Vince should have kicked that goal.gartlett missed 2 easy ones, gawn should have definitely kicked his one and Tommy mac should have gone back and had a shot instead of passing it off. Which was a turnover by the way.

Typical Melbourne. Making us wait until tomorrow night to see if we play finals. That 1st quarter killed us. No tackle pressure was just useless. We missed easy goals, did stupid turnovers and in the final moments just blazed away. I know goodwin is a calm coach but i hope he gave it to them after the game.

Just [censored]. Choked big time.

3 goals come on we are still in this. Next 30 minutes will tell us how much we want finals

Cox kicks a goal. Sums up where we are at. I hope the media put the heat on us

Just sit hogan in the goal square and tell him not to move

Goodwin get us back on track. Hogan out with a hammy. Did he come across a black cat or something. What a [censored] performance so far. We just cannot handle being overwhelming favorites. Maybe we are to scared to play finals.

Christ get someone else on elliot. This is crap footy. No pressure, missing easy goals, stupid passes. WAKE UP!

Wow what a terrible first quarter. Ots not going to happen Melbourne. We do need to win this. No tackling pressure. Maxy getting outmarked by cox. Come on Melbourne get going

Sitting in the members and managed to get seats next to 2 pies fans. What are the odds? Gee behind the goals where the pies fans sit is very scarce. Come on Melbourne!

Hope petracca can do the same as he did on queens birthday.

The AFL umpires are wearing blue this round to raise awareness for OPSM charity partner OneSight. But I did want the dogs to win, only for them to get 8th and hopefully by some miracle essenscum would lose. But the way the dogs played last night, it didn't look like a team that was playing for 8th spot. But it was a nice tribute at the end for the 3 and of course gibbo.

The last few weeks i have written we will see how much the boys want to play finals. Well today will definitely will tell us. 21 players when running out today just need to look at the person they will be running behind today wearing the number 2 jumper. I know Jonsey has played finals for us but if anyone deserves to be there its him. He has stayed loyal to us and has led this club well. also it would be great for someone like watts to reap the rewards and for Jesse to at least have something go right for us this year. Collingwood will want to wreck it for us but I hope at the 25 minute mark at the final term we have an enjoyable lead and can sit back and smile we are playing finals footy.

Id just leave Jesse in the square all day. Dont bother running up the ground. a few times last week we got the ball, looked up and there was no one in our forward line to kick it to. Just leave him there.

B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta HB: Nathan Jones, Tom McDonald, Jayden Hunt C: Jordan Lewis, Christian Petracca, Christian Salem HF: Clayton Oliver, Jesse Hogan, Jake Melksham F: Jeff Garlett, Cam Pedersen, James Harmes Foll: Max Gawn, Dom Tyson, Bernie Vince I/C: Jack Watts, Angus Brayshaw, Mitch Hannan, Alex Neal-Bullen Emg: Josh Wagner, Declan Keilty, Corey Maynard In: Salem, Watts Out: Billy Stretch, Josh Wagner Apart from Jack Viney missing, that is probably our strongest team. I like the inclusion of Salem and Watts. It does strengthen our team. Lets see how much Watts wants to keep his place in the team. I expect him to respond well. But well done to Goodwin who just treated Jack as any other player, didnt care that he was a former number 1 pick. He did what he thought was best for the team. Just looking at the line up, if we do make finals and Viney comes back who would make way for him? I honestly could not look at that 22 and say that player should be out.

Collingwood are going to dead set be ready to knock us out of the finals. also Howe and Dunn will want to knock us over as well. Ed said on his breakfast show on monday how much the pies want to win and maybe knock us out. We have to be switched on and ready to go from the 1st bounce.

Jonsey u are a star. Nice finish by jesse

Gus to pedo brilliant

Great pass by nealbullen. Come on Melbourne. Get going

Goodwin get them back on track will you. I want a massive 3rd quarter. Finals on the line boys. How much do you want it.

Surely watts or salem is a better option than wagner at the moment

Gee how goodwas that kick out by rich.

Giving away dumb 50s doesn't help either

This is not just going to happen Melbourne. U will have to win this. Fight for it.

They are getting it out far too easily out of our backline. Goodwin will get us back on track at 1/4 time
