Dees will win tomorrow. I'm not one to bag any Melbourne player but Fullerton didn't excite me last week against Coburg. If he was winning the ruck today, Collingwood got nothing tomorrow, not even Mason Cox to throw his knees and elbows around erratically causing maximum damage and somehow avoiding suspension. Max will drag us over the line take it to the bank

I actually prefer that to switch and turn it over

Hopefully we drafted him for this game

Goodwin went hard straight after the game in the press conference

The Melbourne Football Club have been pioneers in football we invented the game, invented the father son rule with Barassi, started the Irish experiment, got the womens game off the ground lead by Daisy who is now a team mascott, changed our name first to an indigenous one on the back of Whelan. I have a feeling we will be the first supporter base to cheer an opposition player rather than boo them when we play the Bulldogs and Darcy goes near it.

We've had a few players step in and surprise ala McVee and Rivers. Adams could be the next. He has a physicality about him. He had someone try and sheppard him right in front of me and chose to run through him rather than around. The bloke was big and would have weighed more than him it was bone crunching. He also took a really nice pack mark and nailed the subsequent kick really quickly. I think he might transition well into AFL. He will play before Jeffo and Jeffo showed a bit.

Besides the fact they don't tell the player or broadcast the pick prior to the draft. Except when Judd's grandmother was going to host him when he came back to Melbourne.

JVR is so far superior in the ruck to Fullerton it's not funny.

I watched Casey for the first time live in years and had read AMW's stats get inflated because he keeps playing on from kickouts. He did get a few cheap kicks but i thought he was clean and showed a bit. Hard to judge how damaging he is off one game when were woeful but he made some good decisions and looks promising. I can see him slotting in at AFL level and fitting in

Although that poster is a troll i was blown away by Gentile today

This. Coburg were playing for each other. Enthusistic and up for a fight. I went to their huddle at 3/4 time because i was over Casey and they were imploring each other to celebrate goals and get around each other in moments that count. Besides Kolt we were a team of individuals with little care for our teamates. I mean that in a team spirit way. AMW and Jeffo showed enough to give hope. Very dissapointing. I'd be more positive if Gentile was on our list. Gave Laurie a footballing lesson.

How did the Gentile not get picked in the mid season draft? May as well be watching Warner out there.

If he stopped throwing his head back, lifting his arms when he gets tackled and sooking to the umpires all the time he would be enjoyable to watch

Anyone sets up a go fund me page to get him a biomechanic, a bottle of red and some flowers and i'm in

I've said it in the game plan thread it's obvious what we are doing doesn't suit us. That doesn't mean it's wrong to trial it and add that play to our game. We will SWITCH back to our proven formula in the run home. No point doing it when our best player has a mangled hand and coming off half a pre-season. Goodwin is our first premiership coach in 50 years he is not stupid. Oliver, Petracca & Viney our greatest midfield ever but none elite kicks. We will play to our strengths when the time comes

I wouldn't have given any Dee a vote

After watching JJ & Harmes the last 2 nights expect Jayden Hunt to have a blinder.

Great to see JJ going from role player to significant role player.

He was being held out of the contest and threw the bloke out of his way. Then at the very next contest he was being held out again farce

True story - my 70 year old aunty who is dye hard geelong and goes every week, has done for decades said exactly the same same thing after the game. Completely out coached. If the media can't see it and my aunty can she should be on tv. Probably tougher than Chris Scott too.

I'd love to see the adelaide boards saying we dodged a bullet to we missed out on Carey

There needs to be a societal shift and no violence towards women should ever be accepted. My thoughts on education may vary from other posters. Generations of kids being educated about toxic masculinity may have cost female lives at Bondi. I might be old school but i would have liked to see more men try and take down a lone perpertrator with a knife singling out women. There were thousands of men in that shopping centre and shops full of artillerary. More should have been done to protect them from men on the scene. I also think the legislation needs to change around violence orders. They should be designed around protecting the vulnerable not the vengeful. This is a bigger issue than most people realise and muddies the waters for magistrates placing protection orders and police enforcing them.

After hearing May's interview after the game where he was talking about adding more strings to our bow i am convinced we are working towards the Bang Bang Bang game plan. Losing straight sets the last 2 years where we went into the finals battered and predictable (but reliable) we are currently playing a game plan where we switch and come in from different angles and move the ball quickly from defence. We are starting to go alright at it but our best players aren't elite kicks. Our team is built for the game plan of contested footy locking it into our forward half and great defence which probably would have worked last year if Melk, Petty or even Disco played. This year we have McAdam to add. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we keep playing our new brand for most of the year and switch back to the Bang Bang Bang style as the finals aproach which suits our elite players but we have a plan b if we hit trouble and need to be a bit more dynamic

Kozzie - 0 loss season Windsor - Jason Taylor special Petty - Wont back down Fritsch - Shane Warne stand

North should be investgated for winning in the last round
