I would have broken my fucken TV if the umpires didn't call that free

About 5 steps too far

Umpiring a tad iffy here..

Okay how the [censored] was that ball?

Joel Smith has put on some size..

Acts like that really bring the human aspect back to the game. For a minute there I didn't hate collingwood one bit.

That was a great outfit by bucks

Should be at work today... however I wrecked my back and have been on leave for 2 weeks, now I don't miss any of this game, happy days!

Dont want to sound to over confident here, but I cant see the pies getting within 6 goals of us. All of our senior players speak of the pain of round 23 last year. I cant see us letting up for a second in this game applying relentless pressure all day siren to siren. Our forwards are way too dynamic for their defence and our mids will be harder at it than them I can see us winning contested possession by 25+. I think a lot of players are really looking forward to the big stage & want to make a bit of a statement (if the last 6 weeks hasn't been enough)

Outs lever and t smith both injured Ins j smith and weid If round 23 burns like the players said it did then we should really show up for this one and [censored] crush the pies out of the top 8 and decimate their percentage.

We won today without him?

Fingers crossed for bruising get him back after the bye

Welcome to the list Billy Gowers

Would not trade. If one of our current mids goes down he will be the first cab of the rank. We cant rely on a golden injury run all the time

Yeah... we are [censored] until we win every game by 25 goals.... we are [censored] if we drop one game and we are the same old melbourne. Some people have some bloody short memories.

You win the flag MFC and I'll buy one... deal?

Glad we cleared Watts off the books.

[censored] we got reemed.

Surely there is a conflict of interest in poaching his current clients to his new club.

And im pretty sure they can't trade next year's first either.

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2017/08/23/ralphys-bombshell-trade-predictions/ He also predicts we would be the premiership favourite... BIG call Ralphy

God it would be good to get one back on GWS after $cully

Would love this, Kelly AND Lever, and our list would be complete. However I can't see us having the currency & cap room for both.

I played a few games with Zak in the under 18s at Mount Eliza (I was a year older but he was playing up a grade or two) And his attack on the ball at that age was ferocious... to the point where me 6 foot 2 and 100 kgs didn't want to get in his path and I was on the same team! Made of the right stuff and would slot straight in. Would deffiantly be worth our first round this year... approx pick 10... which ironically is what Nathan was drafted at wasn't it?

I really hope we hold firm on this one... I really would hate to give in. Clearly we either have someone in mind in this years draft or another trade for this years pick lined up.
