Tried a new outlook today, because watching the Dees - win, lose or draw - just put me a foul mood through resentment of a wasted season (and it is, it just is). A goal of having 9-10 season total wins, or even 8 and a better % - would be considered a good achievement from this point onwards, considering the huge adversity we've faced. I haven't enjoyed a Dees game like that all year tbh. Was good to ride that rollercoaster, despite the loss. I even didn't hate the way we played. We lost? Ah well, the season is [censored] anyway. It's all about what we can achieve from now, not about what we lose.

I think 6 points down is a great result tbh. Dogs spent a lot of tickets that quarter for next to no reward. Come on, we got this

Love to hear this - especially after his effort late in the Carlton game (granted, he would have been cooked)

Happy with that quarter! Thought we played our style, which has been severely lacking this year. Also, just bloody play Gus in the middle. We don't have any decent wing players. So it may as well be someone like Lewis.

Hoges couldn't do that. Well done Weid.

Fritsch has gotta stay wing/forward, he had some ripper kicks inside 50 today (whilst also acknowledging some average ones).

They hold Carlton at bay!

Thanks for the report! I always find it captivating to hear what assistant coaches have to say, especially as one as experience as McCartney. Fantastic insight, and makes me stop guessing what they're doing behind closed doors to a degree

It also annoyed the [censored] out of me when they said Grundy was the starting AA ruckman and Gawn was on the bench Goodness me A) Get your facts right, and B) WATCH THE GAME IN FRONT OF YOU!

At least we were reminded of who the real #1 ruck is

pretty good from Hunt there, actually sensational

Yep, lost patience with Spargo, at this moment at least. Back to Casey, you'll get there mate, just keep at it

Nup, 3.12 in the second half. Got what we deserved. Well done Adelaide.

All turned with that illegal Tim Smith tackle... McGovern got let loose, and our forward entries were repelled. Disappointing.

Josh Mahoney has been a fantastic off field speaker for mine, for quite a while now, just quietly

great to watch that was well done Dees

Gee it's not pleasant viewing. Just want to see our brand executed well ? then I'm sure I'll start enjoying the footy again, win or lose.

Brayshaw inspiring me with confidence. No one else. No one.

I am so very unenthused about the changes ? Thought an out-of-form Weid was better than what OMac was producing. Prove me wrong Oscar.

Ever since the R23 debacle, I made a promise to myself I'll always wait for Melbourne to earn my membership. would have been easy to renew over the summer. Very glad I waited. I know it isn't much - petty even - but it feels satisfying the Dees finally have to earn my money.

Our form IMO is all attributed to mindset. And we have a very poor one.

Disgraceful.

The money is there for him if he earns it... But right now that seems a bit rich.

Your win Jonesy Excellent win Dees!

First "Melbourne" quarter of the year
