that's my point.

Brisbane I think will scrape in, they need to reign in their losing margins against top 8 sides tho. 5 wins and a % only just scraping 100% stands to hurt them. There's a sense of Melbourne 2010-2011 about them: lots of promise, big wins and big losses. It can go either way for them. TBH I think Saints are the only absolute lock to drop out. Tigers have looked fairly average all year and like Melbourne I feel are having an off year. They were really exposed down back against the Dogs. I feel Essendon are a better chance than us.

frankie_d - only three words

It was a good game to watch, but Clarkson is right: both teams have a loooong way to go.

It was our best quarter of the season. But look, we kicked 12 goals in a quarter in a year we won only 2 games. We need consistency over a long period.

He literally handed them a goal in the last 10 minutes lol

Goodwin has been Neeld-esque in his celebrations after a win. Like as if each win us a godsend.

How could Lockhart not get in Best? Pretty stiff. Better and more influential than Oliver for longer, who only got into the game in the 3rd.

Why do we try to be fancy with short kicks in traffic? Hit the [censored] boundry!

Harmes BOG.

Our best quarter of the year will mean [censored] all if we don't bring it again in the last. Can we just bury Hawthorn for once?

So basically he's a forward who *looks* dangerous but can't kick and buckles under pressure. Sounds like a keeper.

Melbourne supporters booing in AFL Members. This is putrid.

Petracca is a potato. Trade him ffs.

We control play all quarter. They go forward once and kick a goal.

The difference between Spargo and Garlett? Spargo straightens up and has a shot, or looks for a teammate in a high % position. Garlett goes for the checkside low % kick. And sprays it.

We had 6 players alone in the F50 and still almost [censored] up that goal.

50 to 80 UCP. They have learnt nothing in almost 10 weeks of football.

I've never seen a team run and work so hard yet achieve so little. It is astonishing.

Hawks stroll into space. I am just utterly in shock at how bad they are.

this is a team with no structure, no intent, and zero leadership.

lol the cheer after that goal. Melbourne kicks a goal. Melbourne supporters: "I'm...Ron...Burgundy?"

Nah he just kicked the ball.

Hunt is wearing long sleeves. Hawks by 10 goals.

the only thing more miserable than the weather is the crowd. 25k tops.
