Last time we won a prelim we beat the team who was ageing and on the way down, North. So history can repeat for mine, let's play the cats

All the players are saying it, it's about playing your role. TMac had a role and he played it. Great job Joeboy

Did the job - turned the corner for the home straight. Here we go...

im relaxed, maybe too relaxed

Congrats Nibbler - here is to the next 100

Ill land on 2 weeks

I only fear the bottom 4 sides

Don't jump off, he will be back.

A huge loss although softened so,ewhat as the replacement has been mentored by Burgo. Was always surprised Dees attracted Burgo in the first place

The forward line set up worked well early in the year when the weather was warmer and we were flicking the ball around. In the heavier conditions of wimter a key forward is a must from a structural perspective. Doesn't make it essential in September however

No

Giants would have won if 125,000 Dees fans showed up

Anyone else notice a fair bit of bagging between our players when shots were sprayed. Player has a shot and others arms go up complaining you didn't kick to me

Salem May Fritsch Trac Lever T Mac

Asked someone the same question yesterday. Was surprised how exhausted Melbourne players looked compared to the Giants players. Also little explosive power displayed.

others need to step up - if one injury impacts your season, you never had a season

no change

May and Lever didn't get votes in the Age? LOL

I remember 10 years ago we had all these supposed match winners and no one to win the ball. Didnt work out too well for us then. I think Oliver's skillset is essential from a team balance, however at a price. Hawthorn and Geelong players sacrified $$ for success - im watching with interest

I always enjoy this thread, shows how different we see the game. Hunt was a liability at several times however such is the need for run off half back I fear he will continue to play there although to me he is a forward. Sparrow and Jones both mixed good with bad yesterday so one of those goes out for Viney for mine.

Plenty of love here - symbolised that 2000 team perfectly, was underrated and rarely lost a battle during that year. Unfortunately his knee gave way the very next year. Lever did look great Monday, May has been mint for the past year, however its after these 2 where the headaches start. Though Tomlinson may be a surprise

I watched it, taking it with a grain of salt TBH. He said it, then took a dig at Max directly which seemed unfounded (although others may know more) and then noted that Dees will be better when injured midfielders get back. Standards are hard to judge unless you are at the club

I had to stop playing for this reason - its also amazing when susceptible how easily you can get whiplash and then concussion. Any body contact can do it, henceforth why a lot of players are retiring now - it can be a hit to any part of the upper body

5 games in the seniors should put an end to that. On a serious note though, great news and best of luck to both. Keep going hard!

see yesterday - did we struggle to get the ball out of defence if May didn't predictably boot it 60 metres to Gawn and Jackson
