Loving Rivers' work

Some [censored] figured a dark navy and red guernsey would be mistaken for a mission-blue dogs guernsey with a few flecks of red and white. Crazy.

Great work Spargo.

MFCSS: our best start to a season since The Beatles were a novelty and now the fixture is teetering on the brink.

Weed --> Colingwood; In: BBB Salem or failing that Lockart for Jetta Viney in if available (prob not) for someone.

Feel like that's been a few weeks in the making. Our pressure and sharpness has waned since the Richmond game. Hoping the team regroups and brings it next week or we'll undo a lot of the good work done to date. Salem out was a huge loss. Jetta in didn't really work. Too many players quiet. Oh for a Viney return!!! Must say I wouldn't mind seeing BBB in the fwd line next week for some tall presence. Did melksham return after foot issue with about 7 mins to go? On a positive note we can and often do play a lot better than tonight. Adelaide rode the crowd and biased umpiring with fearlessness.

[censored] disgrace

How is that not deliberate?????????

Come on dees!

Oliver you absolute superstar! Goals the last step the top echelon.

Langers you beauty!

Absurd. He was tackling from the side for f's sake!

What a clanger Petty we were lucky to get away with that

[censored] just letting the crowd do the umpiring. What an [censored].

The vision was appalling. Lynch is an absolute dog. They also had footage that other incident when he casually whacked a player that was prostrate on the ground in the back of the head, without even blinking. Deliberate acts felling a defender during a centre bounce puts the forwards in a huge advantage if they win a centre clearance. Hate to be clichéd, but it is far outside the spirit of the game.

Great interview Kiran and Nita. For those who haven't heard it yet, I was moved by a story Kate Roffey related where Laurie (I think) had copped an injury, and given that she recalled Trac had a knee reco and had thus related through his first year, she suggested that he seek him out for a chat - he responded that Trac had already dropped around to visit him. That just speaks volumes on where we are as a club - culture, maturity, the love they have for each other - and Trac's personal qualities. Brilliant stuff.

We look like we're running in treacle around the centre bounces

Looooooving TMac's marking and set shot kicking!

Umpiring is disgraceful

Fmd great effort to touch the ball on the line and all we hear from brayshaw is how good Eddie betts was

It would be better for all parties if he departed the game silently and completely.

Best news I've heard all week!

Good point re. the Dogs over Port scenario. It's such an unfamiliar feeling as a (1980s onward) Melbourne supporter, this whole top-of-the-ladder caper!

Geez a port win and Dees win will give us a 2 game buffer at the top of the ladder. Fingers crossed we bring the pressure on Sunday.

Thanks, I'll have to check some of those out! The Lystics podcast I have listened to - really insightful deep dives on the state of each club's list and draft prospects, etc.
