At this stage in 2022 the Cats were sitting at 7 wins and 4 losses - the same as our record this year. They went on to never lose a game for the rest of the season. Just how important is it for our season to win at least one of our next two? If we lose to both Carlton and Collingwood we’ll be heading into the Bye with 7 wins and 6 losses. Can our season be salvaged if we drop 4 in a row?

Sidebottom massive out for them. All being well they cop a few more injuries against the Eagles. Agree with you Jaded. Soft kills of North and Eagles not great prep for the Pies. Just hope we have Oliver back for the KB game and we rise to the occasion. Anything can happen. I’m just worried that if we lose to the Blues we go 7-5 and then a loss to the Pies is 7-6. Top 4 let alone top 8 looking dicey from 7-6 at the Bye.

and Vs Pies in the GF I hope binman…

Comforting at least to feel back like a normal Melbourne supporter again now that we’re just making up the numbers again.

TMac must never play again. If this club wants to give our forward line something then let Schache play [censored]!

Absolutely [censored] performance. Our window is looking closed. Thank god for 2021. This club is a long way off from ever competing for a flag again.

Haven’t seen anyone get beaten this badly at home since Johnny Depp.

Owed us one but Frittas goal

Do not look on today. Still a half to play for.

Harmes brain fade

Just typical

Unsurprising still being shafted by the umpires

I pinched a nerve in my neck and my Dad has the flu. We’re not all fair weather supporters - sometimes there are a lot of reasons why people don’t turn up. Playing an interstate team at the G will rarely draw a big crowd.

Feel great that Walters is out. One less variable to worry about.

Did I boo Cripps after he got off on appeal last year? Yes. Did I boo Tom Scully for selling us out? Yes. Would I boo Jacko? No chance.

Shame his last game can’t be at Docklands.

Sounds like he’s been carrying something or the same issue that caused him to miss the first few rounds. He’s nowhere near at his best and we desperately need him to be. Fingers crossed he’s ok 👍🏻

Still fuming about how we got cooked last night.

The physicality of the game and the conditions in which it was played made the loss of Tom Sparrow through suspension all the more significant. While the loss of one player likely makes no difference to a result, to what extent would Sparrow have helped us in the clearance contest, around stoppage and giving our mids a rest through rotation during the game.

We are making up the numbers this year. We aren’t anywhere near good enough for a flag. Pathetic effort to play for 10mins of one quarter - we got what we deserved even with the shafting by the umpires.

Umpires are killing this game.

I’m sick of hearing of how good our midfield is when we consistently get beaten in clearances every week.
