I am watching last weeks replay again right now and i must say M Jones and Bail had much better games than i originally gave them credit for. Their forward line pressure was very good and they obviously played the roles they were asked to play by Roos. Not as surprised by the selections upon seeing the game once again on television.

I can't remember whether it was the North or Sydney game but i recall sitting in the then Southern Stand as an 11 year old with the Melbourne chant going around the entire ground. It was spine tingling. We smashed both of them in that finals series.

I was at the game so havent had the luxury of seeing a replay or analysing it. I will have a look as suggested. Regardless, he was under pressure ten out from the oppositions goal line. i imagine there was plenty calling for the ball at the time. Doesnt mean you have to give it. Sometimes a player calling for the ball has no idea if hes under the pump or not. Anyway...ive moved on, well done today Toump.

No...i just chose to touch on Toumpas if thats okay with you. I have never once paid out on him in this forum, but those mistakes today were on the higher end of the spectrum. He played well today...and as stated i want him to make it.

Toumpas disappointed me twice today. The ridiculous panicked handball in the square in the third that cost us...enough said. And going nack with the flight on the wing in the first, he stuck his hand up and did nothing when he should have taken the mark. BUT immediately after he ran about 150 hard metres to end up with a mark and shot on goal. All was forgiven. i hope he kicks on I really do..i want to like him so much.

Another [censored] weak Watts effort cost us the last goal

Just whacked 5 large on us to smash Richmond next week off the back of this thread!

I think we have to put things in perspective. We are playing a side that has comprehensively dismantled North and Collingwood. Both better teams than us.

Haha. Leigh is fast becoming Malcolm Blight Mach 2.

Good point.

While i agree...its very difficult to slap a bloke that came on for 15 minutes only to re-don the green vest and then come on expected to make an impact in the last. I truly hope the bloke makes it i really do....sadly he just seems to need a break out game to gain confidence in the magoos before we see him again.

With the fantastic result and win aside (as hard as that is)...the most pleasing thing for me was our resilience. Holding off the Suns on 3 occasions was a sign that the team is truly moving forward.

We are over the 100 point mark.

Well...KB certainly has his finger on the pulse so i guess we are stuffed. He's a ripper.

[censored] just got real!

There's just something about landing Petracca that is so un-Melbourne like and it utterly excites me. I cant put my finger on it, but he is exactly the type of player we were never meant to have landed. Hes the type that goes to other clubs...surely... Best draft i can remember in such a long time..if ever..as it stands.

They stated in the prelude that upgrades would not be called out.

Who is the next best mid in the draft after Brayshaw?

Looks like 2015 is going to be another ripper year. #fistpump

I could have sworn we received pick 3 for someone who wasn't worth pick 3.

Just under 2 hours.

Whos to say hes not out of the country or similar.

Alex McDonald, player manager....?

WINGard?
