Draft a key forward would be the play

Just want to give a few thoughts now that i've recovered emotionally. Jack Viney was the underrated key in the midfield, did everything he could to will the ball forward all night. Tom Sparrow did the shutdown role on Daniel after halftime. Rivers and Hibberd were magnificent. I said Lever and Salem will need to have the games of their lives, but the way the match ups worked out we really needed Hibberd and Rivers to win their battles and they did. Angus Brayshaw, what a 3rd quarter. His crunching spoil on Schache got a very loud cheer from everyone around me.

I was in the cheer squad and there was a lady in the front row in her breast cancer melbourne guernsey after Bont had kicked his 3rd that turned around and said the next goal we get go absolutely mad and don't stop. Fritsch kicks a set shot that seems uneventful comparatively to what happens next, but if you were in our end we didn't stop chanting melbourne until basically 3qtr time because the boys lifted of the noise. May even smiled when he was walking back after one of the goals because we didn't shut up for 7-8 minutes by that point.

Voice gone, back sore, emotionally exhausted, love you all. Go dees.

T-minus 90 minutes. Thank you M_9

Hunt Chandler Jordan Melksham with main group. Spargs and May both running fine

In attendance with 15% phone battery, I will say a majority of fans are demons and the rest are teenage girls who love Bailey Smith

Genius, as a fan I've got a 100% winning record at optus. 3 from 3. Let's hope it is 4 from 4.

At grand old Optus today for open training, we out number the dogs fans 3 to 1. Still an hour before the boys run out

I like to think the rousing cheers he got when he and the boys did their post match laps at Optus infront of the demon army who were going mad applauding anyone in red and blue that moved changed his mind to stay.

Cal and Barrett both reported that Melbourne said they think he will train in the next session.

Bailey Laurie debut hero?

Positive news, all the players were out there. Still the club would not leak anything if the players were under the weather because your basically raising the white flag.

God damn it, for whatever reason i thought this was next week. I had planned to go and everything. Although i'm a bit under the weather today so it's probably best i don't show up.

Neal-Bullen has been the unsung hero of the final series. If we win, Jake Lever and Christian Salem will have the biggest game of their lives imo.

Reckon he's taken a slight pay cut?

I'd be more annoyed if the AFL told us to wear the red back shirt over us choosing to wear it. It would be wrong for them to force us to change because a) The AFL let the doggies wear their home shirt full well knowing there is a slight clash. b) Officially announcing both teams would wear their traditional garb and c) we are the home team, doggies can wear white.

Why? they win on points, which is what they need

Anyone reckons we are a chance to get 38 from North for Weid? Then we bundle 33, 38, 54 for Doggies first rounder? Dogs want the points, we want to be top 20 for any trades / mac andrew

We don't really need him, he would be icing on the cake in the same way that Maynard would be icing on the cake. We may need a key forward though.

Bailey Laurie in the middle or do you reckon we target someone else? I feel like if we don't get Cerra we will just reset our draft hand, maybe try secure some future picks off other clubs to give us more bargaining power next year. We really don't need anything and have some reasonable players tied to the club we can nab for lower picks that can take the rookie spots. It will be a big show of faith for Sparrow, Jordon, Bowey and Laurie if we do end up cutting a few of the older heads, it means there position is more secure.

In 131, had no troubles with the queue which is odd, i just re-queued for a laugh and there's only 12 people in it? Have these sold like hot cakes or are there just that many seats left?

I didn't want it to be Lyon but i mean Mark Neeld can present it if we win it for all i care. In 2018 and earlier this season i had pictured Barassi and Danniher as a duo doing it. I also pictured winning it in a packed MCG. Lyon is logical choice as he is in WA. I think Gary has shown some humility the last few weeks on fox and is self aware enough to not

Jack Viney might actually murder a doggies player for the win.

Without trying to sound cheesy "The harder the fight, the bigger the prize." Dogs have been as good as us all year until a 3 week blip. This will be our hardest fight. But i'm confident we will knock them down.
