Big honour to receive your jumper from Junior. Play well Jimmy J.

Watching Howe trudge off the ground looking forlornly at the scoreboard. Warms the heart.

Thankfully we have BT to remind us of the longer quarters with constant references to how much more the teams are scoring.

[censored] you Richmond. Why do they do the little things so well? Doesn’t even take talent. But they do them better than anyone. Dusty is an absolute freak though.

Oscar becoming a gun forward would be the most Melbourne thing ever.

I haven’t seen every game but the North game was the slickest performance I’ve seen this year. I said in that game day thread that we would be giving the flag a real crack. Yesterday was more of a contested game where we pummeled the opposition into submission If we bring yesterday’s effort and the skill execution that we showed against North, we can and will beat anyone.

That has to be the base level for the rest of the season. The pies made us look second rate and will do again if we drop anywhere below that level. But smashing a top 4 side is promising signs.

What is with the lack of inanity and exclamation marks? Has picket been trolling DLand this whole time? I’m confused, but thankful. Cheers picket.

Someone else (Axis of Bob maybe?) posted our conversion from entries being basically the same as the Bulldogs. And we scored well against Richmond. Our failing against the Dogs was in the middle where we had no personnel. Well, that and our ball movement being noticeably sloppier than the opposition but that’s par for the course.

Nibbler’s value has significantly increased with rotations dropping to 75 and the return to full length quarters. The boy can run as far as the day is long. Couple that with what looks to be a spell of strong form and It wouldn’t surprise me to see him playing the majority of games this year. This game is must win IMO. If we don’t, it’s not an overstatement to say that Goodwin immediately goes on notice. He’s essentially done that to himself by stating in so many words that top 4 is the pass mark. We simply ,must start the season on our home ground against Freo with a W.

Yep, I’ll save my outrage for when we get smashed with a full strength side.

Fascinating stuff. Maclure is the single laziest blockhead in the football media. He blatantly puts nil effort into his job and instead trots out the same football cliches as a substitute for saying anything remotely insightful. And he actually gets away with it because our collective standards aren’t higher and he was part of a successful side in the 80s.

Poor goal kicking is poor football.

Christ. Finally.

Deserved scoreline. Outmuscled and outclassed today.

Can’t make the distance with the kicks and it’s killing us.

Any danger of us getting a HTB?

When Daisy is kicking it straight to an oppo jumper inside D50 you have to think it may not be our day.

Let’s face it. They’ve been better in every facet so far.

Following the men’s example. Millionaires or paupers. Nothing in between.

Should’ve won last week’s game twice over. It’s smashed pie time.

Spot on. There seems to be a gulf between the older and newer sides. 7 of the current top 8 are inaugural clubs. The exception is North, funnily enough.

Go Dees ?

Looks like the “if you can’t dispose of the ball legally just drop it, it’s all good” rule applies in AFLW as well,

We are noticeably cleaner than most other sides. Well structured behind the ball. Leading disposal getter in the league. Could be a real shot this year.
