Chook

lol imagine the hubris of calling the result that keeps your team on top of the ladder "terrible"

Not until we win more clearances.

Melbourne supporters faced with the prospect of a game against Essendon in Geelong:

A case of Asahi, 1 Coles chicken, and a batch of pork spare ribs if it comes to that.

I would've liked one of the leaders from Richmond just go over to young Riewoldt and say "you're better than that mate, that's not what we're about." ?

2018 Melksham and Hogan are the only 2 players from that year I'd take over our current list I reckon.

Called it (sort of).

No wonder we lost to this juggernaut. Crows a sneaky chance for the 8? Mathematically possible?

That's captaincy big boy

2 quick goals and adelaide are less than 4 goals down with a half to play. And with the way they're playing they could get a lot closer than that.

What's wrong with this stadium? The stadium isn't to blame for Adelaide being shocking, and us ruining our chances after flying up on the day.

I don't think I'll ever stop being annoyed that we lost that game against Adelaide. I mean, it may be the last thing I say before I die "I wish we hadn't lost to the bloody croowwssss…" Then I cark it.

I hope Williams stays, and I think he is done with senior coaching. I hope Yze goes, because he deserves a crack at it.

It's crazy watching every other game (even top 4 clashes) going, yeah, we've got both these teams covered no worries.

As an educated football analyst, what is this stat a symptom of @binman?

I'll be very interested to see how the Dogs go this afternoon/evening. If they go back to pantsing the opposition and winning by 10 goals of free flowing hollywood handball, I'll think less of them than if they're challenged and can actually grind out a victory when it's not all going their way.

Harris Andrews took plenty of marks where Wied was in the contest or in the general vicinity.

Oh god someone needs to do a youtube cut up of this.

Jamie Elliot is such a good player. I was hoping so much for him to come to Melbourne. Imagine us with him running around out there in our forward line.

1 Brisbane Winning this game makes us the undisputed champs so far this year. Say no more 2 Richmond The big "this is real" moment 3 Dogs Knocking off the ladder leaders and taking their place 4 Sydney Our closest victory 5 Hawthorn A come from behind win is a come from behind win, and our closest to a smashing at the end 6 Geelong Defeating last year's GF team is great, but it wasn't their best side 7 GWS A good medium win 8 Carlton Got on top against a dangerous side we should beat, and never looked like losing 9 North Woke up after a red eye flight and played a half of footy to get the win 10 Saints Coming back after going 20 points down in the 2nd was the first time I thought "OK, there's something different here", but it turns out the Saints suck so that takes a bit out of it 11 Freo A win is a win is a win 12 Adelaide A loss is a loss is a loss. We're still on track for the best statistical season ever if this is our only loss though, so there's that.30

OUT: Wiedeman, Melksham IN: Brown, Langdon I would be perfectly OK with no change to our forward line too by the way. Langdon's the only certainty and no way we drop Sparrow. Hunt might be injured, so I could see that being the change.

Doesn’t rate or even mention Tom McDonald. Clearly don’t know football.

I rewatched the game last night and Sam was much better than I remembered. I think his key issues are lack of intensity and putting too much pressure on himself to perform. The two seem paradoxical, but they’re not. When he attacks everything and everyone with more ferocity he will stop thinking about himself and how well he “has to” perform. Once he does that, he’ll perform.
