Previously known as LITD.

Our win at the cattery last year was a badge of honor and a great effort. I do wonder if there was a crowd things might not have gone our way. Which brings me to the real reason for this post. Why do we play in Geelong every single year while the pies never do? I know we have the cats measure but the reality is, playing down there is akin to an interstate game and I'm curious why its always us.

And Bowey running all the way to the middle to intercept and then he boots a goal.

I can't believe I was supporting Hawthorn.

Loved his intercept mark then long kick for a goal against gws.

Tmac is still one of my faves but the old wing argument doesn't hold. He would need to strap on a jet pack. He also has the turning circle of my old front wheel drive Magna. God love him. Hope he stays in though.

My reasoning was that he and Weid had similar games, so experience and most proven success leaves Tmac in. Plus Tmac is stronger and a very accurate shot on goal. I think BBB in is a must.and sw out.

Weid has improved and Tmac has been in a long slump. But Tmac was a huge part of our wins first half of our flag year so he stays. Its runs on the board to a yet established player. Sw goes out for BBb

Yep Trac, Oliver, Viney and Sparrow are a dangerous combination.

Pretty sure your on the money here. Tmac did a little more and has more experience and proven ability. It was good to see Sam improve a little and his presence will hopefully pressure Tmac to loft more. But BBB has to come in. So Sw has to go.

Thanks LH the problem with just the one penalty (I know they can double up) but its a one size sentence for all infractions. A few different penalties ie 20...40...60....would allow for a little creativity and fairness and possible make the game more interesting and less devastating on the scoreboard for players throwing their arms up. I wonder how these umpires manage peak hour traffic abuse or dealing with call centres.

Maggots have become a protected species. Ill probably be visited by a posse of them soon for this post.

Umpires dont deserved to be abused. (well some of them). Worst case scenario try having a 25 m penalty as well. Big difference to a player being flattened off the ball and a player throwing up his arms in frustration over a bad call.

A lot of it sounds like us five years ago.

Always find a player with his kicks and makes it easy for them.

Another Trac in the making. Was great to see Viney in fine form too.

Third.

Interesting.... Melbourne had a remarkable 10 individual goal scorers in the third term - becoming just the third club to achieve the feat in the past 20 years.

No brainer. Bbb is our best fwd. Sorry Sam it was close.

Yep. Great team effort.

KEEP STACKING THEM UP DEES>

Why cant we have five quarters. Stupid math.

Finally a game worthy of watching again via replay.

Its Tmac by a nose over Weid for me thus far.
