I didn't go to this game at Windy Hill, strange because I used to go every week back then as a kid. I have a feeling we had been on a losing streak getting spanked by the Kangas a week or two before so my old man must have thought bugger it. Instead I was at the G watching the Tigers get killed by the Hawks with my cousin and uncle who barrack for Richmond. My uncle was pointing out how bad Melbourne were going all day until the last when I started to see the A vs B or G vs H or whatever on the scoreboard start ticking over in the last quarter. Still have the replay on VHS which I watched many times over the years as a kid but now with the wonders of YouTube the whole game is up as per the OP.

Brtlett was the one who gave the spray not Pert. Was good to see him there tho I agree, was sitting on the bench during the game as well, nice to see him get a win against his old mob.

If we ditch Jones while holding on to the Wagners and Smith this club is stuffed I want to see him get to 300 hopefully it's this year

"Darren Bennet uses Van Der Haar like a stepladder"

Id like to see that as a percentage. Most of our earlier games were lower scoring and hence fewer centre bounces

I reckon it was pretty rough to call them out of bounds too. They both looked in or borderline at best.

Not on recent performances. They got belted by WCE, lost to Freo and snuck home against Sydney and Adelaide. I'm please with the win and the demolition job but I still think we need to prove it against the best. I think we should've beaten Geelong, Richmond and Brisbane. But we didn't and we need to take that opportunity the next time it presents itself. The Saints game will be interesting because they have a gamestyle that really troubles us so I will be fascinated to see how we perform against them.

Who?

The "game in hand" is a fallacy now that 6 other teams have also had a bye. Need to bring back the match ratio column in the ladder circa 1993

Or go bum over breast when the chair went out from under him Apparently bum over breast is the demonland filters acceptable version of arz over teat

Pay this man whatever he wants, we must keep him

Some like Eddie are so one eyed about their club and they play into it. Others like Garry go the other way and are overly critical so as not to appear biased. I don't think that is reflective of his true feelings about the team/club but it is frustrating as it plays into the stereotype about the club (soft underbelly, pushovers etc) Also he's probably been burnt putting his neck out for the club before so would be very cautious about how much praise he dishes out. I hate it but I get it.

If he keeps it up when he had the opportunity he'll be a good pickup for someone next year and might net us something decent in return. He deserves to be playing seniors and is now 3rd in line at the Demons.

You didn't see De Goey rip the Cats to shreds before his injury layoff?

We've improved our ball movement dramatically since playing Richmond and Geelong. They are both playing better too but I still feel we lost those games rather than they won. The Lions game was there for the taking too. The Port game is the one really poor performance this year, even the West Coast game way back in March we were beaten by a better team but I don't think we were embarrassed. I'd like to see us back it up against the Dogs and Saints in the next couple of weeks as well but I think we've been relatively consistent this year Port game aside.

I agree but that's for tomorrow. Tonight I'm gonna enjoy belting the Pies by 10 goals ????

WEEEEEEEEEED

If playing Collingwood is Melbourne's Grand Final no wonder we won 6-1

Goodwin? It was a Greatwin!

Woo-hoo-hoooo CARNA DEMONS!!!!

I'm surprised the Pies are favourites here. It was evens until the sides were announced so I guess Gawn/Jacko out and their cast of ins swings it in their favour I was hoping to back them at over $2 to at least make some money if we lose, we should win this one but everyone knows how that goes with us. I hate these late starts, I already have the pregame nerves ?

We will fight them at the Gabba, we will fight them at Adelaide Oval and in Cairns. We shall never surrender!

Cats were coming off a 4 day break and Port off a 6 day break last night
