Chook

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.

Those ex-Melbourne players are dangerous...

Love frost. Saved another goal there from Galluci.

JKH showing the haters.

Winning despite Jesse Hogan. I'll take the 2 good players/draft picks for him at this point.

Frost loves the "great mark in defence into bolt forward into blind turnover" move.

I take that back.

Forced to pick, I'd take Brayshaw over Oliver as 1st pick for our team right now.

Melbourne. Your defence is a shambles. An absolute shambles. I watched Richmond today and the way they talk, structure and point to each other is lightyears ahead of where we are.

Looking good for us here. This is exactly what happened on a similar night last year…except we're doing it from level pegging instead of 5 goals behind.

That's exactly what happened last year. Except we were like 5 goals behind. We switched Tom McDonald forward after halftime and proceeded to destroy them. (P.S. it was so successful that Tom never went back again).

All you schmucks talking about the bloke with the wig need too shut yer pieholes.

I've noticed that Adelaide's players have tried to put body on us at every contest. Good move by them because they're a mature team with body strength and we consist of Tom McDonald, Max Gawn, about 10 twenty-year old stars, and a bunch of old spuds.

Everyone's complaining about JKH, Garlett, Spargo, and Smith. I'm over here wondering when Jesse Hogan is going to show up.

I've got my annual Breaking Bad rewatch on one channel with the Dees on the other (muted of course). Far less stressful. Some kind of zen has come over me since last week, clearly.

Kicked it.

Some are born coaches. Some achieve coaching, and some have coachness thrust upon them.

Saints look on today. They match up ok on the Giants. Both sides have a lot of pace. How good would it be for them to cause an upset on a team that isn't us.

He should be doing that every week. The bloke is a monster.

The way Richmond has treated Collingwood today reminds me a lot of the way our game against them went on ANZAC Eve earlier this year. Close for 3 quarters until the 4th when they blew us away. Richmond are a fully awesome side.

How did we lose to the cats? Oh yeah…we were 6 goals up before kicking the bucket for no reason.

Lose this game and I just cannot see us playing finals. Win and it will still be hard. We need 3 wins out of 5. Possibly 4 out of 5. This just HAS to be one of them. It won't be easy, and it depends upon how well we are able to defend as a team. We know we can score. But can we stop a score in hostile territory with everything at stake? I have my doubts.
