You be the judge......... Does May miss game v Dees http://www.afl.com.au/video/2018-07-28/may-reported-for-this-bump

He hasn't been right since the Bulldogs game 8 weeks ago, something isn't right. Maybe an injury has affected his confidence but he's looking quite ordinary since that game 2 months ago, his decision making and field kicking is usually of good standard. Isn't jumping for the ball or crashing packs like he used to suggests he has a niggle, trouble is when he does he still goes up when TMAC does. I notice that he's back playing for frees again in the last few weeks but if you watch the games he's getting double teamed so it's maybe something Goody needs to clarify with the umpiring department too if he's being blocked or scragged. Anyway the current Jesse is playing poorly, if he needs a rest then freshen him up, scoring isn't our problem. The biggest issue for Jesse is finding a way to play better and score freely v better teams, he bashes up the bottom dwellers with ease. Since the WB game he has booted 11 goals in 7 games and v Coll, Port, Geel, Adel he has kicked a combined 2 goals in total. In the same time, TMAC has snagged 21 in 7 games including 16 v Coll, Port, Geel, Adel. He is lacking confidence since the bye, I'm sure it has to be injury related. He's too good of a player to be this badly out of form.

Yes it's much better Sue.

Sloane had around 10 tackles in the last and his pressure around the contest got them back in it. Harmes did well on his for 3 quarters before moving to Gibbs.

We are the only team that can beat Richmond, the opportunity is there if we want it.

And that's what he should be doing anyway, he's the captain, we should not applaud it and instead demand it every week. He was putrid last night make no mistake, cheap 1m handballs is his thing now and costly turnover kicks. He's either NQR and carrying an injury or the game has quickly caught up with him. To his credit, I did like the way he scrapped in the last and bottled things up. Goodwin playing him as the inside mid in the last was smarter, he can't play the outside game, he's too slow, our midfield however looks so much better with Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca and even Salem when in there.

While he may have been hurt last night and copped a knock v Geelong I'm not sticking up for him, he has been terrible since the Bulldogs game 8 weeks ago, something isn't right.

Didn't they kick 3.7 and a couple OOTF? But yes, their inaccuracy lost them the game.

Who would’ve thought JKH was our third fastest player tonight at 32kmph, behind Spargo and then Smith 2nd! Smith will get better with more games, he did well I thought, he has spirit and desperation, his composure will come with experience

In da zone, rack off young fella

Oliver what a freak, one touch disposals and one handed pick ups in the wet, I don’t think I’ve seen a mid as skilful at Melbourne in my time

Goody showed a lot of emotion tonight for probably the first time. Once frustrated in the box, maybe Garlett fumble then after the siren there were smiles and hugs all round. It meant a lot to him tonight

Bugg or Hannan ? Or AVB?

Had a great 3rd quarter

Something wrong with Jones too

I’d give 1 to Milera

Enjoy the win mate, save it for tomorrow, we do have a few issues but our season is back on track for now

Tom McDonald ran a team high 15.3km, what a running machine

May in doubt, Swallow too? May Swallow? Sorry, couldn’t help myself, too happy

ANB was one of 4 players I paid attention to tonight (usually a differ t group each week), thought he was fantastic and I actually do see his pressure acts, you won’t see them if you don’t watch closely and they won’t show up on the stats sheet but I can see the value in his team first attitude.

Huge circle for the song, did I see Jackson and Bartlett in there too? They don’t normally fly to interstate games so it must of meant a lot to the club and a pep talk last week?

6. Oliver (wowee) 5. Brayshaw 4. ANB 3. Harmes 2. Gawn 1. TMac

Oliver is a match winner, freak in the wet

I love this club. It makes me anxious, frustrated and angry sometimes but wins like that just make your weekend. I’m happy for the club and all of you guys, the supporters. Heart still racing! Big club circle for the song and FMD, Goodwin showed emotion. So happy right now.

Great spoil Smith
