Let’s see if the lions can sustain their lasth qtr, been a problem all year. But they should do it for us

Only 9 down at the half. Let’s what belief the6 have built up. Anyone gong to tag Mitchell? Or is his huge DT score at half time, high possession but not effective one?

Dane Swan put this on twitter for the blues friday night fixtures "Carlton should play on Monday arvo’s when everyone is at work so no one has to watch em. Floating fixture for Friday night games please; Classic...

What I saw of him in the few games I thought he looked the goods, especially when we started to slide and lost chunks of our backline. Funny how certain players stay on the list for ages but never really get opportunities with certain coaches.

Oliver is far ahead of duty at 20 yrs old. I look to see him keep improving not only skill and awareness but also his physical ability, remember he's still growing/developing and won't peak for another 5 years. He'll be our first true superstar since Lyon and Flower. (*Could have put swartz in there pre-acl) I had a look at that years draft this week of who came before and after and he's the pick the bunch, no one is near him. Considering he was considered an unexpected bolder at the time we took him. Whoever spotted him should be paid lots to find more.

really bad luck. He was good in his first appearance for the year, including hitting up targets from speed which we need him to do. I really would be looking at the boots the boys wear, unless his foot got stood or something during the game?

but we aren't. Better effort, still need to work on delivery i50. But faster breaks with a faster team will help on a dry deck.

Thats total [censored]. get their act together.

No wind

Just click I saw on Garry Lyon and co. analysing our workmate from the weekend game. Goodwin also highlighted it so its squarely on the players to work harder for the whole game. https://www.news.com.au/video/id-5348771529001-5804318002001/melbournes-horror-workrate-exposed

Honestly I care who we beat when we win, the more games we win the better our opportunity to ensure a finals berth. It also builds belief in the playing group and helps build consistent structures as you can control games and learn to continually enforce them. A win is a win...

Great news for jack, been an emergency for weeks so he finally got his chance.

i remember that being mentioned years ago now. But in modern footy it does not mean as much anymore unless your name is Howe...

Oscar has come up nicely. He'll been a lynchpin for years to com.e

Yeah I know. Life just got busy and I didn't join soon enough. I just the numbers were set for each comp.

HI I tried to join as the PM I sent but it said it was full.!! I have joined the Cordner League now.

Its in a preseason practice game. It is still 6 goals against his name but the intensity of the normal season is missing as clubs focus on their own structures. If he can maintain that form all year, it'll be the jack we expected but didn't get often enough.

I'll go again, "Darkhorse". though hopefully far better than last year as it was a shocker.

All business need luck or "fluke" to in the right place at the right time, and this does happen to many people, but the success comes from the hard work to build that opportunity into wealth.

Nice success story for one of our ex-players. Joel McDonald. http://www.news.com.au/sport/sports-life/footy-star-turns-booze-business-into-200m-giant/news-story/ee601d48ad4a4708b70af3b2412c86ce

the word here int he west is that we are leading the race for Lever.. We'll see it it turns out to be true.

is he, i don't listen live, but i grab all his podcasts,

Most likely a direct question from a reporter as he put 2 and 2 together and thought he had an angle to write an article.

Great news..we'll see what happens.

"You wouldn't have had to. As Don Scott famously showed . It was a Melbourne jumper with a yellow hawk on the front. Make no mistake , we weren't merging. We were taking over." Some interesting discussion, including the above. To be honest I voted fro the merger, simply because we would have become the Melbourne hawks...given we have changed our nickname a few times in the past, it wasn't a deal breaker. We were still ging to be the Melbourne footy club, as at the time we were the stronger party by far. The club was looking tot he future and were in a good position at the time, it was before the TV rights bonanza, which met the growing salary cap. And I think the AFL should pay for this will all the clubs, who manage how they spend it etc, but then the clubs raise money themselves for the training and support facilities. As for the future, we are in the best position financially for as long as I can remember and I believe we will continue to grow. As for infighting since Norm Smith, there was infighting in Norm's time, just you had a very successful period that held the club together and a very strong individual.
