Chook

That was a mark to Howe IMO.

You blokes need to watch the grand final more. The quote was "And the Melbourne fans have gone unbelievably." Still wondering where we went, and why it was so unbelievable.

Mason Cox just ups his unlikeability factor with every contest he is in.

Mason Cox has form with that knee as a weapon in ruck contests. Carlton's delivery into the forward line isn't very good despite having 2 60 goal forwards in it - which shows it's not your forwards as much as your mids delivering it in, and the pressure they're under when they do it.

Collingwood is going to blow this game open soon I reckon.

Dees fans might not all go to games but I guarantee a massive number of them have great TVs.

I reckon Rutten is cut from the Goodwin cloth but Essendon is about 35 years behind Melbourne in its realization of where they are, what the competition is these days, and what they need to do to be successful again. It took Melbourne a very long time to understand it doesn't just "happen", and Essendon are in the same boat now (and have been for the last 20 years). Long may it continue - happy to see them stuck in the Essendon equivalent of Melbourne circa the mid-80s forever.

The Dangerfest at the cattery is on - time to head to the bottle-o.

He was just about their best player I thought.

Bradshaw yakking about the treatment of Zorko by Melbourne but not wanting to go near Zorko’s two headlocks and some clearly not right sledging. Total misread by him.

Jess 2 late soft goals could come back to bite us.

This is a sackable captains performance from Zorko

This could be soul crushing for the lions and I’m here for it.

We are kryptonite for the lions gameplan

Kicking them from everywhere we are. Benny Brown with the snap.

Kosi.

How was there that much space in our backline?

Surely not with a home qually on the line.

I think there is another gear after all. Now can we keep ourselves in this gear all game?

Lions are so rattled.

Kicking quickly to Ben Brown on a lead is still a thing. Who knew?

Unbelievable start. Oh how I want to see you all in a qualifying final at the G in a couple of weeks.

Where has this Jake Melksham been?

Perfect start.

Hook that Max Gawn highlights package to my veins.
