Cant wait for Tex's first elbow to May's ribs...

Really thought they would give May another week. 5 days doesn't make a great deal of difference with ribs. But then again this is Steven May, the Terry Funk of footy.

Going pretty fast.

Much more pain in store for that mob.

Deserves more if it gets up!

Proud adjective feeling deep pleasure or satisfaction as a result of one's own achievements, qualities, or possessions or those of someone with whom one is closely associated.

We were Come Together

I'm with ya

I heard her husband was paralysed from the head up.

What now? Is this where we feel sorry for an ex player who can't cut it or get picked elsewhere? Not attacking the OP as it's a worthwhile question but sometimes we're going to let players go who don't go on and have glittering careers elsewhere. I know a lot of people on here follow ex players very closely and credit to them but I'd personally rather watch how Matt Jefferson is tracking than tune in to Essendon's VFL game to watch Weid.

Should be locked up.

The Jackster may have been on the quiet side in the first half but really brought the Easter eggs in the second. And that goal, he's good for one of those a game now!

I think he's leading our B&F by a mile.

Maybe we just need some better eye tests?

In this case it was a massive gale.

It was the best worst pun ever.

Sounds like a tough start for Casey. Hopefully they can turn it around.

I guess you could say he had his finger on the pulse.

Alex Neal-Bullen - Now an A-Grader

Gruelling game, 31 degrees in Adelaide today. How do you get this team up for another game in 5 days time? Can we expect at least a few rotations?

Good God 5 days ain't long! Personally wouldn't play May way too short a turnaround.

Pretty glad to get this over that mob. Were we that good? No we were not, were we good when it counted, hell yes. And that is what the game is mostly about, like a good boxer you look for the telling blow at the right time. We hung in and made the most of our opportunities while Port threw everything at us and will wonder how the heck they didn't win. Lord knows we've been in that position enough ourselves. This is very close to the best game I've seen ANB play. 23 touches, 2 goals, a staggering 30 pressure acts. The running this guy does is insane and constantly pushes up high. Ben Brown gave us something to kick to. Yes he isn't the body on body forward we need but he's still got a good set of hands and if we get it in quick to him he'll be a force. Couldn't believe he was able to get that purchase on the ball just before 3QT. Petracca had a touch one early but worked his way in as did Oliver. Clarry having 9 possessions and a couple of clearances in the last. Could easily have 4 brownlow votes so far. The back 6 were often under prsssure especially when we were getting rinsed on clearances but I thought Lever marshalled things well, T-Mac is coming along nicely and I thought Marty Hore did a great job as that other tall there. Maxy was tremendous again, where would we be without Maxy! He is simply the best and needs a fair dinkum statue one day after another flag and a future stint as lord mayor. We love you Max! Ed Langdon held width as usual, tracked back on multiple occasions to help the backs, a beauty of a goal. One of his better games in a while. Plenty of average performances but we got it done collectively in the last. Who cares how you win just win baby. Lastly thanks to all MFC fans whether you made the trip over and screamed your lungs out or if you watched on telly in Melb and screamed at the TV. You are all the best and give yourself a pat on the back. Enjoy Easter, don't have too many Easter eggs and let's dine on Crow soup next week. Go Dees!

So proud of this guy. I'm happy to call him an A-grader now. 23 possessions 2 awesome goals and 30 yes 30 with a 'three' pressure acts. Unheard of.

At the end of the day nothing shuts down hearsay and innuendo like winning. Nothing matters but the players in these rooms.
