Chook

More than that, we've learned through many MCG losses this year that you cannot field a slow list on the MCG.

This is the week the footy world discovers that Frost…actually not that bad at footy.

Hope you haven't bought a ticket to Sydney.

Everyone's talking about worst-case scenarios, making the eight, top four, even getting to second…but I'll go you one better. For your consideration, I humbly present… The Dream Ladder (Melbourne wins every game, and every underdog wins)

(MFC's marketing department can thank me later)

I wasn't there, but multiple people have said it was frickin' windy last week vs GC at the G. I think that accounts for it. Tom McDonald kicks the ball straight, but not smart. He's not one to count on fickle breezes or anything like that. He kicks the ball low and hard to a general area, and then hopes there's no breeze basically.

Overkill IMO. Just pick a method of death and go with it.

He's the only logical choice. Oscar on Franklin would be a sack-worthy misstep from Goodwin given what we saw in the last quarter against Geelong. Goodwin knows as well as we do by now that you put Frost on the opposition's physical freaks, not Oscar bloody-McSizzle.

Frost should have played 22 games for us this year. He's a criminally underrated footballer, and is particularly good for us given our weaknesses. Not because of his footballing skills mind you but because of his athleticism. When he plays his role as a lockdown player, he's great for us and is exactly what we need with our high pressing backline. Should always be our last man back, as Garlett should always be our deepest forward.

If you freeze-frame, you can see Tom Scully getting spewed on again…

If I recall, we were playing that night for the record of most games won (4) in 16 days or something ridiculous like that. Not to mention it was our first Friday night game in eons. Not to mention the Swans were flying. Not to mention Tomas Bugg. Our season came to a screeching halt that night and honestly we did well to get as close to finals as we did.

FOOTY FANS: "The fixture is compromised. The top 8 doesn't represent teams fairly." ALSO FOOTY FANS: "Team X hasn't beat a team in the 8 yet! They obviously suck."

GWS getting injury reports by the hour. Meanwhile I'm on 24/7 Josh (WCE) Kennedy-watch. (Please be injured, please be injured, please be injured).

My lord Trac seems like an annoying bloke.

"And perhaps most strangely of all, the humans dress their house animals up in peculiar oblong fabrics in some sort of protestation to their chosen muscular god-figures, whom they worship every 7 rotations around the sun (but whom they may also occasionally sacrifice in anger when displeased by mysterious and unknown events that take place on days of worship)." —Prof. Maximus Ogloxniak Gawn (No relation)

Too bad he can't kick.

Just did a ladder, so it's official: Win 0 and we're 11th Win 1 and we're 7th Win 2 and we're 4th Win 3 and we're 2nd …massive stakes with every win.

So what you're telling me is that this is pretty much the best Melbourne team of all time?

Pathetic.

What are you talking about? You want to go pick up Barry Hall as well?

I don't want that f log anywhere near my footy club.

Anyone who wants Gaff at Melbourne next to Gus Brayshaw needs to think again.

Demons suck never gonna make it oohhh boo hiss.

Nah drop him.

Hogan coming into some form. Find a negative in that Dees fans...
