You're going home in the back.......

On The Round So Far they talked about the 'fixturing free kick' that has Melbourne doubling up against either West Coast, North or Hawthorn equal most. You really gotta love it how mid year these same people said we had the second hardest run home..

What has changed in the way we play. I don't believe our defence is playing as well as they could but I can't help but think these high scores we are conceding are partially by design. Are we pressing higher up the ground? Are we playing faster and 'embracing' the imperfections more? A month ago I wouldn't have fancied Melbourne in a shootout but now we seem like a team that doesn't care how many points the oppo scores as long as we score more!

Thought Tommo would have liked that game back.

I'd like to see a few less ruck minutes this week for Max.

I think the Saints are the worst 5th placed team after Rd 20 there has ever been.

I'd just give them one of these.

Continuity is underrated.

Soldo aint a bad flopper himself!

Absolutely sensational stuff. Love watching this guy play!

6. Petty with 6. Also 7 marks inside 50, we don't win the game without him for mine. 5. Gawn - 22 contested possesions for a ruckman with 9 in the last quarter is absolutely insane. 4. Viney - That man is made of granite. 32 possessions, 9 tackles, 7 clearances. This is the best patch of his career. 3. Trac - Possibly a few misses away from being higher. The master of the score involvement with 13. 2. Lever - 9 Intercept possessions, tough day for the backline but he was great. 1. Melksham - Played his role to absolute perfection and dobbed some beauties. Apologies Brayshaw, Rivers, Langdon.

I said during the game that we probably needed to turn it into a scores from clearance game to win and 76 points from clearances says it all. They stood up when it counted.

They stink.

I've already had a whole day of hearing what they are saying at Punt Road. They can get stuffed, not giving them any more air time.

Yeah remember when we needed Hardwick?

Think it may well be Nascent!

I'm good with that.

The Tigers fan in front of me was reasonable albeit one eyed for most of the game UNTIL Shai Bolton's clear throw where he yells "Our 1 throw for their 5". There was also a moment in the middle where Max had two beautiful quick handballs and he yelled out throw for both. Gert out, go home and enjoy your trip down to the bottom of loser town.

Another game in the magoos for Grundy.

Here we go, what First Crack wisdom have we got tonight?
