I do love how much more pace we have in our side over these past 2 weeks. Frost, Hannan, Garlett, Spargo, are all pacy players who were dropped for next to no reason.
Especially on the MCG, we need players like this.
As much as we complain about Melbourne's lack of improvement or whatever, I still don't reckon we've lost to a fully shite side this year. Saints aren't the rabble they were earlier in the year.
This player takeover week of Fox Footy has blown regular viewing out of the water. AFL should farrk off the media and just employ current players to do commentary.
That's assuming the sides play to the rules evenly. They don't. The best team isn't the fairest team, and the worst team isn't the most unfair. It's a crapshoot…which kind of helps explain the umpires' lack of consistency. Not that it excuses it or anything.
We can tell.
Me? I was a spritely teen the last time the dees played finals. Now I'm staring down the barrel of 30 and I still hold that Chopper Carroll takedown on Fraser Gherig as my most loved footy moment.
