In Harmes Way

Special shout out to Harley B who needs to invest a couple of hours into learning the words to the song https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/745868/team-song-melbourne?videoId=745868&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1595145422001 You'd think having won three games he'd be all over it.

Special mention to the bloke in the crowd who yelled out "Good one Harmesy" when Melksham kicked his goal midway through the third. Thought the crowd was way better than the manufactured noise

I won't lie - I was pacing in the loungeroom watching halfway through that last quarter - only 7 goals up wasn't a sure thing But gees I clapped hard all afternoon. LOVED Weid's leading patterns presenting to the ball. We just used the ball so well inside forward 50, it just was beautiful to watch. Lucky I've got Kayo, I'm going to watch it again. Great team win. No passengers. Thought Frost was one of their best. And I'm ready to adopt Kossie. He's awesome.

You’re a pearl of wisdom today Ethan can you pls write a book The Art of War (AFL based), I’d spend good money on that

As bad as we were last year, we beat them. And we have an almost full list this year to choose from, so I’m more confident than normal. Stick it up them dees, I’ve got some annoying Hawks supporters I really want to give some stick to.

Was sad to see Rivers overlooked again, but I guess with the upcoming glut of games he’ll get another crack soon enough.

If I had to choose between him and his brother distributing the ball from CHB, it's Oscar every day of the week. He has the skills to execute, cool under pressure and rarely gets it wrong. I was happy that all four inclusions on Saturday showed why they should be in the side.

My MFCSS says that Goodwin has selected these ins to show us why he hasn’t been playing them until now. To prove his point. I hope he’s wrong!

It's just as disjointed if you ask me.

I think OMac is a good selection this week - both Sexton and King are strong overhead marks and we need two lockdown defenders and Lever intercepting as much as possible. I'd like to see Viney and Hugh Greenwood go head to head in the guts. Give Clarry a bit of space to roam. Not sure Vanders on a wing is a good match for Weller or Brandon Ellis. As with most, very happy with Weid in the team as a 2nd tall, and can't wait to see both Kossie and Bennell in the same forward line. Congrats to Fritter on his 50th game.

Connection though Saty relies on one player kicking the ball to another player who is able to catch it. I don't think 5-10 handballs until somebody is tackled and we turn it over counts.

This thread feels just like the conversation with my in laws trying to explain the difference between mobile data and Wi Fi

Absoultely Agree with the above. We could have had Ben King with Pick 6 - we already had Weideman with Pick 9. Even their graphics showed we absolutely needed to focus on defence based on 2018 stats - didn't rank in the Top 8 for defensive stats for a team that made a Prelim.

The board should ask for financial assistance from the AFL now if they think the members are going to fork over $700K watching that rubbish then they’re living in fairy land

We do need a good striker

Dazzle, the intra club game was 2 weeks ago

I like that Goody's trying to stabilise a best 22 but agree with others on here we should do this with one more tall in the fwd line. And I'm still waiting (less patiently) for a Bennell/Kossie forward line. It's not too much to ask, is it?

If that's the case, then I'd prefer Oliver kick the ball to him, he then stuffs it up as Oliver expects and the coaches then have a basis to drop/educate him. We need to ingrain good habits with all our players - take the right option quickly and hit up players in space.

He expects finals, but presumably he agreed to Goodwin's contract extension? Oxymoron.

Good summary on Footy Classified. https://www.9now.com.au/footy-classified/2020/episode-32?welcome - you'll need to setup an account. At the 35:20 mark of the show, so you can flick past the ads.

Whilst this is terrible, haven't they also lost some or most of the premiership flags? https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-discover-five-more-premiership-flags-are-missing-after-1948-flag-sale-prompts-search-20140724-zwkyn.html

Just like every breakup HFF - It's not you. It's me. Time to remember how to setup ignore.

It’s not big enough. I want one the players can read from Level 4
