    Exactly. Draft picks are a lottery at the best of times.

    As i just posted on another thread: fun fact, despite all our forward woes, we are back to being the highest-scoring team in the league.

    How Carlton could let him go is beyond me. Third-generation of a unique Carlton family. He brings his heart and soul to playing for that club, and that is what his strength is. I'm not sure he could do that for another club.
  6. It might have to be this. Brown is no longer the answer, particularly under finals pressures.
  7. I do hope we haven't found our full forward just to lose him again 😪😪😪

    Of course i want Geelong to win so second spot is available but, honestly, i absolutely hate them. Has any Geelong player, EVER, accepted that the free paid against him was deserved. I would love to see the dissent rule enforced against them.
  9. That's true. He is quite admirable in that regard.
  10. If he is prepared to do it, i think there is a real role for him as a mentor and (effectively) on-field coach at Casey, as well as continuing his involvement with the women. He is clearly a wonderful person. As i see it, his move to the Dees has been win-win; he got a premiership medal, and he helped us get them.
  11. Im with this. I thought they were fair and largely stayed out of it. The exception was the centre bouncing which was disastrous and directly cost us a goal in one instance, and before halftime (it changed after the break) they were curiously reluctant to recall the bounce.
  12. He was great today. Anyone who couldn't see it wasn't watching.
  13. Petty should definitely return to the backline.......
  14. Oh, i so agree

    No, we want to finish second, and if we win our games, and Port lose to Adelaide tonight and Geelong at Geelong (on the rebound) next week, then it is very achievable.

    And will be barracking hard for Adelaide tonight. If they can win, and then Port Adelaide go to face Geelong on the rebound, 2nd will be up for grabs.

    All good for us. Now we need to get the job done tomorrow.
  18. I think they needed Hibbo, with a proven track record against Martin

    Barratt being anti- Melbourne AGAIN!!! Can't stand him
  20. The team of 1956, which has a fair argument for being the most dominant team in the history of the game, lost matches. In 1963 the premiers, Geelong, lost to Fitzroy and IIRC it was Fitzroy's only win for the season. Good teams do lose matches. To expect us to win every week, even against poorer sides, is unrealistic and doing so in no way damages our premiership credentials. On the other hand, winning against good sides, e g Collingwood on KB, establishes those credentials.
  21. For sure, on this site it will be - Too conservative playing favourites tired what are the match committee doing? what is Goody doing? (Tick one of the above)
  22. Surely after Sunday he stays!! He is contracted and we should hold him to it and PLAY him! Apart from anything else, in a team where our disposal is iffy, his is a real plus 90% of the time. I love the idea of him, Salo, McVee all distributing out of the backline.
  23. We absolutely need Hibberd to take on Martin. If Petty is ready, in for BBB, as a FORWARD!!!!!

    Are you a Melbourne supporter? I think if there has been another minute e we would have won by over a goal.
