Would you believe $1.20 to $4.50!

Clearly enough to get selected by people who know a s..t load more than you and I bud

For all you naysayers questioning Salem’s selection…..in Round 1 are we “match fit”? So what’s the difference here? Salem is a gun, he has just come off a mini pre season, fresh as a daisy, watch him go!

Absolutely should have been cited for this. It was a bump which caused a serious injury. The MRO is a complete joke. And Jonas has previous form.

I doubt Brown comes if Petty misses. Goodwin said at his presser during the week that he still needs to work on some things, I assume that to be in the VFL. So either TMac or Smith get that role. Personally would like to see Smith in. If Petracca is rested, then JJ is in the 22. The only changes for mine.

Clearly Michael Christian needs to study the laws of the game

Now Brad Green can just point to the scoreboard

Well right about nowHoughton should be showing the Cripps hit on Ah Chee

A dysfunctional forward line doesn’t average almost 110 points per game. I hear Tassie might but be looking for some supporters, maybe you could jump on an early membership package

Yes agree with that. But what was that used to be said many a year ago…good sides win when they don’t play well

No, but it will get us there. Was always going to be a tough game, and I will take any win from that. Again, we almost kicked 100 points, so even though the forward line needs work, we are still scoring. We will get better as the year goes on. No point playing your best footy now. As Goody always says, the season is a marathon, no point going too hard early

No doubt the single best piece of news out of the club this year. Now onward and upward young man

Be lucky if there was 20k here. Pathetic.

Just watch them capitulate in the second half. That number one pick is more important to their overall plans

All of that is just conjecture. The fact is we turned a 25 point deficit into a 25 point lead. Hardly “luck”. The competition is very close. Gold Coast beat Geelong. Hawthorn should have beaten Adelaide, who are currently top 6. Richmond drew with Carlton (are they are a finals team, probably). And as the year goes on, similar results will happen. Any win is a good win. Especially in this competition. So see the positives, not the negatives. The negatives will be addressed come finals time. This Melbourne side is as good as any.

Would be interested to know what aspect of that win you thought was “luck”? If it’s Richmond missing some shots, there is a thing called implied pressure

Wow, 1 goal from a key forward, Geelong got 10 this round!

A big if. And if they do, who is kicking the sausage rolls?

Me too. Really concerned about our forward setup. A couple of weeks ago, Brown and McDonald were our key forwards. Neither could impact VFL today. So what do we have tomorrow night? JVR playing his, what, 4th game. Who else? May, who leads our defence, has looked very ordinary (injured?), Lever not at full fitness, Petty lacking all confidence. And a midfield that turns up when it wants to (Oliver excepted).

Really? Collingwood, Sydney, Geelong? Who would he replace? Played every game in 2021, and is now struggling to be best 23. Yes he would get a regular game with 14 other clubs, which is probably the reason he won’t be with us next year

Great news! Really like it when players commit early in the year, as opposed to this "put talks on hold" rubbish

If I recall, weren't they 8 and 2 after 10 rounds last year?

It just seemed so innocuous. If it’s a concussion, then someone (AFL?) needs to intervene and end his AFL career, for his sake.

Agree. If the MRO hand out bans for that, then they really have lost the plot

Sam Weideman had 3 more years in the system. Please, do you really want to go there?
