monoccular

Head pulled off in front of goal - no free. Selwood gets them every time. That smug pretty boy umpire - who is he. Something to do with St.Kilda?

I loved all his touches at the weekend but particularly his third goal - absolutely classical small forward crumbing, which we have so sorely lacked: seeing the high ball coming in, evading his opponent, snapping up the expected spill from the pack .... BANG!!!❤️❤️

A Melbourne player setting blocks and not just sulking. Would never happen in years gone by. This is a positive in my mind.

And how in any reasonable world was that not holding the ball??

IF we switched on 4quarters every week we would win every week. Doing better but still a way to go.

Yet another goal from a Selwood throw

.... and Frosty to win it in the dying seconds, in one of his gazelle goal kicking moments running off Hawkins (left appealing for a non existent free) who then pretends to chase him and does a hamstring.

.... and Selwood for staging. What an absolute whinger.

It seems that the players are prepared to back and show confidence in each other, and make second, third and fourth efforts (Kosi in particular). Improved kicking for goal however remains elusive.

Thought it was Saints at Docklands.

Unable to watch the game but good old Ruth remains on the list, it appears.

Is Ruth still clogging our list, or are we Ruthless? This quarter will tell if old Ruth remains a list clogger.

Hard to do when there are no reserve grade games this weekend ? See above.

Provided we keep winning does it really matter??

Maybe the Saints really aren’t much chop.

Need to learn to cope. After all to be at the top you need to beat those below. A bit like saying the team that finishes top has had an easier draw, because they only play teams below then, whilst the 18th only play teams above them ?

Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Sure knows how to get to the ball though. .

The only thing better than thrashing Colonwood is beating them after the siren - better still if it is controversial.

Except that there are apparently NO VFL games this weekend. ???

Agree. IF switched on manually should be a big win; but complacency would spell disaster.

Ain’t hindsight a wonderful thing. Remind me, how many clubs passed over multiple times on James Hird and Chris Grant??? As I recall maybe 4 or 5 times each?

So true — even pre COVID it was second rate, with shorter season plus byes, but now it lets down the emerging and returning players big time. Haven’t been able to see the Saints game yet, but by several accounts Jackson’s run in the ruck was very important in turning the tide around.

AFL under Gil and SHocking only seem interested in the 'elite' grade .... however, supporting at very least the 'seconds' is surely an integral part of maintaining quality at the top level.

What a joke the AFL administration (or maladministration) have become. Make up rules on the run, then allow a favourite to play whilst suspended. (Remind me, what is SHockings team affiliation?) High farce.

31 scoring shots to 18. A lucky escape despite the disparity.
