    Yes, when Melk went down the flag hopes where gone, they  try and  say, it's our culture is why we went out in  straight sets,  how about having all our forwards either injured, or suspending or coming back from a long term injury 

    ABSOLUTELY!!

    We'd have another flag if Melk and/or Petty didn't get injured. 

    Aside from having those guys injured right before finals, and Fritter clearly not 100% - it would have been incredibly disruptive for the team to have to continue to move magnets/adapt strategies before/during finals. 

    Our forward line is already looking better, even though it's only still settling. Imagine 2-3 months with Petty/McAdam finding rhythm, and then Melk to return in good time to find his feet and form for finals.

    Memory Lane

     

    LOVE THIS ❤️

    I was so happy for the boys - it felt like one of those galvanising games and great to get one back from the Lions after the 2022 final. 

    So many involved, but how good was it for Melk to have his moment? Completely deserved it. Such a quality footballer and seems like a real nice guy, too. Can't wait to have him back.

    Oh and I still love Hipwood trying to claim that final mark!! 🤣

    Really? .

    I can't recall how he went in his second game, but ny recollection is he was terrific in his first game until he had his jaw broken just before half time.

    I think he will be a gun. Smart, quick off the mark, competitive and zones off well.

    And whilst I agree he can play an intercept role now, ultimately i think he will become a key position defender.

    He's 6.5 in the old and given he is only 22 will fill out in the next few years.

    Disco will be a big part of our backline in years to come. Has been crazy unlucky with injury.

    Kozzy bump on Soligo

    in Melbourne Demons

    My gut says Kozzy is likely to cop a week. Not the worst action, and pre-Maynard probably would not have caused much of a stir. But because of Maynard we are in a different space. 

    But wouldn't it be a cruel twist of fate if he gets a week purely because of the rule change that was introduced following the Maynard hit - for which he got no punishment? But Kozzy gets a week? And Soligo played on?

    POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Adelaide

    Was not hoping for nerves in that qtr but we would have been gassed and held them up really well in the end.

    We take 4 points and won both games in Adelaide, with only 5 days break. Can’t imagine that was pencilled in at the start of the year.  Can’t argue with that! How good is McVee? Caleb was impressive.

    Great effort boys - bring on the Lions then a well deserved break.

    Hopefully it’s enough of a lead. I wonder how much we have in the legs so we won’t want to make this hard for ourselves. Let’s try to put this out of reach in the first 5 minutes so we can lock it down a bit.
