In Harmes Way

It’s all good for this sort of talk when all our list are healthy Give one of our mids away that haven’t even hit their peak yet and listen to the noise when we have an injury or two....got no depth blah blah blah, stupid trade Just look at the Jesse Hogan thread for evidence - and he wanted to leave, so we had to do the best deal possible on that basis

I’d like to see the inside mids practice winning centre clearances. Given Gawn wins 3 out of 4 taps, you’d think we should be able to improve in this area while they’re all spending each and every day together.

Maybe the OP reckons we’re better off with Barry Prendergast? Taylor has done a great job. Jog on.

Maybe they should change Jackson's nickname to Samson As soon as his hair was cut off, we turned to [censored]. Much like his haircut (not a fan....)

Delighted Sparrow is being given a run. Give em heaps Tom. Also really keen to see how the combination of Weid, Jackson and TMac work together. I'm glad we've got Goody back making daring selection decisions (that involve more than 1 tall KPF).

Maybe the club is trying to make the Gabba feel more like home with having nobody come to watch.

This one would be burned on your brain @Redleg?

Thought the boys played an excellent last quarter and nearly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Three goals down at 3 qtr time, we looked top 4?in the last quarter and will give the guys a lot of belief going forward. Agree with others re a bit of polish overall and umpiring which is destroying the game overall.

Somebody will need to teach me the rules of this game because I don’t understand half the free kicks that are, and aren’t, paid. some consistency in what is a 15m kick would be nice too.

Agreed Dee They should have been called the Essenmond Demons

We might have to put our hand up to relocate.

I'm amazed at the amount of travel we've got over the next 4 weeks; given we've also got partners and kids in the QLD "hub". Presuming other clubs in the same boat. I wonder if we are moving our whole team + entourage en masse between locations, or commuting back to QLD between games. For reasons of minimising COVID community transmission, I'd have thought the AFL would be trying to minimise the travel burden (or maybe they have overall, and it's us that copped the short end of the stick?)

Very funny entertaining man, even has some of Kossi's footwork.

I agree Adam, however OMac didn't take an eye catching hanger in the third. OMac's only blight for mine was the punch in the goal square in the last qtr which he should have put through for a behind but punched it to the top of the goal square and Morris kicked a snag. Apart from that, Oscar played a ripper (again).

Was it there (Harley's)? I didn't see anything that raised my eyebrows at all.....

Burgo just said on the Injury report that the quarantine guys are in the Gold Coast, training with Matt Egan. Joining the main team next week.

If you're bringing in TMac for Jackson, what part of Jackson's game on Sunday do you point to in order to give him an understanding on why he's being dropped?

Agreed OD, but his pass to Weideman in the third quarter was a ripper; wasn't it?

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.

Couldn't have said it better myself dazzlekossie36

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.
