Playing Jetta loose was probably the right call. Our run out of defense was probably the best it's been for a month because of how loose our defenders were. Had they played one on one, with Freo's quick transition we'd have been stitched up because their mids and half-backs would have just cleaned up the crumbs.

How does having Spencer in the squad ahead of Jamar prioritise winning? He hasn't played merely as a means to develop Gawn and Spencer, not necessarily because either makes us better (although Gawn now does). Bring Jamar in. Slot him up forward. Push Hogan up the ground. It's his last game ffs. Give him a send off.

Around the 12,000 mark. There will be 8000 there on the weekend but the club/league will inflate the figure to 12,000.

Shockingly one dimensional. Had nothing to do with the club. Two coaches in Neeld and Roos tried to force defensive accountability onto him and he just couldn't adapt. A great attacking player but that's it. Would have been great for us if we were a good side. A downhill skier of the highest order.

Giants by 10. Goals.

Imo the club should go out with the intention of winning this match and winning well. Best squad possible. We can't undervalue a strong win to end the season. The only sympathetic "in" I can bare is Jamar. Bring back Kent and Brayshaw for ANB and Newton, Jamar in for Spencer. Jones will get up.

I actually think we'll win this week so I'll be there. Lol jk I'll be there but only because pain makes me wet.

It's astonishing how far ahead he is with his kicking. But don't worry. He'll drop off next year. It's the Melbourne way!

No. Melbourne-like would be signing a big deal and then turning out to be the biggest bust in free agent history. For a career-ending injury or other issue to be "Melbourne-like", the player would need to be in the midst of or having just had a career-best season. Think Jakovich, Jurrah, Clark, Tingay, etc etc

Not as many as Vince, Garland, Dunn, Cross missed handball targets.

I thought we played 3 good, not great quarters, which is more than you can say for the past month of games. We were better around the contests and our run and carry was good. Garlett and Hogan worked hard to keep the ball forward but they were just too quick in transition. We could have kept the margin down and lost by only 20-30 but bad errors at pivotal moments by the likes of Jones, Garland, Vince, gave them the ball back and let them go on 3-4 scoring runs.

Hogan - Great second half Salem - Smooth as butter Viney - Our best midfielder Also disagree with Garlett. His best game for a month by far.

I don't disagree with you at all.

Good signing. Had his best season by far and the club seems to be managing him well. His first two seasons would have been awful for anyone's confidence. He's far too talented and skillful to get rid of. It's a psychological thing with him I think. I've never seen a player get so down on themselves after an error. I guess that's what happens when you blood a top 5 pick in a team that loses by 148 points.

He will be kept. We need depth players ahead of him but he'll be kept for that sake.

He was absolutely stuffed. Underdone and not ready but will be better for the run. Gave it a go and seemed confident with the ball even against top opposition even if his disposal was bad at times. At least he doesn't hyperventilate and fluff most of his possessions like some of the team's 100+ gamers. His errors were genuinely a product of him just having zero tank. Give him a break.

Salem is a godsend.

We've been okay. Once again, that horrid first 1.5 quarters has killed us. We've kept pace since then.

I think, I THINK, it's the coach.

"That was almost holding the ball.." Dwayne Russell, you're an idiot.

We're actually playing like a half-decent team now.

HAHAHAHAHAHA That's holding the ball?

Good goal, Watts.

Don't run too hard, Salem. You might give us some run. We wouldn't wan that.

The players are throwing this game, right? I thought last week was bad but the lack of urgency is gobsmacking. I know we say "they don't care" but the body language seriously looks like a d-grade under-12s team
