Need to take our chances

Stop kicking it out on the full

Just settle Melbourne

What about holding the ball

Ugh late last quarter goal. Have to keep this pressure on

Great tackling

Hannannn! Great kick

We are just bombing it into the 50

Neal bullen bloody hell

Jones fumbles hogan drops a sitter

God Thomas is annoying

Oh god forgot Thomas is playing. Lets hope we get off to a good start. Hopefully we see roaming brian in our rooms after the game.

It feels weird being a friday night and our footy team is playing. Lets hope it sets up a good weekend. No late changes. Starting bench. Melbourne: James Harmes, Mitch Hannan, Bernie Vince, Bayley Fritsch

Have no idea what to expect and If we lose I won't be surprised and if we win I will be happy. Hope to see a big game from Petracca and Hogan after a quiet queen's birthday game. But we need the win to keep in the top 8 and stay close to the top 4. Plus if we lose the media will just go on and on about us. I hope our midfield coach has been working overtime this week to fix our centre clearances.

2 goals up to nearly 3/4 time by the 2nd team on the ladder. Pathetic.

Agree, shut those power fans up

Im sorry but are west coast a 2 man team now? No darling no Kennedy no wc. Yes I know if you take 2 forwards out it's harder to score goals but West coast are on there home ground, sitting 2nd. They still have a number of great players. They are playing a team that lost to Carlton. My god the scum cannot be that good. Anyway the socceroos are on in an hour.

People go on and on about our camp and cancelling it, well you know what adelaide went on one and stuffed it. To only kick 4 goals that is a disgrace. There performance was worse than carltons in the sense that this was last years runners up. They only kicked 4 goals and scored nothing in the 3rd quarter. Clarkson reminds me of Craig Bellamy he Melbourne storm coach in the way that they both lose players but get someone else in to fill the position and do it well. Gee looking at the ladder last weeks loss hurt. If the tigs win they will joining WC and Sydney 2 games clear of us. Cats win they go one game clear. We really need to beast port next week to keep the teams below us off our backs.

Wow I actually gave Carlton a chance today, but this is just horrible. There could be a mass walk out at half time. This was a team that beat essenscum who have beaten teams like geelong and gws at there home ground. Well the loser out of the suns and saints could escape scrutiny because I think next week the focus will be on Carlton.

I haven't been to geelong since that horrible day. But can we just rock up and by a general admission ticket? It never seems to be a sellout.

We also have to come up against Lindsay Thomas next week as well. Great.

So who do we put on Wines next week? The games this weekend on free to air arent to bad. Tonights is ok, tomorrow night Sydney v WC will be a cracker and Saturday night Hawthorn Adelaide will be interesting and its a shame we don't get Geelong Richmond on sunday arvo.

I wonder if Roosy was asked an opinion about this as they are former teammates and good friends still. Anyway did not see this coming but good on melbourne because even the main footy reporters obviously didn't get the scoop. Maybe things arent leaking out anymore. When they talked about it on classified the other week Perts name wasn't mentioned. He has big shoes to fill.

Well just got home from the game. The way I saw it was collingwood were just to quick for us, they went up the middle all day, cox killed us, they had multiple goal kickers and shared it around, we over handballed in the first term, dropped simple marks lacked pressure, missed easy tackles and didn't have enough players kicking goals, some of our big name players didn't exist and again we were smashed in the clearances. Our midfield coach has a lot of work to do and viney on the radio after the game acknowledged its 2 weeks in a row we have been smashed in clearances. But this is a reality check. Im confident we will bounce back. Im not about to make ridiculous calls about trading players out or if goodwin is still the right guy. If we get thrashed by port in 2 weeks then I may ask questions. But its not time to over react. We have had a good 6 weeks.

Maybe we don't want 2nd spot. Collingwood just to quick and used the corridor well.
