P-man

Fox just had rankings over the last 6 weeks for ability as a team to: not concede once the ball enters D50 stop coast to coast transition win the ball back between the arcs apply pressure. Melbourne ranks first for all of them. Far and away the best team without the ball.

Jon Ralph on Fritsch: “He’s got 46 goals and surely is All Australian”. Interesting. Can’t say I’ve seen his name mentioned much in AA media chatter.

6. Fritta 5. Gawn 4. Jackson 3. Trac 2. Petty 1. Rivers HM: Langdon and Lever. Brown was important early. Salem’s stats hugely flattered him. He wasn’t great by his standards.

Call out the subject matter of comments themselves, by all means. Making a sweeping judgement on the negativity of gameday threads is inane. Negativity is a given every week. If everyone did what you did the thread would be clogged with judgmental rubbish. We are Melbourne supporters ffs. We’re going to get antsy.

Let’s try this again. To the people who feel the need to comment on how negative the gameday thread is. Yeah, ya don’t say. Gameday threads are full of venting. Some of it mindless. Some of it ridiculous. Always have been. Always will be. If you can’t accept that, just don’t open them. Easy. Casting judgement on them just makes you look like a turnip. And if you really want a gameday safe space full of sunshine and rainbows, go nuts. Just keep your “gee this place is so negative” drivel out of the gameday threads. It’s an emotional game.

7 of the best for Fritta.

Yeah he’s not the first person to call him the Fritsch magnet guys.

Petty has been very good today.

Is Fritta actually starting to bulk up or am I seeing things?

I’m thankful for alcohol today.

Harmes’ kicking on the run is putrid. No other word for it.

Dogga has everything needed to be a superstar. What a player.

100%.

Clarry needs to stop talking about what an ordinary kick he is. It’s becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We have a bloke called Nathan Jones who goes alright too.

Seedsman is a good player but making him look this good is a tad embarrassing.

Gotta love hearing “Yeah Dogga!” ringing out across the G.

Love Spargs. Never doubt the great little man.

Phew. Was sure we’d concede a goal in Melbourne time then.

Brown actually has 3 goals before quarter time. Pity the video ump squibbed it.

[censored] off. If that isn’t enough evidence then when is there enough?

Brown’s hands really are sublime.

Big let off for Smith then. Poor defending.

Hipwood out for the year. Bruce out for the year. Stewart out for the year. I’m doing my best not to get too excited about key players going down for the other contenders but it’s not easy.

I like Leppa. His Richmond bias saddens me.
