Salary cap breaching club??? WTF are they on?? Last time I checked they were the team that went and paid 1m a season to Tom Boyd whiles retaining their entire list. If anyone's cap should be questioned it should be Hawthorns, can't see how we are close to breaching.

The trading of Jack Watts for a lowish return seems like a distant memory given the way Bailey has slotted in. Would Wattsy get a game in the same side as Bailey? On current form sadly not.

I think Melksham will face a test, he was great but was clearly struggling with that ankle. Smith wasn't the same after that knock, and did seem a bit proppy late in the game (cramps?) Outs: Melksham (inj), Lever (inj), In: Balic, Hunt Collingwood have a few jets, having Hunt in might not hurt. If Melksham can't get up, Balic might fit that role.

Lever - will be missed Didn't see myself saying this after rounds 1-4, but here we are pondering the rest of 2018 without Jake the Snake. There is now a big hole back there, and Tmac is worth more forward.

Good luck to young Hayden. There is still a little romance for second generation footballers playing at their dads club, even if they didn't crack the tonne for father son.

He is that good 1/1 that you never worry about him getting beaten by his opponent. He was bog for me today. Huge fan of his game, reminds me of some of the gutsy small backs who were hard to beat from the neitz days like brown dog and wheels. Those two were just so good, I think Nev might even be the better than those two.

2 down, everyone not named Jetta needs to lift.

Let's be honest, the AFL will have its own channel and service soon enough. I imagine that catalogued games will form some of the appeal for the AFL having their own service/channel. Still it's a shame, I would love to buy a digital demons library to show my kids when they are old enough to appreciate it.

Don't forget the ORIGINAL VFL killer and J J Liston winner Ezra Poyas! Played a whole zero games for us in 2003!

We need to get up for him, it could be the last major milestone game he plays (hoping he makes 300 but it's a hard task in modern footy) His 200th was a 50 point mauling at the hands of freo and he did his ankle. It's only right he gets to enjoy this with a win.

I'm not going to win many friends with my thoughts, but I think Jordan Lewis has been huge over the past few weeks. His calmness, leadership and decision making has helped control ball movement from the back half and really helped settled the back 6. He has also publicly stick up for Lever, and I'm sure he has been instrumental in settling Jake down back.

37 touches and 3 goals is elite. People aren't talking about him enough. His game was off the charts. If Dusty had a 37 touch 3 goal game there would be a page dedicated to him on the AFL website. So excited to see him play great footy.

I still own this on DVD.... just need buy a DVD player.

Couldn't think of a more deserving MFC player. Gave everything he had for no flags. Champion of this great club.

Why pay attention to the Media? If you want to know how the Dee's are tracking then demonland has you covered.

Goody might do a shorter main training session this week to get ready for dogs. I think Spargo might be an option for a rest but he deserves to play against the dogs.

ADZMAN - I am speechless What a win!

Skills free football. They were f'ing awful. They should be ashamed of that effort

I really like this signing. Coming from a professional sporting background is a huge advantage in terms of commitment and preparation. Should be able to take to the AFL system like a duck to water. If he has the goods he could be big max's replacement.

This games narrative is all about 3rd v 4th. I'm glad Lever v the crows is getting some airtime but the real story is us needing to beat the crows so we can be taken seriously. Hope Lever has a blinder.

At the start of the season he was best 22 by a small margin. His work and form has seen him cement his spot. He isn't first in line to be dropped if we have a loss due to his tireless work and effort. Players like Harmes win you premierships.

All good mate, I was a bit perplexed first up. The last thing I want is to annoy my fellow supporters.

That Collingwood would look to replace a young tall with a young tall. Plenty of chatter from Collingwood fans about it. Not sure you will get anything concrete at this stage of the year.

Jake knows where the goals are, and is a challenge to match up on given he is good body on body and has a good tank. Really starting to build some good form.

Brendon Bolton - won't sleep tonight His team got picked apart at the seams. Great performance from the Dee's, insipid performance by Carlton players.
