How on earth do the bookies have us as favourites? Bizarre.

If I was Stephenson I would back Freo.

Sam Edmund reporting on SEN that Jake Lever is actually suffering from knee soreness not foot soreness.

Probably ACL again.

Injury prone player who now has an injured foot.

We can pick them. 

Clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed!

Viney and Brayshaw as a package for 2 first round picks. 

Number 1 pick.

Is he our most important missing player?

He contests

He wins one on ones 

He kicks goals 

He takes responsibility

I really think he is the key to forward line connectivity. We are much poorer with out him

Seems to be the only player that knows how to kick. To his teammate I should add. 

Same issues ever week. Shocking F50 entries. Forward entries aren’t even to a 50/50. Would hate to be a forward for Melbourne.

I reckon a massive game looms for Petracca. Has been good for the last 6 weeks and if it were not for some poor finishing would have some big hauls. I can see him kicking 4-5 goals with some dominant stints on ball. He will relish the big crowd at the G. 

Yeah his poor kicking could have turned average games into very good games.

I am sure Buckley will be worried at breakfast. Oliver plays or Billy does. He would have planned for both.

Haha. No planning required for stretch. Let him have the ball and turn it over.

Or what?

Or I’ll be wrong. 

I’m calling it now.... Omac has played his last game for MFC.

Surely next the next round will be a different story.

Is Mason Cox available to play? Are we the only team who makes him look good?

If he does we need a gorilla minder ie not Oscar!!!!!!

Yep he will come in and play one of his few good games for the year. Last year he was plucking goals out of his rump.

A lot's been said about our terrible inaccuracy this year and it's directly cost us games v's West Coast and Adelaide.

But what about our opposition's incredible accuracy this year:

Geelong 20.6

Essendon 20.10

St Kilda 15.5

Hawthorn 11.8

GC 9.6

WC 13.7

GWS 14.10

Adelaide 14.6

We have currently conceded an aggregate total of 150.98 which is an accuracy of 61%, a full 2 per cent ahead of St Kilda and a whopping 16 per cent ahead of Adelaide, the team that incidentally benefited from our gross inaccuracy on the weekend.

If this kind of accuracy continues, we are on pace to concede 301.196 which is a 60.6% conversion - which would be the most accurate against/conceded score in a season since 2000 (I didn't research any earlier). Brisbane hold the highest opposition accuracy of 59% in 2017.

Is this a coincidence or there something in our game plan or lack of execution of it, that is allowing us to concede such accurate scores? Will Lever and May assist in our opposition kicking less accurately?

Will the data correct itself and we can enjoy more sides kicking inaccurately against us, and hence win some more games on the run home. 

The opposition's accuracy cost us wins over West Coast and Adelaide. We had equal scoring shots to St Kilda (15.5.95) in a 40 point loss and Hawthorn and GC were in the game in the last minute due to their accuracy.

I wonder if it’s because they are getting easy shots at goal eg. Inside 20mts.

He has a bit of dash and his kicking is good. I mean what more can you ask for as a Melbourne supporter?

Agree. Exactly what we’ve been craving. Another 2-3 players like him would be nice. 

With his height you need to have weapons, either elite skills, pace or great hands. I don’t see any of those with Spargo which puts his future role in jeopardy.

The only positive was Gawn’s Supercoach score.
