Petty and Bedford did well again for Casey.

Tomlinson had a good game against Freo though so I doubt we will see Petty vs the Saints.  Bedford will with any luck force ANB or Jones out of the team soon.

Dangerfield saying he did nothing wrong and pleading self protection. He’s giving heads up to the tribunal to what their decision must be.

And this maggot is the  president of the AFLPA!  Doesn't even take concussion seriously.

He should put his hand up for once, be a man and take a 6 week holiday.  The head is sacrosanct after all, or so the AFL keep telling us.

Problem is that is the Milkshake of 2018, not the version we got in 2019 and 2020. In 2020, he had only 10 goal assists and 15 goals for the 17 games he played. That is less than 1 goal and around 0.6 goal assists per game. I think we need to do better than that.

Melksham was down last season but he was 1st in the AFL for Goal Assists in both 2018 and 2019.

He comes straight back into them team for mine and anyone writing him off will be in for a surprise.

Gawn in my opinion is soft. there's a reason he gets targeted. he doesn't get angry, he just complains to the umpires.

Great player but too much of a 'good bloke'.

With his size and frame hes the one that should be dishing it out.

Frawley. 

not sure if they picked up any other injuries yesterday. GWS aren’t that good, not much up front. They have lost so much talent and have their own injuries

the Saints will be a much tougher opponent with Crouch and Marshall back especially 

Agreed with all that.   GWS still look good on paper as they still have big names through their midfield but I wouldn't take any of them ahead of Trac and Oliver.

Went to the MelbourneFC website to see if there was a report for this game and the all top stories are about the womens team lol

 You wouldnt even know the AFL season had started or that we had beat Freo less than 48 hours ago

Saints without 7 best 22 players and us just missing 2 is an advantage,

Who are the Saints missing?  Didnt seem to bother them against GWS

The Age has Oliver 8, Andrew Brayshaw 8, Trac 7, TMac 7 Fyfe 7.

do they just look at the stats or something?  
not one vote for May or Lever?  
gotta be kidding....

That is terrible.   Who did the votes?  They are clueless

Hes awesome, but still waiting for him to kick goals like hes capable of doing.

Thats on Goodwin and the coaches though.

Danger should get 4, but will get 3.

I actually want him to play against us though, one of my favorite moments in football was seeing Dangerflog trudge off the MCG with his head down after the 2018 Elimination final.  I can't stand the [censored].

The whole AA selection panel should have been fired.  Didnt even have May in the squad of 40...  so pathetic.  Hes the best backman in  the entire [censored] country.

They had a couple of Tigers in the AA backline whos degree of difficulty playing in that Richmond defense is a 1 compared to about  a 9 for Steven May.

We play our best footy at the Docklands.

So after all that we finish 2nd......I'll guess we take it then....nice :)

We are third on the ladder.    Pop the champagne.

Cockburn hehe

Possible ACL for Rowell,, that sucks.

Suns to knock off West Coast in Perth... what a delicious dessert that would be to top off the round.

Anyone still think we overpaid to get Jake Lever to the club?  

If thats the way hes going to play in the Red and Blue for the rest of his career, I would compensate Adelaide with a future 2nd rounder if allowed.

Interesting game coming up here between our next two opponents.

Jake Kelly has a broken nose and was knocked out cold after being hit by Dangerflog.

I know hes a protected species and the AFL would normally do whatever it took to get him off, but theres no getting out of this one so dont expect to see the poser lining up against us in Round 4.  He will get 3 weeks minimum for that hit.

OMG this is amazing.

And to think they used to be the most arrogant supporter base off the back of their 80s and 90s (and 2000) flags.

Their spirit has well and truly been broken and I bloody love it.

If people cant see the value of Charlie Spargo by now they never will.

Imagine our forward 50 entries if he wasn't in the team.

oh did jackson play well did he? played a pretty average game by most unbiased supporters opinion

198cm 19 year old in his 7th AFL game has quiet first three quarters of season opener

I am glad the Bombers got Dylan Shiel and not us.

Dees win,  Geelong loses to last years wooden spooner, Bombers lose by a point after blowing a 40 point lead

Great day

Swans very very impressive
