If Verrall is out for the year...and I don't see why you would hurry him back for the last few games, does anyone know how that impacts Melbourne's capacity re mid season draft ? 

Doesn't Verrall have a history of hip/pelvis problems?

Didn’t get to watch the game and just saw the scores. Wasn’t expecting that result. Looks like I won’t be watching the replay. 

Need to update with the McVee extension

JB and BT are the worst commentators on any TV station! This is an exciting game. They generate zero excitement. It’s so mundane

And add Daisy to the duo and it’s highly painful to listen to.

Joel Smith has spent more time on an injury list than on a footy field. Gotta feel for him. 

Has there been any part of his body he hasn’t injured?

He's pretty much the Salo role at the moment. Cool, composed and target hitting. 

I would go as far as saying he is doing it better than Salem. Salem wasn't great last year.

I've lived through too many floggings at the hands of WCE so it's time to get some sweet revenge. Don't take the foot off the pedal and give them one all mighty touch up.

WCE won’t have a side next week the way it’s going. 

Wow Jackson has been terrible. 

Results are in, word for word what I said last night. The medical knowledge has paid off.

Seaton has a bit of Luke Tapscott about him

I hope not, Tapscott never did anything for Melbourne.

Don’t worry it looks likes a medial collateral ligament injury. 

I like the idea of a forward line Petty, JVR, Tmac, Weid (2nd ruck), Kozzie, Fritsch, Bedford. I don't have a lot of confidence in Spargo. Can barely kick over 40mts. I'm not fussed if Jackson goes, has dropped off massively this year, and definitely not a forward. Get a midfielder with excellent skills/pace, or 2 of them.

Are they still confident of the double?

In fairness they are from Perth and they believe that double means one.

If Jackson goes let's bank some picks. I don't want Lobb who is 29, inconsistent and injury prone. Grundy is 28 and his best football is probably past him. If we do trade lets get in a 23-27 year old.

There is definitely anti woman thoughts when it comes to AFL and the supporters. They ripped into Kelly Underwood not long ago. I don't see much difference between commentators as long as they commentate properly.

B.T is a clown Brayshaw is a [censored] and Dwayne Russell is the worst commentator going around and Dermie has a fascination with predicting the game and always gets it wrong. The rest are alright.

Talk about horrible commentators Rex Hunt takes the cake. As has already been mentioned you wouldn't know a football game was played under Rex Hunt just stupid nicknames for players you never heard of.

Agree on Dwayne Russell, it feels like I'm being shouted at the whole game. Tries to be funny too which he isn't.

I wouldn't touch Grundy, he will be 29 next year and his form has been average for 2 years. I would rather stock up on draft picks for our next generation of premiership players.

Petracca looked good on Thursday night but I would be interested to know if there’s anything being done about his kicking for goal. His goal drought extended this week and there’s no doubt he’s getting enough looks at the big sticks to say he should be doing better. That one on 3 quarter time in particular he should be nailing every time. In fairness to him he’s not alone, Nibbler and Oliver both missed very straight forward chances in the third. I’m not expecting our team to do what we did in the Grand Final (hell that was one out of the blocks), but it is frustrating seeing very getable chances going to waste. 

EDIT throw BBB into the group wasting opportunities. 

I'm certainly no expert but I would imagine anything technical taught at a young age would be hard to change. Maybe he can make some slight improvements but I doubt they will be wholesale.  I'm trying to improve my tennis backhand and rectify some bad habits from a young age and it's very difficult. 

Fantastic result! Brought the intensity and some players found form. Still think there is room for improvement. The forward line isn't functioning perfectly and missing some shots at goal still. In saying that if we play like that every week then good luck to the opposition. 

In: May, Weid, Bedford. Out: Gawn, M.Brown, Turner. Need some dash from Bedford. 

A massive round of footy. Obvious to say but beating Brisbane is of critical importance. If we win I believe we can finish top 4, lose and I really don't want to think about it.

If this is true not only will Jackson be one of the highest paid players, but the highest paid backup ruckmen.

Man, hard to imagine in a matter of 3 weeks how the season can flip. Commentary was saying we could go unbeaten all season, now we will be lucky to make the top 8.
