"Playing in this forward line is very exciting, and I'm looking forward to playing in it for the rest of the year" Maybe it was a throw away comment & I'm reading too much into it but sounds like they've assured him he's the man

Jeelong might pounce with a late first rounder

He would have had 35 & 5 if he didn’t avoid planks, room for growth

Sydney threw Aliir around cause (I think) he has fairly questionable decision making & disposal. But he didn't do anything wrong that I could remember tonight, so no idea why he was moved.

Nah, Weid's poor games you literally can't see the bloke for quarters at a time. Brown will always present.

Do they sacrifice ANB's defence stuff for Melksham's offence upside if he tears Casey to shreds? Maybe, but doubt it.

Brown gonna be bloody good once he builds into things for a few weeks. His touches were all class. Got out marked a few times but we kicked it over his head a bit, too...

Kennedy and Darling still going strong and the eagles are [censored] house

Forwardlines irrelevant - pressure, elite mids and defence win big games, people will switch on soon enough

Don’t say I didn’t tell ya...!

Dee’s by 60, Hogan to kick 4

Far too logical for my liking

See: Saad & Carlton Also keen to see which payer Essendon inevitably pay big bucks to thinking they're one piece short after finishing 11th.

I stress this is only ***speculation*** But rumours are emerging of Petracca being an out due to planking related exhaustion

Yeah, it was a funny game, the commentators pretty much banging on for an entire half on why Maynard wasn't on him before the switch

Quanor did

I'd revise his contract

Perception is everything. If Brown moved as gracefully as a Swan and had the moviestar looks of Josh Kennedy he'd be lauded as a superstar waiting in the reserves. But people have short memories...and kicked 5 goals in the first two games, not sure if Weid kicked 5 in his entire stint in the side? Kennedy is as boring as they come and dare I say it not a defensive beast but doesn't seem to cop any of the criticisms Brown does.

Off to bed mate

Players are on edge in games. No rooms for thanks or apologies in the moment as rough as it sounds.

A compelling argument. I'd prefer the safety of 12th personally.

We should go full 2018 vibes and start Clarry, Gus & Harmes at every CBA

They're the anti-Melbourne, look a million bucks against the obviously inferior sides but can't take a scalp, even lost to Richmond who look cooked. I'd rather drop a couple of bad games against lower sides than get smashed by the other sides in the top 4.....on the provision we can lock away a top 4 spot ofcourse..

Yep...VFL quality backlines don't win flags

Hartlett back in will help Melbourne significantly
