Only if he's used as a decoy or get out of jail long kick. Otherwise we're relying on his set shots which would be nerve wracking.

If Fritsch converts the shots he usually does are we even talking about this? The loss was bloody infuriating but things are never as bad as they seem. You can guarantee we will be focussing on f50 entries this week and lowering the eyes. Should be another belter of a game.

We should have

To them I say HTFU The players deserve our support, win or lose they have tried their guts out all year, the Essendon game being the anomaly.

Pick 9 Weideman Pick 10 H McKay Pick 12 C Curnow Pick 14 Hipwood Pick 16 H Himmelberg Oh what might have been 😔

Too true 😂😭

Yeah I would never feel it was unsafe to bring my kids though. My 10yo is a bit more sensitive and doesn't really like going to games anyway due to the crowds but my 8yo is fine. They are a real pack of animals though I agree, I just laugh at them though. It's an experience that's for sure 😂

I was in the AFL members (level 4) with my 8yo. We were fine.

You're not wrong but they're pretty big tweaks. I just don't see it.

I would love that

I don't think it can be one. It will be either 3+ or nothing.

I would've liked to see them switch Kozzie and Petracca at least for some time last night. I'd like to see Rivers get some minutes in the middle too and surely Jordon comes in for Brayshaw.

I believe all of them except Richmond 2020 defeated their QF opponent in the GF which would be oh so sweet.

We had a midfield combo that allowed Petracca to move forward with Oliver out, I don't see why it would be different with Oliver back and Gus out.

A couple of Pies fans I spoke to quickly today - I didn't say much just asked them what they thought. Both said they thought Pies controlled the game for 3/4's and we made a late run but was too little too late. I thought I must have watched a different game.

Richmond 2020, Hawks 2015, WCE 06, Syd 05? Bris 03? It's happened but it's not the preferred route, obviously.

Michael Christian has more than overstayed his welcome as MRO. The system is terrible with one person effectively making the decisions and only reviewing things that are brought to his attention anyway. He is a boofhead whose sole credentials are that he played for Collingwood and was a commentator post-career.

I hope David King is in the media this week saying how Melbourne should get 75% of the seats against Carlton because it's our home game 🤨

Exactly. He knew what he was doing.

Agreed ACL is very harsh. What about a PCL? 🤣

Ie Brisbane

Surely the club appeals the JVR suspension. Was graded medium impact, McStay played out the game could argue it down to low impact surely?

Onthe radio after the game they said "all incidents are sent to the tribunal at this time of year" - is that correct?

Same thing happened last year against them round 20. We probably need to consider it's not just bad luck but where they are forcing us to take our shots from that is causing the inaccuracy.

Nothing changes - same thing happened last year with Langdon and back in 2008 with Watts and going back further to 58. Same old story with Collingwood. Don't go and retaliate with Maynard, stick a knee into Hoskin Elliot when he's standing in the defensive hole, dump Sidebottom and Pendlebury in tackles, flatten Murphy or Mihocek.
