It is amazing to think we just won our first flag in 57 years and thats enough to draw level with recent powerhouses Hawthorn and Richmond...shows what a dominant force we used to be, lets hope those days have returned and this is the beginning....

Wasnt a big fan of picking him up as I couldnt see him ever playing a senior game, but he's fitted in well and seems to be a well liked figure around the club so Ive changed my mind, no harm giving him another season as a backup.

Usually has an impact when he gets a chance in the senior team (which isn’t often), good decision

Time for the top end of Collins St boys to get the brown paper bags loaded up??

Quite a rapid fall from grace he was acting captain for a match in 2020 when Gawn and Viney were injured from memory....just doesn't seem to get involved in the play enough these days, good for a cameo goal or nice pass here and there but spends a lot of the match a non-factor.

Love the way Vanders goes about it but the game has probably gone past him

Not sure about life in general but as a Melbourne supporting fanatic who's been on this emotional roller coaster since I was 4 (now 44) - everything from here in footy is pretty much gravy

You can tell we are going to go from being pitied, to everyone’s second team to absolutely hated in the next few years and that couldn’t be more glorious

Incredible talent you could see it from the first time he ever played he had something special. Not sure I’ve ever seen a 200cm player who can move like he does

I’m glad we smashed them they drive me spare with their inferiority complex us against them whinging….minnow 2 premiership club

Never thought this day would come when we were one of the worst teams of all time but my love for the club never wavered…..incredible day for everyone who’s heart beats true

No late changes…

Praying we get it done….2 weeks of dreams we just have to turn it into reality

Could still be a very solid contributor for us, he's shown he can definitely play at the level just needs consistency....

Beans in ham sauce?

The players need to be on the baked beans only diet "Shane Warne in India" style just to be safe, until after the GF!

GULP, as if we werent all nervous enough already

It’s going to be a brutal contest that for sure. A war to decide the premiership

Apparently they will as the clock has been reset when they went to Brisbane

I think the Dogs would give us more trouble than Port in the GF, that being said our boys shouldn’t fear either side

I felt Ive done well all week not really thinking about it but woke up like an electric shock went through me at 4AM thinking my God, Melbourne are playing in a Preliminary Final tonight....

I'd play Hunt, his pace would be a real weapon on the fast deck of Optus Stadium, Geelong are looking a bit slow too should be an advantage

Anything other than the premiership will be shattering from this point

Won’t be able to sleep tonight just a perfect performance

I agree, the stats don't paint a picture at all of the value he is to the side
