Good to see Weed starting to grab those. Go Dees

Yep, our typical pattern in these must win games is to come out with the banana lounges in the first quarter. End up 5 or 6 goals down and then play 3 quarters of competitive footy and lose by 5 or 6 goals. Have we transformed?

Geeez I hope he's fit

According to this, he's just played his first scratch match last Friday. Probably not fit enough yet? Egan’s standouts from Round 11 practice match https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/793732

That was such a soft 50m goal to Dunny. Good to see him back I guess. Free kicks. Pies 11 Crows 4 Haha yes a draw would be awesome.

Clarries body language seems to have really changed since the start of the season. He really was jogging and walking at times and delivering the ball backwards. Both he and Trac just seem to be really enjoying themselves now. It's a real turn around and just a joy to watch. Another unmeasured KPI is watching our key players just grow in confidence and enthusiasm. Really hope it spreads throughout the team. Also, on Kossie Pickett, I reckon one other factor that is so impressive about him is his two way running. He covers a huge amount of ground with both defensive and offensive running. Yes he's going to incredibly exciting but his work rate is pretty bloody good too.

I don't think so because they were absolutely rubbish and biased from the get go in the Crows game. There's no consequence for poor form for those blokes. They were horrible in the first game and then they all get to line up again for the second. (I'm looking at you especially no. 31)

Norf won the free kicks 19 vs 13 while losing by 10 goals. 2 good wins where we've run the game out really well. Can we do it when we're playing the better sides and the pressure is really on? Looking forward to the pies game now.

Time to get Jackson off perhaps.

Yep, might hurt us at end of season.

I just dont understand our continual kicking into the forward pockets. The number of times we've had players leading front and centre 40 out and we'll ignore them and go to the boundary.

Clarry and Trac are a joy to watch at the moment.

Tradition kicks in. Give one straight back

Better Gus!

Steven May trying to milk a free with these blokes? Nice kick Jonesy.

Why did they start with Jackson in the first 5 mins. Norf were two goals up before Tmac went into the centre. May and Tmac were both on the bench towards the end of the quarter. So weird.

oh wow.

Those last two high free kicks when they both ducked into it were just incredible. Resulted in a goal for them. Norf are atrocious we should be destroying them.

How was that a free against Pickett?

Well done Pickett.

These 3 didn't get you hating them last game?

Here goes umpire 31

Oh, they're talking Oliver up before the game. Never a good sign.

They're paying $5 for the flag. Probably easy money if it's a home granny.

Its just bamboozling this season. Rewarding players for standing off and waiting to tackle the player having a crack at the ball. Then pin the ball to them. The amount of times its the tackler(s) who are holding and dragging the ball in and then getting rewarded is sickening. It does nothing to speed the game up.
