Certainly is a bit of a pattern isn’t there. I pretty much turned the telly not long after the game had finished….but I did get to hear Dangefield get up on the stage and speak. In my opinion I thought he did really well. Congratulated Brisbane but also made the point that coming second doesn’t mean that it should be all doom and gloom. There is only one in eighteen chance of winning a premiership. I reckon if your team finishes in the top four it ain’t all bad. A premiership would of course be better but not winning it doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. Certainly beats finishing bottom four. I now must look up the press conference and feel Scott’s pain. 😉

Totally agree with your last paragraph. Anyone is better than no one. To be honest when I watched last night’s game my only interest was in seeing Collingwood losing. Didn’t notice BM at all! I actually had to double check this morning the team lists from last night’s game to see if he actually played….but having said that I’d still take him

I might be on the outer here. Actually always enjoyed watching finals footy. And when Melbourne isn’t in it a big upside is that I don’t stress watching the footy. And when Collingeffingwood is in it I pretty much barrack for all the other sides. Still have three contenders. ABC.

I think he is too close to the players😉

I have seen none better throwing himself on the boundary line and getting a free….. but agree, he is a gifted footballer

It’s even easier for me…..anyone but Collingwood

My thinking is even simpler than that….anyone but Collingwood (ABC)

Totally agree with both comments. Borrowing from the Queen?, it truly has been a ‘annus horribilis’ season to date but…….if we happen to beat Collingwood tonight that then contributes to them not winning the premiership….all will be forgiven. Highly unlikely, but I still live in hope. GO DEES

You forgot to mention the Melbourne supporters chanting ‘Mellllboourne’ whilst they are putting both players on the stretchers

What’s Collingwood ever done for Melbourne? Answer - In the past few years they have caused us (me) abject misery. I honestly hope we can return the favour a little in the last game of the home & away season (our mini grand final in August)🤞

Yeah, I know it’s not going to happen because said he wasn’t interested and I guess they are looking for someone new ( which I can totally understand) but if he was asked and said yes I wouldn’t be disappointed. I would much prefer him to Buckley.

First few comments are very much self vested Pretty much from the day Buckley absconded to the Ferals from Brisbane I very much got on and stayed on the ‘I love to hate Buckley’ bandwagon for so many reasons. It was a long and good ride. So just on that level it would trouble me if he ended up our coach. The only person I would even more dislike having as our coach is Hird. I actually despise him for what he did at Essendon. Unforgivable, particularly more so because he is still in denial that he did no wrong. Ironically I think he would be a far better coach than Buckley. I would be most happy if we got fresh blood in as our new coach. As mentioned by others, first time new coaches seem to do better than recycled coaches.

1st Quarter- Game on!!

Purely from a curiosity perspective, considering what just happened a few days ago and your close relationship with some of the players, what sort of Melbourne do you think will front up this afternoon? I flip and flop, I can see a real statement game or I can see them going through the motions. In other words, I have no idea😐 If I had to guess, sadly it will be the later, hope I’m proven wrong

In my mind the difference is simply respect….to the bloke that got us our first flag in 57 years.
