No team since the introduction of GWS has missed the 8 by winning 13 games. No possible way this year is going to be an exception. 13 games will guarantee finals. 8th will still be a disappointment for this team but 3 more wins and we play finals

The broadcasters have spent so much on the rights that they don’t have any more money left for better vision/graphics

He has real mongrel in him and doesn’t shy away from the contest

Let’s get something straight. Petty will not be dropped. People have been wishing for this all year. It ain’t going to happen. The only time he will be dropped will be if he isn’t playing for the dees

We lost 9 games last year in the rain. This year the first time we played in wet weather was round 18. The odds of avoiding rain all year would have been 500-1. it would be funny if the coaching staff spent all of the offseason fixing up our wet weather game only not to have used it until now

If GWS port and Brisbane win today we slip bwck down to 9th yet we’ve won 3-4 last games. Its a very tight comp

Pies need to win 4-6 to make the 8.. they play Carlton, Sydney, lions and dees. Hopefully their season will be done by the time they play the dees however we all know what occurred last time this happened

It’s seems that Fullerton isn’t rated highly by the coaches. Simple as that.

Agree… no way he was ever going to get off with a smack to the face with enough force to gush blood

His decision making seems slightly slow. Hopefully this will develop with experience and age

Playing turner, petty and jvr at the same time makes us too heavy up forward. I don’t mind rotating petty and jvr

Heeny swung his arm with enough force to almost break Websters nose. Intent has been removed from the tribunal system and rightly so because it’s impossible to prove or disprove. All that matters is the outcome. Head high contact in today’s game is unacceptable and he got suspended.

The injury isn’t a season ending injury and he would be a potential in the unlikely event that we made the prelim or GF..

Because Goldstein didn’t play last week and wasn’t injured. Also, no need to have an ineffective 2nd ruck when dees don’t even have one main ruck option

and we aren’t a good marking team? May, lever, tmac, petty fritch, jvr and turner. That’s a third of the side are elite contested marks

You do realise he leads contested marks in the club?

Goldstein and Draper won’t both play if Gawn is out

The guy is only 28yo… could comfortably play for another 4 years. No one would give that up especially getting paid $500k per year running around after cow-hide.

Unfortunately Melbourne coaches and recruiters didn’t understand the importance of having a deep midfield. Brisbane have 10 players that are capable of playing on ball. Dees are lucky to have 5. they will run rings around us by shear force of numbers. Unfortunately we are 3-4 midfielders off being a decent side

We have one injury.. injuries isn’t this clubs issues

Agree.. all this talk about Melksham being the saviour of the club is ridiculous.

Mason cox missed 6 weeks with a similar injury

and we were missing lever, brayshaw and petracca came off after the 1st qtr

I haven’t watched that much of flower or barrassi however max is a generational talent. Will go down as the greatest ruckman of the modern era. Minimum of 7 x AA and a premiership after almost 60 years. It’s hard to beat.

We are now relying on a 33 yo, semi regular player, coming back from a long term acl injury. We see more desperate than I thought
