had a complete mare across the board. I'm really concerned about next week against the cats.

This is the way it looks to me. Berry does not see he is about to run into May. It was a stupid decision by May that was made worse by Berry's complete lack of awareness. Deserves to be fined

Last time I was there Brad Miller played his best game for the club on Hall and Cam Bruce slotted the winning goal. Great to catch up with the cheer squad at Bass Hill caravan park too!

Will have a look at the game when I get home. Richmond had more clean possession and spread well after 1/4 time. Hunt must have a death wish. Goes for everything. Richmond clogged our space after 1/4 time. Thank God they didnt kick straight! Two things I saw were RAnce sticking a knee in the back of a Melbourne player when getting up and stretch throwing a errant foot out at a richmond player when he broke the tackle. Clarry is a star

Garletts shoulder was right near me. Rance's arm came down on his shoulder. Not good. Garlett showed courage to contest against the odds

I had a feeling that the rotations through the midfield were biting us. Richmond were doing their flood dump kick attack that quarter. Weeds seemed to get caught under the ball a few times. We need that tall option to take the contested marks

Richmond winning in the air and on the ground. Who is 38 for them? Killing us in the air. Is number 34 for us Hore? He has done ok INHO. Poor disposal from gus, nibbler, JKH and stretch hurt us. RIchmond spread brilliantly and opened us up. I have not seen Dusty up close before. I now see why he is so hard to stop!

A lot to like. Defence working well together. Attack looking potent. Only a couple of the kick ins have been changers. A good performance. No injuries.

Cant find you ding!

See you there Ding! I'll be making the trek from Wang

Demonland requested a user name so I just went with defuture

Strange delivery this year. I got mine separately last week and my daughter got hers separately 2 days later. Still waiting on my wife and her twins packs? We have country membership that used to come in one large package to the same address well before Christmas. Why the change?

Still waiting!

Was it a European or African Swallow?

Fantastic that we are no longer stuck in the world of sunday twilight footy!

Fqwwww are bw dr award rewards what'refo

I thought he was in jail?

Good Call. I reckon that maxy will be the marking tall in defence more often than not. Especialy when competing will the gorilla forwards. He is then the get out target in the air. Not get may wont hurt us as preuss is the man we needed

Disagree with you rocky. Oscar will end up being as good as or better than tmac.He is more composed and taller. He is probably a 2-3rd forward in reality and is being played out of position by neccessity. I would have played hogan at CHB but now it wouldnt surprise me if weeds ends up as the swingman

Lets just keep it to ourselves!

Im suspecting that we are into kelly and whitfield. More first round picks next year would be great to make this a reality

MFC- Stop draggin my heart around!

Music to my ears!

The selectors may have decided that he is a good get now in comparison to next years crop. We may be loading up on mids and another ruck next year? There seems to be some angst about kids needing time in these posts. Not all the players can play round 1 next year. We need to trust our development! Hard to do, but im more confident in their ability these days!

Could he play like milne? That would be handy!
