Chook

Zac Jones could easily be out for a couple of weeks after that late bump there.

I'd be shocked if we don't smash them based on how they're playing. Just gotta take care of Adelaide first.

Never saw anything in him TBH.

That was a Luke Tapscott special from Haywood on the boundary line. A kick like that out on the full ended Tapscott's career.

With Sydney's downturn in form, this draw is opening up for us slightly. Win tomorrow and we're still in it up to our necks.

Carlton plays Gold Coast this week. Go to that game and chuck a ball onto the ground midplay. I doubt anyone would intervene or even care.

As good as it would be to see Nathan Jones hold up 1 finger after a Grand Final, it would be just as sweet to see Jordan Lewis hold up five. It could be less than 3 months away. It could also never happen. The challenge is there. Make history Demons.

He was also our lab experiment. Idiotic on all sides. The past is the past though (thank god) so we'll just keep on moving.

The first lesson every Melbourne coach and player should learn is not to count on Frost to know anything. The best approach is to treat him like an athletically-gifted manchild, or else some kind of football-playing robot. Give him simple instructions and he'll follow them to the best of his absurd athletic ability. Fail to explain things clearly enough though and Sambot will proceed to beat Tom Hawkins in a one-on-one marking contest, but then bolt down the field and hoof it directly to a nest of cats for no reason whatever because his programming has gone haywire.

Less frees, less interchange, less rules, less commentary, more viewers. It's a simple formula.

I actually thought ANB was relatively good against Geelong. He was awful in his first game back but played a good last quarter there and has improved since then. I'm glad he has been given another chance.

Doedee's no spud. He's a massive out. Their Lever if what I've heard from my Crows friends is true.

We would be the fastest swimmers in the league but still somehow be beaten at the last stroke.

I won't be happy until Clarry Oliver stays in a sensory deprivation tank deep underground for 24 hours a day. We'll wheel him out on gameday of course, after a week of him watching Diesel Williams on repeat…but we'll immediately send him back to the tomb for another 7 days after he's won us the game. Rinse and repeat until we win a premiership.

Frost with a clear mandate to lockdown is significantly better as an Alpha defender than Oscar McDonald. Oscar is a bread-and-butter 3rd defender/second defender at best, and with Jake Lever back next year I would go with Frost as our gorilla-minder, Oscar as our 2nd defender, and Lever to hold it all together.

Well I think you're wrong. We have Buckley's chance against West Coast with our backline and their ridiculous marking targets in their forward line. Imagine 2 Tom Hawkins running riot all game. That's how I picture our WCE game going.

Is Lewis the first Melbourne player to have played 300 games (beside Neitz of course)?

You know what every international person who watches AFL loves…that it looks like it has no rules. That is this game's greatest strength, and the AFL is systematically destroying that perception and replacing it with a rulebook longer than your arm. If anything they need to reduce how many rules there are.

You're usually right with predicting Melbourne won't make the finals? You must be Nostradamus.

He knows he lost his team the game. At least he cares. Look at what he has written on his wrist. RUN! He nearly won us the game tonight, and instead he probably lost it for us. It's a tough pill to swallow.

I blame Tom McDonald for missing that sitter in the 1st quarter.

Life hates all Melbourne supporters and footy is dead to me.

Frost has been a good in the last 2 weeks but [censored] me I'm dead.

22 vs 1 Melbourne vs Tom Hawkins

Jetta super lucky not to get pinged there by the ump.
