I can see where Jack is coming from. I don't think we have had so much scrutiny on a number 1 pick since jack. You would be shattered if he chose to leave to go back to SA next year , I know he's family and mates are there but I reckon he'd be more scrutinised in a 2 team town. It also doesn't help when you are not winning.

So it gives viney a go at being captain. I reckon he will love that & step up leading the way. Do they move someone up to vice under Jack?

So another back goes down. Poor Turner cops a facial fracture & Elliot gets away uninjured. Typical. Has someone put another curse on us?

We are stuffed

Can you believe Collingwood lost to west coast at docklands? They have a pretty cruisy 3 games, gold coast, gws then nth.

The annoying thing is mihocek was in doubt all week with a knee injury. Would have been handy if he was out. Well Melbourne players playing for Casey certainly know spots are up for grabs

Maybe there is a lull after wining the premiership. I mean I know the players said our motivation is to win it in front of our fans at the G but they have achieved the ultimate goal so maybe they have hit that bad patch. Although I don't think we are going as bad as Robbo makes out when I saw this headline on the herald sun website. Robbo: Dees’ shame almost on par with laughing-stock Bombers Please Robbo we are not at the bombers level yet.

It's just a shame when we got out to a 20 point lead in the 3rd quarter we couldn't keep going. It's a bit disappointing to only kick 1 goal in the final term. Bowey won't know how to handle these losses. Welcome to the real world of AFL.

Well the positive thing is we are equal top, at the moment we don't look like it. I still trust we can do something in September. But top 2 finish is so important.

Is it true when ginnivan was mouthing off to gawn it was about May?

And trac had the big crowd to play in front of to. Isn't that what he wanted?

Well if we want top spot back then Brisbane may be the perfect game & obviously will have to beat them. I remember Melbourne Storm went through this after there premiership & they went back & worked on what needed improving. This is where our assistants are important & need to work with the coach. Advice to the players on there bye week. Just lay low and don't get in the headlines.

Poor max should be told to go away for a week & rest up. He is battered & bruised & sore. His knees and today his hip & ankle were bothering him. He's one that needs the bye

So the week started badly & ended badly. Collingwood own us on queen's birthday

Brayshaw that is it

Yep Tomlinson would have been better in the backline instead of Mitch brown. Chandler provides nothing

May would have held miocheck I reckon. Anyway we will be written off but I expect a response against Brisbane. Well I'm hopeful. Who won the medal?

Bring Bedford in and drop Neal Bullen

Mitch brown never to play again. Just leave weiderman in.

Steven may owes us and his teammates big time. The bye has come at a good time

He did some really good things. He was ok. Alex Neal Bullen & sparrow need to get better

For the first time ever I left the game early. I couldn't stomach sitting there watching us get overun. Strangely some Collingwood fans have chosen to leave early to

Game over

Hey May are you watching this. You would want to come back and put on a good performance against Brisbane. You owe us.

This is going to be a long final quarter
