Red But Mostly Blue

Wouldn't it be just the most Melbourne thing ever to steam into the finals, and finally win a premiership - only for the game to be played interstate, and us (in Vic at least) not being able to see it in person because of lockdown? Is this the curse changing form? Success but we can't feel it? (the inhale, exhale of a packed MCG is unrivalled). (Obviously I'll take a premiership no matter what haha).

TOP OF THE LADDER, BABY! Field day for Fritter. Great to see better conversion from our forwards. It's a funny reversal of the last game we played against these guys. It's hilarious that our accuracy kept us in this one at the start. We're coming for the minor premiership!

I like it how our accuracy has kept us in this today haha - kind of fitting. I'm nervous as hell, my heart can't take this.

That's fair, I thought it started pretty ordinary, then got good, then ended terribly haha (gifted goal to Kennedy to kick-start them after the break), although I will say that Petty got away with murder at the end haha.

Everything is in our hands now. If we beat the Crows, the game against the Cats will be a play off for the minor premiership. I wouldn't mind losing that to be honest, as it's very possible we'll play them again in the first week of the finals. I'd love to leave something up our sleeve for them when it counts. In saying that, I also don't mind belting them, then belting them again.

As much as I'd love to belt the Crows, and we really should, because it's the right thing to do, I'll take an honest win that doesn't cost us any injuries. It also means we stay on top and the game against the Cats is for the minor premiership!

Super impressed with a lot of things (shows dare, backs himself, thinks about what he's going to do etc), but above all his composure under serious pressure is really something. Very excited for Bowey's future!

We were mucked about the week before, diverted flights, then quarantine, and a lightning delay with some suss AF umpiring... ...Didn't matter! TOP OF THE LADDER, BABY! (Great game Nibbler!)

Oliver. Game won. Phew

Bowey is looking fantastic out there.

Yeo's face is annoying. I'm glad that happened.

What A Load Of Horse ****

It won't happen, I know, but wouldn't it just be an almost fitting end to this game/year for then to run over us now.. Nah won't happen, Dees by 50 Just hoping no injuries!

I thought seeing Eddie's face less would make me dislike him less, but he really just does have that kind of face, I guess. And that's without the mind numbing chatter.

100% - not feeling great about this.

Rotten luck, loss of momentum.

Fritter having mare, should have passed.

I want to do them slowly in this last qtr.

Melksham goes BOOM! Hopefully this settles whether he's in our best 22 for finals. He is.

We're starting to take over here, need to capitalise. Great mark by Melks. Even better goal. I know he doesn't have a lot of fans but Melks doesn't always have lively games but I still think we're better with him. He's worth the odd game he is largely unsighted haha

Jesus balls of steel, Petty

Haha true, but when he delivers geez it's art.

That was FANTASTIC! Big call out to Melksham for that. He doesn't get a lot of it, but he has some of the best footy smarts out there.

ANB has been great, good vision, been in the right places.

There's that TOUGH GUY that everyone wanted from Vanders. What a waste.
