Gee Where has this been?

Im not anti Lever. I just dont think he is playing his best footy. Thats not saying he is not good. Far from it. I was tongue in cheek suggesting we need more from him bacause firstly: we do Secondly: Im pretty sure he can play better. May has often been the last man standing so I am suggesting that Lever can be a prime mover of the two and send us forward with some good intercept marking and some precision kicking. More of which I saw from him at Adelaide. Also not sure if your theory of gathering more possessions is easier in a better team when you are a defender. Your correct in the shorter games however.

Just looked at our goal kicking list for 2018. Its pretty damn good with tmac and hogan kicking around 40 each. Melk...and Hannan chip in with quite a few( much more than this years average) Garlett was handy as was anb believe it or not Fritta and Trac on par. Our forwards just havent been able to kick many this year.

Keeps looking like he will break out but still not certain if he will be a star. Most premier sides have a coleman eligible player. Maybe it will be him or maybe Jackson. The latter has shown better form earlier. Perhaps we should just lure one (although theres not many about). I have no idea why, but I think we will win tonight. Full disclosure: I said that the last 2 games.

Nope. In true Melbourne style we win the next 2 and get pushed out by the doggies.

You could have least asked for my permission to use my pic. Go Dees. Pass the Shiraz please.

Should not teams have the choice if they want adavantage. Why does the umpire assume in cases where a player may not know the free was paid?

Make that look not too bad. I think Ive arrived.

Old age is starting to not look too bad.

You have to hand it to Richmond they are hard at the ball. We could do well having our palyers watch these games so they can learn.

He ran a fair way.

Are the cats too reliant on 3 or 4. Hawkins danger....?

Not a fan of either these feline sides but must say they are both so much more sjilled than us. Starting to think that the tigers have a few arrogant players not that geelong dont.

Agreed. Its not like he hasnt been given chance after chance in several different roles. Uncanny how he was one of the best defenders going around and then magically moved forward where he became Coleman medal like as well as filling ruck duties. Yet here we are with him on the outer and most of us talking about trade. Tough gig this afl business. Hell probably go somewhere and recapture his old form. ? He costs a lot having him on the books.

As if we need x factor.

They have gone Jetta but Lockhart has been dealt with poorly imho.

Not that I can remember. Preuss out is good. Spargo proved he can play but hes not consistent. Welcome back Jetta. Melksham is the new Omac. He could run over everyones dog and still get a game?

I was one of the posters that called for Preuss to be included up frwd a few weeks ago given that tmac was not working. I was told by a few that this was a bad call. Happy when they did choose him so I could bathe in a haughty atttitude. I was wrong. So very wrong.

I would remove melksham fro this list.

Kent having a big impact. Not.

Umps are shocking.

Its why I gave up betting.

Not as skilled as his dad.

Their welcome to have him. Hope he plays some more footy. Probably best as a defender. Just not at Mfc.

I noticed that most of havent been too hard on the umpiring of the dockers game. This is probably due to shock and anger. We feel (rightly )that we would lose any finals regardless. Nonetheless under good umpiring we would have won that game. In wet windy condtions in a low scoring game dodgy free kick differentials have a big impact. I base this on my half baked, double bourban , bald brained theory that 2.567 free kicks are worth 7.543 points. This takes into account the reciprical number of where they were paid added to the number they simply dont multiplied by 1 factorial of 50m penalties. All that aside I really do think the umpiring was atrocious. Sometimes it seems that these blokes just go through a period in their thick heads where they will just penalize a side come what may. That first quarter and half of the 2nd seemed like one such time. Yea yea, all supporters feel jibbed but in this case there were a heap of clangers made by these professionals and the level of consistency was woeful. And yea its the last refuge of the disgruntled supporter but in watching other non Dee's games this year I feel that many of these umps suffer from adhd. Booooooooooo.
