Huh?

I don't know why they didn't put Stringer into the centre after half time. He was doing nothing forward. I only saw him on the ball in the last 15 mins

So he should. Rumored to be on $1.5mill per year

For the love of God, please put Petty back next week!

My hat goes off to Nibbler. Merritt could have been so damaging, but was kept reasonably quiet, particularly in the 2nd and 3rd quarters Nibbler's fitness and ability to put on pressure was immense

Very Melbourne-like result

Petty: either drop him or play him in the back line. He's not a forward or a ruck

He's been s**thouse

Bloody McKay

Perkins having a very good game. Need to dampen that

To support his big lisp

I belive he had a dislocated finger last week too

Much better quarter. Stopped Ess run on the outside, lots of pressure on the man causing the fumble. JVR much better in the ruck that quarter. Not getting pushed off the ruck contest

I give up, have no effing idea what the rules of the game are. The umpiring is out of this world (or out of their rrrse)

Physically taxing game. Its a hard slog

Need more pressure on their midfielders, they've got too much time, creating overlap too easily And at least try to break even in the ruck contests. Petty getting pushed around like a rag doll so far

Anyone claiming that Max's ruck work isn't very good need look no further than how ineffective Petty is as a ruck. Getting a bath by Draper

I have a single lev 2 Northern stand ticket for tonight, in front of Betty Cuthbert bar. Should be undercover, depending on the wind PM if you want it, free

Did you get a prem guest pass? Let me know if you'd like one for Northern Stand lev 2, as I have a spare

You do realise it is possible that after tonight they may jump ahead of us without having kicked a ball today? 😯

Saw him sitting in the Northern Stand many times, chatting with families. Very decent fella, happy to talk to anyone Now a primary teacher playing footy down at Philip Island, if my memory serves me correctly

Could be. But I doubt playing ruck will do Petty's foot the world of good. A risk worth taking? As an aside, I noticed Disco took some of the ruck duties in the third and last quarter vs WCE. Maybe that's the thinking while Max is out

Bowey into the ruck please

You're a very sensible Melbourne supporter, radar. My grandmother would've complimented your tastes It's like high tea in your row!

Mate, sometimes is best not to post anything, rather than revealing ignorance
