I'd have him, even if only for 5 years. Still better longevity value than Dogga.

Full back is a long way to run when you need to setup for the last 33 seconds! Would have expected a bit better from Kelli.

The backline needs a breather occasionally. Repeat entries and more time in there is going to wear them down quicker and this will lead to more zone breakdowns. Gawn as sole ruck was great in this game and it's been great click bait but we still need a presence other than Max on wing who can save us with a mark every now and then because I'm pretty certain we will require him up forward again eventually.

Imagine if motivation from his former coach helped us win a flag 🙃

Aren't we a desperate bunch!

We'll see how it goes, it won't be the same way for the rest of the season.

Shut this thread down.

Nice one Joseph!

Say what?

Nice to know I got to sleep before Max.

Why on earth is the Hipwood non-mark being discussed as a controversial moment? It hit Lever in the chest and if he didn't think we could have marked it he would have gone the punch. In my view Lever marked it then Hipwood ripped it out, it was not even a 50-50 with Lever in front. Hipwood tried to con the umpire and it's understandable in that moment.

Yep, it's the only way.

I waited for today to share any real thoughts on how this game went down and after one full replay and two 4th quarter replays and I still can't quite figure out how the we did it but we did. That first 10 minutes was the best football we've played this year. We led the clearance count 6-0 and were torching contested but the Lions found a way back and we were in for a big game. It seemed like it was getting out of hand and for the life of me I don't know how we came back in that last quarter, but I had long made peace with the fact that we were going to be losing this game. The lead kept reducing and when Viney kicked that beauty and we entered the forward line again, I just felt it was going to happen. Feel so good for Melk, I haven definitely been a critic and I'm not saying he's the answer up forward every week but this game suited him and he showed a physical side early that was really helpful. Good on you Melk! What? Paywall? For the rest of layzie's post you will need to be subscriber. $6 a week just 2 cups of coffee...

@binmantotally nailed this in the pre game thread saying it would be high scoring and that we would come out and play fast. Big thankyou to @Demonlandfor taking the Glen Waverely line on Fri night as an omen! My question this week is that we are obviously missing Oliver but it can be hard to explain why considering contested ball and clearances has still been really good last few weeks. Would like to hear from the guys what they think the main thing we are missing in Oliver's absence. Is it the quick hands out of the contest to clear congestion? Is it the fact that it would allow Petracca to play more forward? Thoughts?

It was quick thinking and the sign of a team that thinks for themselves on the field. We got nuts when they don't do these things so full credit that we did on this occasion.

Why completely ignore a very good segment of the draft market just because they might want to go home in 5 years?

Crows were disappointing.

Cannibal Corpse had an album called Tomb Of The Mutilated and that is what we are seeing.

Well done Dark Blues
