Chook

lol Jetta on Brown is like something from the deepest darkest fever dream of a madman. Down by 3 goals now. Fark I hate North.

Tyson in everything so far. BOG for us this quarter.

Trengove unsighted.

That was a heck of a lot better from Jack Watts. Dees in front against the wind.

Whew. Got there. Now I can go back to hating Hawthorn.

This match might be paralleling Sydney's season: start way back, build steam, get in front. Run out of puff and whimper away...

Evidently so... Hawks got that lead from some absolute brilliance from Burgoyne. Without him they just haven't looked like it. Even that recent goal was pure luck.

Hawks have just stopped. 0 goals since midway through the 2nd quarter.

Surely that was sexual assault from the Hawks player…but this is a footy field so you can do anything up to and including "love taps" and smooches.

lol at BT implying GWS is one of the in-form teams in the competition.

For the first time in my life, I find myself wanting a Hawthorn win. I feel dirty.

My only question for this game is "What's our Ben Brown strategy?" I rate Brown really highly and am having nightmares about Oscar and Frost lamely drifting across to try to spoil his gangly arms.

To me, all this proves is that Jack Viney is a better leader than Jack Grimes or Jack Trengove, and that the 2017 iteration of the Melbourne Football Club is a better side than the 201x version of the same.

33nd? Is that bad?

I thought Oscar McDonald was one of our worst today. WTF was he doing spoiling the ball into the corridor? It's like he never defended before in his life.

Honestly, I can't see Sydney doing anything other than winning this year's premiership. They just do not look like losing now they have their best players back.

I was pretty sure you were joking, but wanted to be certain.

When you commented on the match day thread that he had "started well…", were you joking? Because to me it was clear as day he was well off the pace.

Percentage or not, there's no underestimating how important that win was for us. I just did another ladder predictor with our win today and wins against North, St. Kilda and Collingwood, I have us finishing the season in that coveted 4th spot. We have it all ahead of us now!

Jake Melksham is one of those players that just bobs up when we need him. Carlton, and now today he kicks the sealer.

Great defense by us to stop the scoring. I wonder if this is Goodwin preparing for the Elim (or Prelim) final.

Neville Jetta is amazing.

Too bad for Port that Robbie Gray can't just handball it to himself. He has to give the ball to his team-mates who haven't got his skills.

Good tackle Hoges!

Ok. Now I'm worried.
