May walked past me last night after the game and it looked like he was limping. Not sure if the hammy will come up but I hope it does.

Wow is everyone staying at home watching it on tv flicking between the footy and cricket? A very low crowd

Be interesting to hear what our president's voice sounds like. But also would be interesting to hear what he has to say. Don't eat the terrine

Gee we know it's frustrating barracking for Melbourne, but if you're a port fan you would be wondering where that performance has been the past few weeks. Good win though and at least we don't have to hear about another bummers win

Come on port, 1 more quarter. Do not lose this.

go port

Port please win today

I'm going tonight and I have no idea why. I fear what Lynch and Riewoldt will do to us, whichever Oscar is playing on. However I'm looking forward to seeing Melksham back.

Dam Gold Coast, unfortunately essendon just had the experience to run over the top of them in the end. So close.

Stop the game now. Suns 21 points up. I still expect the bummers to run over the top of them.

Id get melksham back in. He is been the player we have missed the most. A good kicker and a good mark and a target up forward.

Gold coast v essendon 4:40. What sort of crowd will they get, not a great one I reckon. In fact there may be more dons fans there.

Well next year we will probably go back to the 1:10 games, have more on foxtel and not be on free to air as much because of our stupid season. Won't the AFL and 7 be rapt in 3 weeks time the friday night game is us v sydney. Oh well at least i have the melbourne storm as my backup team to lean on. At least they provide me with consistent finals appearances each year.

This time last year were were siting 6th having just beaten adelaide. Oh how things change. Back to reality. By the way we play richmond next week. I'm already scared of the result.

We're a long way off a really good basic football team. Our fundamentals are deplorable at times." Max Gawn speaks on Melbourne's nightmare season Well at least he just tells it as it is.

That last play just summed up our year. To many handpasses and fumbled. At least we kicked straight tonight Just dumb turnovers by the players, broken tackles and just didn't man up and let the saints players get free to easily. The good thing is, as we won't be playing finals we will start pre season earlier so we have time to work on everything that has gone wrong this year. On a plus side I thought that was Petracca's best game in ages, if not ever. Im not on the sack goodwin bandwagon. Yes if we begin 2020 like we started this year then questions will be raised but the last thing we need is another coaching change and panic. Im wiping this season away and I'm confident next year will be like last year. We will have a fit McDonald back, a fit Melksham who I reckon has been the player we have missed, May I'm pretty sure will have a different pre season than his last few and even VandenBerg would have been handy this year. Anyway Im going to cheer myself up and go to you tube and look at highlights from the 2 final victories last year. Just remind myself that we were a good team and we actually put geelong and the hawks out of the finals and I wasn't dreaming it.

The bad news is next week Oscar will have to take either Riewoldt or Lynch. He will be in for a hard night. Anyway Oliver got back into the game and we just need to put on more pressure and man up. We can still do this. Oh and the backline help Oscar out please.

No it's not. It's for Oliver to work out how to overcome it. Goodwin can't get in his brain and tell him how to shake off a tagger. Oliver isn't the first player to get tagged and he won't be the last. Good players work there way through it. On Frost you get the good the bad and the ugly with him.

Gee we are lucky to still be in front. Why hasn't maxy just stuck his knee up into this young kid? Show him who is the boss They have shut down Oliver completely. Our midfield need to regroup. Its a shame we didn't try this Lewis experiment earlier. I don't mind it. 3rd quarter will be interesting.

Good start fritta!

Well we aren't making finals so Im just going to sit back and watch the game and have no expectations. If we get thrashed well it happens if we win great. At least I won't have to watch Preuss drop simple marks. Just a random thought why we are we the only club that doesn't have our name in our theme song? The pies have good old collingwood, geelong have we are geelong, richimnd have the tigerland words, anyway thats what this season has come down to when you are performing so bad. Just random things you focus on.

West coast have already jumped out to a good lead, leading by 4 goals at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. Kennedy already 4 goals.

David Teague has played his players in there right positions. He got back to the basics and obviously he had his own ideas and they are paying off. I wonder if he put his ideas to Bolton and Bolton didn't listen. Gee not a great day for Adelaide. They lose, stuffing up there top 8 spot and what they thought with the number 1 pick appears to be going. Seriously people talk about us this year after last year but 2 years ago they played in a gf, missed finals last year and now could miss again. What's there excuse? Brisbane, what odds would you have got that they would be sitting equal top at this round. Fagan is some coach. The only bad thing now is it looks like essenscum will play finals. They will win tomorrow and go 2 games clear of adelaide. Ugh!
