Trac is a stupendous talent. Fantastic effort and smarts. Great start to 2nd half!

Salem 21 disposals half way through 2nd quarter. Skills spun from pure silk.

That bump on Oliver has to come under scrutiny. If Dangerfield copped weeks that surely has to too.

Jeez Richmond applied some serious heat - we stood up pretty well in the end

Hoping our fitness can see us going the distance. They really seemed to have a lot at contest after contest that quarter.

Feels a bit like the 200 GF at the moment. Coming up against a tougher, rougher seasoned opponent.

Did that Richmond grub just punch Kozzie in the groin?

Doing a good job of clawing back into this the last few mins.

How late are the Tigers forwards with the arm in the back of a defender's head?

[censored] where is the high tackle on lever ffs

Need to steady here. We can go the distance let's get these nerves out of the way.

Excellent excellent work by spargo.

Jonesey gets to take the coin toss. Nice. 

F$*%&s sake Kayo!!! What am I paying you for???  One of the biggest and most poignant fixtures of the season and I'm watching some Brisbane Carlton [censored] minutes before the game kicks off?????

A fascinating sub-plot tonight for me is how Pickett, Jackson and Rivers perform on the big stage in a big occassion game against the best opposition... 

Go boys, reputations are built on nights like tonight.

Kozzy has seemed to really love playing in front of crowds these early rounds after last year's situation. I reckon we might be in for a treat tonight.

Absolutely chucking it down now. Hopefully won't ruin the spectacle of tonight's game.

Hopefully this is the heavy bit and it clears up in the coming hours.

Hawks supporters are not all that unlike Melbourne supporters (as much as some here may hate to admit it). Very similar demographics, up and about when they're doing well but very quiet otherwise. Tigers supporters have always been nauseating: if not for their hyperventilation when they were crap then for their "GOAT" rhetoric post-flags. Theyll never let anyone live down this four year stretch. And if they win it this year well then god help us all because they may well be the GOAT.

Win 5 flags in 6 years, and 6 flags in 10 years, like we did* then they can frigging talk.

Dees are the only club with 4 players on the leaderboard. Long time since we have seen that...

 

4 players in the top 14. Fantastic stuff.

Would we even have a club to rave about this year if Jones had've chased success during our dark years? Probably, but I shudder to think where we'd be at.

300 games is a huge milestone - particularly for MFC. He's outlasted many titans of the club. Well done and congratulations Chunk (presuming nothing untoward happens on the training track or selection table this week!).

Dogs percentage going to be pretty epic after 5 rounds. Ugh.

Hope Jeremy Howe enjoys our march up the ladder while Collingwood are on the verge of complete collapse.

I saw this on the Brad Hill thread on Bigfooty and just had to post it. 

This is possibly one of the worst individual efforts I have ever seen, and it's a very good example of why the Saints loss to Richmond means nothing in the context of the ANZAC Eve game. No one in a Melbourne jumper is going to do this next week, that's for damn sure.

 

 

How much are they paying him again???  So glad we went for Langdon instead.

when are teams announced ?

Should be Saturday arvo I think?

Kozzy generates a level of excitement when in the vicinity of the ball that I haven't felt since Jackovich. His ability to recover his footing, his creativity, his physics defying movement, finding the goals - scintillating stuff.

Melksham buh-bye. In: Sparrow

May (if inj) out - Petty in.

Jordon looked a tad quiet - if tired maybe rotate him out for Chandler?

Gawn

Lever

Fritsch

Trac

Langdon

Brayshaw

Honourable mentions to f'ing everyone else. Fantastic team effort.
