Chook

Massive if true. His absence makes them a truly ordinary team and was a major reason why we won last year.

No, unless the tackler tackled you. That would be prior opportunity and gawn.

What's your stance on immigration…

Cue the tanking investigation if we did, especially if we went on to win the premiership. I could see the AFL taking a flag off us for such a move.

Last Time we were at the G, we won…and that was with Frost, Spargo, Garlett, and Hannan in the side. That's a much more Richmond-esque amount of pace and it really helped us. As long as we select properly, the MCG won't be a negative for us any longer IMO.

Clearly a week there. Hit him high after the ball was gone.

Spargo's a ripper though isn't he? Didn't play his best game tonight but he always gets around his teammates no matter what.

Clueless (you not Nibbler).

Got there... Redemption(ish) for last week.

Saved by the weather gods and Eddie Betts missing. Not convinced by our defence of a lead this match, even though we will win it in the end. My lord...

Frost you idiot. Just get the ball and kick it a long way away.

This is good practice for us. Better than a 10 goal belting IMO. ...As long as we win.

Fritsch loose man in defence. Barring a fit Lever, I wouldn't ask for anyone more.

OMac follows instructions at least. Can't ask more than doing up the laces when kicking for goal.

Oh my god footy is torture when you have a lead in the final quarter.

It begins. Why wasn't Frost on our goal-line? With this lead and this weather, there must always be someone back to trap bouncing kicks through goal.

But also the present.

They're the present of our club.

Smith has been great. And god is crying at the thought that the same thing could happen to us again.

Cue the untimely blood rule too.

Here we go again…

McGovern put his knees fair in Jesse's back, took a leap at the ball…and took a fresh air-y. Clear free kick.

Tremendous performance Melbourne…but then, I said that at 3-quarter time last week against Geelong. Play this one out, for god's sake.

Carbon copy of last year this game. Destroyed Geelong in the 3rd last week too though, and we all know what happened there. Got to go on with it.

Trac looks fine, and McDonald's kicking is as good as ever. Life is good ATM.
