doc roet

Not a bad position to be in,Goodwiln called petracca a Panther.

Don't know if that's good or bad

I've noticed his interviews have got a little more serious of late,although the larrikin is still there.i,m sure ready to be unleashed.whenever. I recall from somewhere he was asked to tone it down. I'm 188cm,and stood next to him at Casey,huge,fit looking bloke-- I like the way he always has his mouth open when going for taps.Big beard with a hole in it.

Hopefully by next week the heartbreaking pain of being robbed of a hard earned win by lousy umpiring( and I know we have all heard the story before about blaming the umpires) but it was so true yesterday,will subside and be replaced with fury and determination to obliterate Collingwood. Well done boys,I'm sure in every true demons supporters heart we couldn't be more proud of you.

I am just waiting for the time when its not a nail biter, If we play like that next week,albeit for the first Q my fingers might grow back, I'll bet Buckleys shivering in his boots right now

Really proud off the effort today, had we had garlett would be different story.

That miss from vander cost us

freakin umpires gifted this to norf.

really good game

On ya Bushy,you must be as old as me. I followed sth Melbourne because my pa did,and at the age of 11 in 1964 defected. it was going to be Collingwood or Melbourne and because they won the granny chose the Dees. I went to school and also played junior footy with one mr Garry Wilson (Fitzroy)who followed sth melb.and he was [censored] with me. 52 years I have been waiting,waiting,waiting.

Last time we beat north was rd.20 2006. 10 years ago. Its a grand old flag not.

And Roos smirking in the box.

What got me up and about at the start of this year was that our team on paper looks the goods. Hogan with his fine performance last year,Jones with his neck fixed,Viney,Brayshaw,-------the whole team has talent there give or take a few weak links,and our performance in the nab cup.The players list Petracca,Trenners coming back.The first 5 mins of the game against GWS last week was outstanding.Then it all started to fall away and we were lucky to win. Then seeing Essendon get a thrashing 17-19 to 9-6 against gold coast,well, we will definitely roll them next week. Then to come out and perform like yesterday,so deflating.My fear was Joe Danaher doing what he did. Against gold coast,7 kicks,5 marks 1-1 Against us,14 kicks,15 marks,2-4 ,could have been 6 straight again. Over inflated mind set from the beginning Great summary George.

Look on the bright side at least we will have the priority draft to look forward to.

Remember David Parkins veins in the neck when he was clearly going right off in the box. Shots of Roos in the box show him relaxed,a little dismayed,but that's it. A good pay out never hurt anyone,nor would a 5am session at Stkilda beach Want to earn the big bucks? earn it,welcome to the big time Hogan,now get in the water.

Because in times past,coaches would have dragged players off and abused them. Don't know if Goody would do that,but Roo's seems all to forgiving.

He originally signed for 2 years with an option of 3.Wasn't long and the call came for a commitment to the 3.He obliged and the Melbourne faithfull were happy. I think he has brought a lot to the club,but think his time is up He has been great for the club,a father figure if you like,but .we have a great coach in waiting and its time now to let him put his own stamp on the team.

Hi Maple, Thanks,nightmare came true. and I still feel sick.

Bet North have a 100+ point win on there radar now,I hope they [censored] us,then finally I can give up after 50 years of faithfully following this club.

Totally [censored] off

Weiderman in Hogan out

Need a Ronald Dale out there tearing shreds of them

Hogan doesn't try to mark,just recons he's entitled to a free.

Hogan needs a run at Casey just to bring him back to earth.

I hope Hogan decideds to put in for the last quarter again.
