Yes pick 31 for Watts, which was considered unders and we were paying some of his salary, which we then used to pick up Fritsch. Aside from that running Queens Birthday goal it could be the best thing that Watts did for us.

I understand that most people think it was accidental on Hawkins behalf (I’m not so sure given the blokes record) but even if it was unintentional isn’t there some duty of care from Hawkins not to throw a wild elbow? The fact that it no doubt caused concussion plus a head fracture surely he should be up at the tribunal? Personally I’d give him 3 weeks but that could be because of my Geelong hate

I wouldnt swap

Prediction: The players have set themselves for this match and will be up and about early. We will win this game without too much fuss. We will be 4/0 and there will be a lot a positive media about us during the week. We will all feel pretty good about ourselves and our undefeated team. We will then be second to the ball and get rolled by a more committed Hawthorn next week.

Now just need Carlton to get rolled

Unfortunately the AFL have just rezoned Dandenong as part of the Sydney Swans natural catchment area.

Do you think the selectors know that Hanks isn’t a forward and Zanker isn’t a ruck? Perhaps when they win a couple more finals Tyla and Eden can take the cup and explain to them where they play.

I hope the MFC footy dept had a quiet word with the AFL umpires during the week about Oliver been held at every stoppage.

So Geelong are missing 6(?) from their best side including two top 5 players in Danger and Cameron. I have no idea who Francis Evans is but apparently he is best 18. Anyone know more of him? Hopefully we make the most of their outs.

The Kilmacud Crokes and the Foxrock Cabinteely!! Love it. Makes the Melbourne Demons and the Sydney Swans sound positively dull in comparison

Sorry but, allowing for a week in the VFL, what round is Ben Brown supposed to debut?

Fair enough to say it’s not champagne football but still a good game of footy. We are the far better side to date but I’m still nervous as hell

I had to Google but you are bang on DZ. 41.20 over his career which is very handy accuracy wise. I’ll swap my vote to Hunt

According to the Before the Bounce podcast Mick Stinnear has coached the most winning games of any AFLW coach with 25. His overall win/loss record is 25/12 going at a very healthy 68%. As a general comparison (and I emphasise general) Clarkson and Hardwick go at 60% and 58% respectively. Goodwin is 49%

Great to hear from you GFF. Yes Goldie would be among the first picked each week and improves each game. Unbelievable to think that she is new to the game. I thought McEvoy would get a run this week. She has been consistently kicking goals in the lower league. Shame to hear she may not return.

Game day and I’m really looking forward to it. I can’t decide between which team we are a). We beat this team on their home patch just two weeks ago. We are the form team of the comp. We will have the home crowd. We should win ....... so like countless Melbourne teams before them they are bound to disappoint or b). This Melbourne team has belief, a great structure and a hard edge that will see them come out on top.

Spargo

Normal sized mids must hate coming up against her whilst ours must love playing with her. Does Rnd 6-9 form = All Australian form ?

Freo had a Carltonesque draw. They played Gold Coast, GWS and West Coast twice. They did sneak past the Blues by 4 points but have lost to Brisbane, North and us along the way. In fact the only top 6 side Freo have beaten were Adelaide when the Crows kicked 1.7 all the way back in Rnd 3. Of course anything can happen but after 2 losses on the trot Freo won’t be brimming with confidence. With them having to travel on consecutive weeks the game will be there for us to win.

Goodwin is in his fifth year of senior coaching and has been with us since the end of 2014. He has an awesome list that has dreadfully underperformed. We should be aiming for a top 6 finish. The start to the season has been great but it is well and truly time his team stepped up

How many did she beat? https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/890683/aflw-rd-9-hanks-kicks-a-cracker-early-in-the-fourth?videoId=890683&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1616834193001

Melbourne men win to go 2/0 Melbourne women win to guarantee a home final Bombers get flogged So aside from an umpiring malfunction in Geelong it has been the perfect weekend

Bloody good win Kozzie is special.

How good was that!!

Yes we have a few passengers forward; Bannon, Cunningham Parry. Need them all to clunk a couple of marks
