May also gave Melksham a big hug onfield at the end of the game when the handshakes were happening.

We had two of our best players out too.

We beat Collingwood.

O great we’ve selected a VFL team!

I’m amazed nobody has noticed the turnover king Lachie Hunter. Please leave him out of the side! And that was Harmes’ worst game ever. Kozzie Picket is not contributing to the best of his ability since signing on. He hangs back or overruns the ball or flies for ungettable marks. Tomlinson must be selected on his form on KB. The team and the coach must sit down and watch the last two Collingwood and Port Adelaide performances and learn how the top two sides are kicking goals. Spread out in the forward fifty guys and don’t bomb it in. Ever! It’s the forward fifty mess and poor connection that’s messing us up.

His field kicking not “he’s”.

I disagree with the hysterical commentary in this thread. We lost because we missed several easy shots on goal. The players played hard and well. We missed Clayton Oliver and Harrison Perry. That is all.

Come off it mate we only lost by four points against a top four side at their very partisan home ground.

That’s what it does.

Jack Riewoldt and Hawkins both said on AFL360 tonight that this is the wrong decision.

2.8 Ruckman who grabs the ball from a boundary line throw in or in a ruck contest. If a ruckman elects to grab the ball instead of hitting it and is tackled, then it will be an automatic free kick against that ruckman. He will not be given the benefit of prior opportunity. This happened to Chol tonight and no comment from the umpires or commentators, no free kick. Has the rule changed?

Exactly

Jaded is female.

I don’t agree with high hit bumps. But Kozzie playing tough sends a message. It was a split second action and the doggies player lowered his knees. He also got up straight away so no damage done. it says: I may be small, I may be a MFC player but watch out!

What a great way to go out: as Captain of the Premiership team. A great player, commentator and leader. Well done Daisy!

The praise of Scott and Ducker Selwood on the AFL website, calling Scott a ‘genius’ and Selwood the greatest ever Geelong player is nauseating. So they beat Swans on a day when the Swans didn’t turn up to play and had stage fright in the GF. Whoopee doo!

Yes, agreed and lazy too. Great potential if prepared to go in hard, but he doesn’t. Looks like he’s just coasting.

You can just leave without scanning out. You only need to scan out if you’re planning to return.

Those MCC members who were successful in the ballot then didn’t turn up to the GF will get a rude shock next year. The MCC will not allow you in the GF ballot in 2023. Too bad if MFC are in it!

He’s 28.

So you don’t rate Clayton Oliver?

The only half decent teams we played in the first ten rounds were Richmond and Western Bulldogs, both of whom bowed out quickly in the finals.

How did we lose to a team that we absolutely thrashed twice this year? Backwards kicks, dumb decision-making, hand passing to players about to be tackled, kicking long before looking who we they were kicking to. Stupid 50m penalties X2. Last year our final quarters were unbeatable. The past several weeks our final quarters have been absolutely disastrous. Is the loss of the fitness coach a factor? Some retirement announcements expected in the off season. Reset for a new year. Don’t expect any more premierships in the near future.

Every player was moving freely. Petracca’s kicking for goal was a bit off, but it always is! I’d imagine his kicking with his injured right leg will be a bit off for a couple of weeks at least. Fritsch and Spargo looked absolutely fine, as did Jackson and Ben Brown. I would guess that they’ll play Petracca and take him off at the first sign of sluggishness to be replaced with Van Rooyen who looks ready to go.

Be careful when you sign up to the watch AFL app for one month because they keep on rolling it over until you cancel it and they don’t notify you until after they’ve rolled it over and charged you again for another month’s subscription.
