Let me outline Yze's game plan. 1. Don't kick it high into the Richmond fwd line 2. Chip the ball into the fwd line. Dirty balls work well against the Dees. 3. Avoid May and Lever 4. Pressure them relentlessly and watch them crumble 5. Avoid May and Lever 6. Jump into Gawn's back at every single opportunity. Hold him scragg him - he never gets a free so don't worry 7. Shake Olivers hand really hard at the start of the game. Give him lots of high fives 8. Avoid May and Lever. 9 Above all and if you have forgotten everything else, avoid May and Lever

We have just had a 13 day break and will then have a 10 day break. Now is not the time to give Max a chop out.

If Mathew Nicholls or Nathan Williamson are umpiring I won't go. Shocking umpires who hate Melbourne and make the game unbearable.

We also drafted Darren Jarman but he refused to come and stayed in Adelaide before going to the Hawks a year later. Absolute draft tampering

Two of the most important recruits for Melbourne were Bernie Vince and Jordan Lewis They were at a time when Melb was crud for years and no gun player wanted to come near the club We were in a critical part of our building phase with numerous young players and no one with Premiership experience on the field. Vince was a two time B&F winner and a great teacher In fact there were very few at the club with any Premiership experience until Roos came along. No one knew how to win. And Lewis, with 4 Premierships was possibly the most important because of his stature in the game. Players hung off every word he said and followed has advice. These two with Roos (and Peter Jackson) rescued the MFC. I will be forever grateful.

Infuriating is one word. Dumb is another. They played the same way against us over the last 4 games. 3 losses for us and a 1 pt win. Poor teams like Hawthorn can't keep it up for 4 qtrs but good sides can. We have no answer for the chip and give game style when good sides do it. Watching it live it is blindingly obvious what their tactics are. Our inability to combat it was appalling Clarry at half back and even first gamer Kolt in the middle at one stage? What the hell? Raynor playing like a superstar. Brisbane blocking our mids to give Neale a clean run ever stoppage. Hopeless coaching and leadership last night.

We simply let them chip their way through our defence. It was pathetic. They refused to kick to may or lever, They had 40 more marks, 30 more tackles and 50 uncontested possessions. It's exactly how they have played against us the last 3 times. Our coaching staff were clueless. Gawn tried hard but was useless, hitting the ball all night to Brisbane players Out fwds aside from Chandler was disgraceful embarrassing Performance

Worst game in the last 100 F useless

Unwatchable [censored]. The afl is corrupt

Umpire 15 is a cheat

The kolt was in the last centre bounce!

Collingwood's slingshot style also meant a defence has less time to set up. They threw numbers at the contest and used handball plus short sharp kicks to disrupt defences. They're not being allowed to do that so much this year.

Your Swans avatar is disquieting...

I thought Woey came back to play at a Casey scratch match last week? So he has had playing minutes I believe

Against Adelaide it was Langdon 15.5kms, ANB 15.2 and Ned McHenry 15.0 Against Port it was Langdon 15.4, D Houston 14.5 and ANB 14.4 v Hawks Langdon 15.0, TMcDonald 14.7 F MacGuiness 14.6 ANB not in the top 5 v Dogs Langdon 16.2 Bont 14.4 Fritsch (!!) 14.4, TMac and Rivers next v Swans Langdon 15.8, ANB 15.5 Gulden 15.1 What a machine Langdon is!

Geoff Hayward. Star of The Club Great movie

Played golf with Adrian Anderson a few years back just after the tanking debacle, He hates Melbourne. Why TF we use him is beyond me.

We are the only sport in the world that requires our officiators to execute a physical skill. The run a lot of kms and have to perform a skill. Not surprisingly there is a large variance in performance. Not sure how we go about it but it would be best for the game if these inconsistencies were removed

Bowey is now nearly 5 weeks from when he did his shoulder. An 8 week injury they said.... Yet he's still 5-6 weeks away?

From the AFL Website: ( things we liked at round 4) Congrats to Judd and the recruiting team. Great to see Judd getting external recognition 2) The Demons recruiters have done it again You can firmly mark Judd McVee down as yet another Melbourne recruiting masterstroke. The young West Australian, who enjoyed a breakout campaign last season, continues to take strides across half-back and has now entrenched himself as one of the club's most important players. Recruited with the 16th selection in the 2021 rookie draft, McVee was outstanding in quietening the raucous Adelaide Oval atmosphere in the early stages of Thursday night's win over the Crows. He had 11 disposals in the first quarter alone and finished with 20 touches to go with four marks, 10 intercepts and four score involvements. – Riley Beveridge

Tell me you haven't watched the last three years of tribunal decisions without telling me you haven't watched the last three years of tribunal decisions You'd probably be the first one complaining if Clarry broke his right trying to spoil the ball

Soligo has also come out and said it was nothing

My most hated club

I heard a funny story about when Scott was appointed. He was meeting one of the coterie groups and the head of the coterie asked for Scott's mobile number. Scott said "what for?" And the coterie guy said "oh i always have the coach's mobile number" "Not this f**ing coach you don't" came the reply Coterie man was shocked 😲 The coterie groups have always had way too much power at bomberland The club is hamstrung by their glory days, powerful supporters and an inbred mentality Long may it continue

Adelaide played on the Friday night night in Perth and flew back late. A 6 day break. No real difference to us on a 5 day break with no travel.
