That's why melk is straight back in

Nice throw fm West Coast

Hmmm No Oliver or May

err Maybe don't bomb the ball in long...

Isn't there a bye at Casey again? Hard to find form if that's the case

I don't watch too many non-Melb games. These two teams are absolute garbage Terrible umpiring and a low quality boring scrap.

So the $4m reno taking 12 months is no good?

Logan Morris exactly the type we need. Solid body, takes a strong grab. TMac vibes but a better kick.

You been smokin it again?

Goodwin doesn't like him. Unlikely to return.

Pick 53

That Kozzie bump result was a disgrace Both players shaped to bump and Moore drops to his knees in the last second. I f*ing hate Collingwood

Yep. Oppo coaches will be banging into their players - just keep pressuring Melbourne they will crumble...

Not sure whether Mini can engineer an upset here. He knows our game plan and our players so will be interesting. Our 46 fwd 50 tackles in the past 2 games has brought heat on the oppo. Expect that to continue. That is formidable. Dees by 34

I'm a fan of playing players going back to their home town. They lift a cog when playing in front of family and friends. It creates player goodwill as well. JVR, McVee, Rivers and Kolt to star this week

We don't get to a prelim if we have players that don't put in effort. Not hard to understand.

The Fritsch sychophants on here are laughable. 'oh leave fritsch alone, he's just had a baby' Or 'he kicked 6 goals in our GF victory' as if that excuses him for the next 5 years. Like a Willy Wonka golden ticket. We'll always be grateful for those players but it's a professional sport and the world moves on. I follow the team and always will. The players come and go.

Interesting analogy. Thanks

And people forget that when Max goes fwd he completely freaks out the oppo defence. That coupled with our new found fwd pressure is gold

Good thoughtful assessment 👏👏

Glad you enjoyed the replay

All valid points but we can see with our own eyes when he doesn't chase, harass or puts out one arm for a faux tackle. Or he plays selfish football and ignores a teammate in a better position - a la Spargo in the last 2 minutes of the Tigers game Maybe he got away with it in the past because he scored goals but its not like this a revelation to Fritsch - he is a professional footballer after all and effort is always non-negotiable Our fwd tackle pressure in the past 3 weeks is off the charts. A pressure rating of 264 during the 3rd qtr against the tigers is off the charts. If you can't buy into that you're toast I don't care how many goals he kicked in the GF 4 years ago if he cant bring heat when we don't have the ball. One player not contributing can cause the whole system to break down and we have seen by the form line this year how important it is for everyone to be doing the right thing. Trust amongst team mates is vital and when you lose it like Clarry last year it all falls apart.

Players come and go, the team is forever. Thanks for your 6 goals but if you are not going to put in effort you can go now.

Sparrow had 11 tackles, mostly in the f50. For those that are incapable of assessing a players worth to the team, that is gold. Its the key to our resurgence in the past few weeks. Fritsch is the opposite of that and in a team/system game that is a cancer.

Waterman killed us last time from memory. We struggle with tall fwd lines....
