I did think it was something the club should do, it's only a small think but it could give the boys just a little lift. I thought it could be done at a home game, not sure why but queens birthday is pretty special though.

Watched the tennis to see Ash make it through to the final. At least we have a player that we can be proud of. No throwing tantums, tanking abusing officials and giving up. Anyway now watching the footy and seeing geelong just kick goal after goal. I did see earlier ablett get the ball and was booed. Seriously do we really need to do that. Anyway 11 goals in a row they have kicked. Its a thrashing by the cats.

I like the ins. Would be happy to see Hore, Salem and may or lever back. Not sure if we should play both lever and may due to match conditioning. Im just happy that we no longer have to hear about Jack watts and his debut game and hear the pies people say it's our grand final.

He was also on the front bar last night, he still has his sense of humour and still making us laugh. I think it is fantastic he managed to get Cyril Rioli to go down he slide. I mean he is up on the tiwi islands having given up footy but he is willing to come down and do this. But each year you think this may be his last slide involvement but he is still there a year later. I mean going by stats on this terrible disease he should probably be dead. I don't mean that in a horrible way but I have heard of people getting diagnosed with mnd and 6 months later there are gone. Jones's grandad was gone after a year. The fact he can still speak and not be in a wheelchair is just amazing. He even attended the funeral of Anna Green yesterday. What he has done raising all this money to find a cure is so remarkable. 5 years ago not many knew about this disease. Now he has put it on the map. How he has not been nominated for australian of the year I do not understand.

To make the weekend a bit better it would be great if carlton could upset essenscum today.

Ugh it's going to suck to wake up tomorrow morning remembering how your football team wrecked your night. BUt you cannot kick 3-12 in a half. It is ridiculous. Maybe Neale can fire them up next week.

I suggest we practice goal kicking form every angle this week. Fair dinkum again it cost us. also Jeffy how did you drop that sitter in the forward pocket? You are experienced enough to mark those. This just sucks and we are only halfway through the year.

Bloody hell we lead for 115 minutes of that game. We had 17 more inside 50's. WE kicked 1-8 in that final term. I was confident Weiderman would kick that, but it wasn't just his fault. Gawn had a chance, Hunt missed an easy one in the 3rd and bloody Jeffy misses set shots. We let Betts off the leash in that last quarter, they kicked the last 5 of the game. Im sorry but Oscar was a liability tonight down back. WE just lost all composure. Ugh we should have banked those 4 points. That was worse then the WC game. Goodwin should give them a spray but he probably wont. That hurts.

Hunt should not have missed that goal and Jeffy needs to lift.

Ok we still have the lead. We just need to go back to what we did well in the 1st half. Hold on Melbourne we can win this. WE have lead and dominated all night.

Also helps we are kicking the ball instead of over handballing. 115 kicks to 92 handballs.

A good quarter. Oliver and Gawn just smashing it. Hannan does look a tad rusty but that's to be expected first game back. Them losing Sloane helps. Memo to the ch7 camera man. Keep it on the footy. Christ nearly missed Jeffy's goal when Petracca passed it over because we had to see Pyke in the coaches box. anyway lets keep it going melbourne. So far so good.

Well apart from a few dumb frees that was a good quarter. Weid looks good and happy to have Hibbard back in the backline. Lets keep it going. Maxy dominating the ruck.

Have to start well and make the most of our opportunities.

Dam Hore has been a find this year. Well I guess we will see what JKH can do. I do fear what Gibbs, Jenkins ans Walker will do especially Walker after his criticism last week. I have no idea what to expect tonight. But I would love to see some players find some form.

I would love to see carlton beat essendon. Bomberblitz will blow up. It's strange to see Rhys Shaw coach tonight. I guess I still see him as that footy player that dropped the ball in the 2003 gf in the backline where Lynch picked it up tuned around and snapped a goal. But good luck to him.

Mitch Hannan apparently on board to darwin and so is salem I reckon hannan is one of the important players we have been missing this year.

To the melbourne fans who have travelled to Darwin lucky you. Enjoy the warm weather.

Jeffy 1 kick. Pathetic

I really wonder what PJ is thinking

Thankgod I decided to work today

Did Goodwin read them the riot act at 1/4 time? I can't see those midfielders being that quiet in the next quarter

Finally a goal

Seriously we have scored nothing after 15 minutes. What is happening there
