So many players will be looking for rocks to crawl under when they review the game vision tomorrow.

Watts back to the soft player that we used to loathe so badly. Lays half-arsed tackles, stages for frees, doesn't contest marks etc, etc. A terrible game from him.

We are missing Gawn and Hogan so very, very badly.

So many passengers.

Just had a squiz at the individual stats and it appears we've got a good chunk of the team with a heap of room to improve. If blokes like Petracca can get into the game we should be good to bring it home.

Cheers guys.

Just tuned in and they mentioned something about Oliver. Is he okay?

It comes down to my tipping for me. Was looking pretty shaky this arvo but am sitting at 4 - 1.

Umps doing their best to award the points to CW.

How the feck can they play super slow HD highlights at quarter breaks but scores reviews are at three frames per minute?

So you think last weekends win wasn't 'profound'?

Dangerfield having a heap of it. Only just stripped him of my SC captaincy too.

Listened to an interview on ABC Perth yesterday regards a new device to measure the brains activity following a concussion which unfortunately they haven't put up on their website. However, here is an article from the SMH which is very similar in content. The Concussionometer Also, an article from last year about Justin Clarke (Brisbane Lions) retirement from the game. I found this to be an excellent read if you're wondering or need a reminder about just how damaging head knocks can be in sport. Head knocks: How concussion hits athletes

Is that when we can sign up to and start trolling other clubs supporters forums?

I voted too early to tell because it factually and mathematically is. When we're a locked in and confirmed final 8 team I will be start dreaming.

Maybe, but for some it clearly doesn't work.

Not trying very hard to conceal your identity, Titus.. umm, I mean bingers.

Isn't there a bit of a form line that the first 4 names are usually the ins?

Looks as though Melksham in for Wagner will be the only change. Don't entirely agree with that considering Melky has had a week off due to suspension even though he had leather poisoning the week prior.

If we lose to North this weekend it'll be back to lamenting that we're still the same old Melbourne.

I think you need a Valium.

At this stage of the season, there is no real clearly dominant teams. Get a fit and healthy list leading in to September and anything can happen.

It's a much shorter string on the yo-yo.

But we have. It's been spoken about ad-nauseum that we've only really dropped 4 qtrs for the year that has unfortunately resulted in three narrow defeats and one moderate one - 2 of them with a skeleton crew on the bench that Richmond and Geelong have clearly benefited from. A yo-yo team is quite wide of the mark. The Daniher years were yo-yo but not this season.

Brown's been the sort of player that in the past we don't pay enough attention to and tears us a new one and we all wonder how the hell it can happen. Frost and Brown are probably more athletically matched so I like your thinking here.
