There should have been 2 holding the ball decisions against Richmond there

My god how's rance and his flopping for frees.

Looking forward watching this kid Wright play. also I would love to see Rance get beaten 1 on 1 tonight. Bolton has to make him accountable and now allow him to be the 3rd man up all the time.

Im happy to see the cats beat the pies and Im hoping gws beat essenscum. That would make my weekend, after a melbourne win of course.

That conference system is just so wrong. I hope we never see it in the mens game. I mean our section the top 4 teams have 7 6 5 and 4 wins. We have won 4 and finished 4th. Meanwhile Carlton sits on top with 3. But something amuses me about nth not making the finals. Maybe its because they are nth, or maybe its because they were the new team and got the good players in.

Joe Daniher was there because they showed him on sport tonight talking about his calf injurythat will keep him out for numerous weeks which gave me a laugh.

Did may get a week just because of his record? If we appeal do we risk 2 weeks or is it a free shot at the tribunal?

Did goodwin talk to the crowd? Maxy Im sure would have been a hit with everyone.

Well I can't get there so if someone can just give us an update on the injuries that occurred yesterday and also can someone ask may what the hell he was thinking with that so called bump yesterday? Just anything else about the day also. Thanks.

I actually enjoyed watching that on tv tonight. We should have been much further ahead at 1/4 time. But well done to Tegan Cunningham who kicked the winning goal. But gee there was no way that free kick count should have been that far apart.

Look at least it gives our coaches something to work on and think about what needs changing. Also we have to remember slot jones, viney and melksham into that team and we look a whole lot better. I may have forgotten over the pre season if something happened to Mitch but why wasnt Hannan playing today?

what why?

So how does may look?

Aaah you can tell footy is back when you come on here, players are getting bagged, umps are copping it and we are losing.

Nah the 186 game. But Im still a bit disappointed the AFL put us there again. This better be the last year. Surely our supporter base is strong enough now to get good crowds at the G.

I haven't been back to that ground since that horrible day. Can you just rock up and buy a ticket at the gate?

Not sure if this has been pointed out but with Jesse gone what does Robbo do with his marking comp at 1/4 time now? He had howies hangers then Hogans heroes now what. It seems to be a curse. Hames paints have been a good sponsor and this gave them some promotion.

Broke the news to my 6 year old niece last night that Jesse has left melbourne after she wanted to name her toy puppy teddy after him. She actually burst into tears and said no I don't want Jesse to leave. I want him to play for melbourne. She cheered up a little bit after we told her jonsey and max were still there.

Look he just needs to tone down the aggression in the sense we don't want him getting suspended all the time. But he will be a great addition to our backline. He is a mature player who can hold his own down back. He was on that trade talk show on ch9 last night and said what stood out was goodwin talking to him about what Melbourne and the coaching group can do for his game personally and for him. Said that's what he was most impressed with. Anyway I look forward to see him do his stuff next year.

Could he play as a crumbing forward or swap from midfield to forward? I think he will be pretty good for us.

Can we blame Mark Neeld for this. He got us Jesse, got us all excited about the nest big superstar forward. Look at least next year we won't have to put up with will he or won't he re-sign. He would have gone home, so at least we got the deal done now. Also after Melbourne games no longer will we have to read about his bad body language and him sooking on this site. But I wish Jesse all the best. He has been through more at the age of 23 then most of us have in a lifetime. He has lost his Dad and had a cancer scare and had injuries on the way. But good look under Ross Lyon. He has gone from being under a calm coach to Ross who seems to be demanding, gets angry and expects a lot from his players.

Im happy with this. It gives Max more of a break and this guy is massive so he can go forward to. It means hopefully weiderman and Tom know longer have to do ruckwork and can stay down forward.

Well I just hope that this doesn't backfire on us and we end up losing Jesse and don't land May. By the way we have Oscar, Hibbard, Frost and will get Lever back so where will May fit? I can see why they would want an answer from Hogan because next year it will all be about him and will he won't he re-sign with melbourne but I really don't want him to go because I just fear if something happens to Tom then we have to rely on weiderman. Yes he had a good back half but could he step up and take the lead. In saying that I did think at some stage Jesse would go home. I think now we could cope with his loss where as a few years ago it would have felt like the world may have ended.

Look yesterday we needed the Lewis who played really well against geelong and hawthorn, but yesterday we got the undisciplined Jordan. The one who gave away a dumb free kick in the 1st quarter resulting in a goal, gave away 50's butchered the ball, yes I know he wasn't the only one but he is meant to know better. I suspect he may go on for another year though, or maybe he thinks he has had enough.

This sums up the night.
