Hey Rowell, you just got Kolt-locked. Umpires couldn’t help you out today champion.

How about disco keeping Ben king goalless in the second half, what a return! 🕺🪩

Gawn, Pickett, Steele and sparrow had a combined 28 tackles. The epitome of leaders leading from the front! 🔴🔵

That was a very loud very enthusiastic Melbourne crowd, well done to all who were there. We were right behind the boys and I reckon they got a lift from us!

Royal commission into the umpires bank accounts. Hardwick sent them a couple of grand each before the game I reckon.

A Melbourne fan must have beaten him up and stole his lunch money as a kid, it’s the only logical explanation, he always kills us.

Umpire 22 is the saddest excuse for an umpire I’ve ever seen. What a disgraceful man.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy at this point.

Shockingly over officiated game. 40 total free kicks with 2 minutes left in the third quarter.

Was also interesting to hear when he was talking about the casual clothes, that for the past couple of years something like that would have leaked to the media early in the week but this year it was kept quiet. Sort of crazy that even the players were aware of how much we were leaking. Is it now safe to assume the leak is either no longer at the club or has finally been silenced?

Looking back at the highlights, i absolutely loved the response to paddy's first goal. The genuine excitement and happiness on everyone's face as they got to him couldn't have been more indicative of Kingy's imperative to above all else have fun. Given the stage of the game and the close margin, celebrating a first goal might get lost a little. Yet all the boys were there and genuinely pumped to see paddy's first goal sail through. Felt like they knew they had a job to do, but weren't going to stop having fun on the way to finishing that job.

I had lost the faith at half time in the game day thread and was rightfully called out. Putting my hand up to say I’ve never been happier to be proved wrong. This truly is a new era!

Sparrow. 29 touches, 7 tackles and a goal. nuff said. 🔵🔴

Gonna have to do it against the umps in the last it seems

Play like this and I’m certain we’ll hand Essendon their first win. Goodwin broke these players, never seen a group more in their heads than ours.
