Gold Coast’s goal kicking worse than ours. They should be four or five goals in front.

Yes true, which just makes it even more interesting how any footy frenzy will work this year.

It’s going to be very interesting how this season unfolds in a scheduling scenario. Talks of another footy frenzy to potentially cut the need for hubs, does that mean game time gets cut back again and will we potentially have a stop start season to keep players happy. Anyway good luck to the AFL dealing with all the government’s and players to make it work, it’s not going to be easy.

It really is a strange feeling winning so often yet on reflection of so many games thinking we really haven’t played that well. I guess that’s what good teams with good defensive structures do, I really hope we can sort our forward line cohesion though. Another challenge next week and it’s hard to see that being anything but a grind also.

I still wouldn’t pick him, not the type of player who can come into a team without match practice for me.

No they didn’t their all like this.

Well I must be in the minority I don’t think Ben Brown would have made the slightest bit of difference so far.

I despise almost everything Essendon but it was pretty cool seeing that young Essendon supporter toss the coin.

Happy to win by whatever but seriously would love to smash them.

What a super game of footy. Hope the Swans get up.

Surely not even St Kilda can lose it from here.

Don’t necessarily like or dislike his commentary but his voice for some reason grates on me.

Well personally I would say Jason Bennett’s and Kelly Underwoods are far more annoying.

Looks to me the AFL have found a way to make a Tasmanian team work. Relocate Essendon ?.

GWS 41 tackles to Carltons 16 and are four goals in front.

Out of these three guns who would you want kicking a set shot to win a game. Oliver, Fyffe or Dangerfield?

Lying is the second language of the AFL and player managers lie and talk as much spin as politicians. Lots of players change clubs at the end of every year with speculation about most of them half way through the year and it’s very rare a player manager ever says anything other than there fully committed to the club. Hope the club is into him big time.

Both as bad as each other for me. Yesterday’s loss and having the bye this week is really annoying me though.

No. Just when I started to think about trusting them the old school Melbourne mental weakness shines through again. While today’s loss may not end up being the end of the world, a win today while it would have only been against a bottom four team it would have been so much more. I am stoked with where we are at but still a long way to go for me to trust the team.

Great post AF, the only thing I would argue is that I don’t think Ben Brown would be adding much more than Weideman the way the ball is coming into the forward line. I think we might be better playing without both of them, particularly on small grounds like the SCG.

That was putrid, and people still wonder why we don’t all trust this team still.

Anyone else concerned about our forward line on the SCG? Hoping to see Oliver, Harmes and Petracca kick a few between them.

It should be in the AFL TV rights deal that no game in Cairns or Darwin are shown in prime time slots, possibly not shown at all.

No not really, I actually think it’s great that the slight easing of restrictions is making some people feel better.

I wish I was as upbeat as you.
