It’s always good to bottom out and go to the draft with a new coach when it’s highly compromised and/or weak. That’s always worked well for us.

It’s magnificent

Just makes the whole thing sweeter

God I love watching Collingwood lose and seeing all the sad ferals in the crowd.

Good come back. Umpiring really cost us in this one.

We’re very close to being great again. Hawthorn, however will be nowhere near it when it matters. Langford to be next captain when max retires in nine years.

With three wins in a row the question must be asked, are Melbourne back to their best? it’s a resounding yes from me. Bring on finals.

I’m much happier being back to having the problem of conversion being why we lose a game rather than last years issues. Conversion is easier to work with. At afl grounds we won’t kick as badly as that. Even for us that was an outlier. Fremantle are a side we have had no idea what to do with for years, so to see us stack up in a much better way is very promising. Lots to work with. A bit of confidence in ball movement, game plan, positioning and kicking will see things start to look pretty good.

I think they have pretty defined roles. Especially within our powerhouse all team defensive structure that has been industry standard for years now. I imagine it depends on the team we are playing and where the game is at and I also imagine each midfielder has a different set of instructions around things of that nature. It seems to me even when we are in all out attack there is a lot of structure and discipline around remaining defensively sound and in correct formation. Defense first has been a team mantra for many years.

You reckon all midfielders just roam free? Free range midfielders?

Of course he can. But taking the best contested footballer of the last however many years and bemoaning the fact he doesn’t kick goals is in my opinion a waste of time. You say he has license to roam. How do you know this? Maybe he has direction to position himself defensively

I’ve never seen a footballer without a deficiency. Strange way to measure a footballer.

Like me, he suffers from resting bored face.

Hehe. Great stuff.
