Chook

Amen, as Brucey kicks another goal, shutting up Yze_Magic and many of his disciples who have been beying for his blood over the past few weeks.

It's a shame McLean can't perform anywhere near as well after being tagged. It is something that he'll have to learn to deal with now and in the next few years.

Wheatley is playing very well. Ablett not so well - not that I'm upset.

Morton from his second. Very lucky, but luck comes when you're playing well. Exiting stuff from the Dees.

What a turn-over from Garry Ablett. Good comment from the commentator - "It just proves he's human."

What an intercept from Chook. Good on you Cale. Deserving first AFL goal. Good stuff from the Dees.

How was that from Aussie. Really showing Davey up with that tackle.

Where is that good Sylvia form that we saw in the pre-season games. It's a shame that he hasn't come on as promised.

That is a very insightful statement. Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?

I'm a fan of Jamar's, but you're probably right. Having said that, I'd always take an experienced AFL player over a guy who has gotten only one game in 3 years.

McLean really is making up for his shocker last week. Very good stuff! And Dunn kicks our third in a row.

Can you be both facetious and right at the same time?

Jeez, both White and Johnson are playing blinders. Good luck Jamar and Meesen.

OMFG! Miller has kicked a goal! Go Dees!

Bruce goals against the flow. He's playing well, Brucey.

Incredibly happy with White's attempted mark running with the flight. Very un-White-like.

Quarter-Time We are six points behind thanks to a couple of late Geelong goals. Having said that, we have been impressive - great intensity but poor disposal. Promising. Good players so far have been Paul Johnson, Brock McLean, Aussie, Wheatley, Carroll and Neita. Brad Miller has done some good things in the forward half, while Cale Morton and Nugget have both been let down by their poor disposal.

Nah, he was selected on the extended bench.

Absolutely. Melbourne often play well against the Cats and the addition of Jared Rivers is absolutely monstrous for our team. A victory is not what I am looking for, but improvement - both in intensity and decision-making - is. I think, however, that in order for us to come even close to Geelong, Russell Robertson needs to kick at least five goals - otherwise I just can't see where our winning score could possibly come from.

Give the guy a break. Jeez . . . sometimes I think my fellow Melbourne supporters actually actively dislike the guys who play for our club.

Actually, that was the fist thing I noticed! But it won't happen, especially once we have Rivers and Whelan back in the side.

Absolutely! I thought he was good, too. He was fifth in my top six, but when I posted that, I kinda got shouted down. I really thought his entry inside 50 was good, as was his intensity, at least compared with that of some of our other players.

Sorry, but I thought that his intensity and delivery into the forward line were both way above that of almost every other Demon out there. Having said that, however, I reckon he is a forward who can rotate through the middle, not the other way around.

Definitely the worst game I have seen him play. I watched him for 10 minutes in the final quarter and could not see anything positive about his performance. I used to think he would Captain the Club to a Premiership, win a Brownlow and save us all from the Abyss. Not anymore.
