Losing this will derail our season.

Pitiful.

North's highest half time score of the year.

got it out but then dragged it back in.

yeah we're not quite up to it so far. Kozzie has had a better second quarter tho.

lol that's the goal they go to replay for.

Jones look good every time he gets near it. Needs to make a statement today.

Great by Kozzie. Trusted his teammate to win a one on one.

So far this is a clear example of not respecting your opponent. Nothing comes easy in this league.

i can't even hear the commentators but i get the feeling they rrally want melbourne to lose today.

Hope Jones has a blinder.

Our tackling is so good right now.

I'm watching at a pub with no audio for some reason. Is there much of a breeze that they've talked about?

Tackling is good at least.

First on the ladder for two weeks in 2005. Rounds 2 and 3. In 2004 we were first after 18 rounds. The deepest in a season that we'd been first since 1964. All the talk was about us. I think we were briefly flag favourites. Then Adelaide pumped us by 12 goals. We lost 4 in a row to end the season and were knocked out in the finals by Essendon. The most Melbourne way to end a season ever.

Libba is basically a walking comic book lol

he's a tall forward, by default he should be a good set shot. But much like Stringer his worst is bad enough that it can often be detrimental to the team. When he's on then so is the team. I think we call that a "downhill skier".

Dogs have been heavily pressured and smashed all around the game for the entire second half and could yet still win this. Tigers should be 6-7 goals up but they haven't been able to score. Dogs are grinding this and probably in a position they want to be in. Also, Bruce is such a spud. I hate it when he turns it up against us.

Jackson may be 199 but he can play smaller. Brown for example plays like someone that's 200cm. Jackson is agile enough that his height isn't a detriment in wet weather. Last Saturday being a prime example.

Hi all. Hoping for some help from our Sydney cohort and I guess for any others who have watched the Dees play whilst in Sydney. I'll be based in the harbour city for work for about 4 weeks and will be watching Melbourne on TV from rounds 9 through 12. Is there any particular venue Dees fans get together to watch games? Additionally, any other recommendations for watching AFL in Sydney? Would rather get out to watch it than stay in my hotel room. I'll be in the North Ryde area but can easily and happily venture into the CBD (as I will be a few times a week for work anyway).

What an outrageous scenario.

it definitely leaked.

that's the one.

Paywalled HUN article seems to suggest game will be in Melbourne.

I'm guessing the game is going ahead in Hobart then.
