NON MFC: Round 06
Commentators going on and on about the Dawk's inconsistency. Well, what do you expect when the side is packed with inconsistent b-graders that other clubs were happy to off-load? I can't understand why Dawkthorn have escaped media scrutiny. They've treaded water for five years. They don't have one a-grader (with the possible exception of Sicily) in the club that they've bought through from drafting for 10 years. They are in deep long-term trouble IMHO.

NON MFC: Round 06
Frawley is incredible one dimensional. Beaten in a one-on-one by a good ordinary battler just now. Frost his usual headless chock impression.

Garry Lyon: "Melbourne Supporters are Gutted"
Agree with pretty much everything that's been said here. I'll say one thing though, Lyon and Derm didn't say anything that hasn't been said on this forum for months by well credential-led judges in a much more coherent manner. Well done 'Landers.

My 3 word player analysis V Richmond
Gawn - Still learning leadership Viney - Mindless repeat offender Hibbert - Best game recently May - Does not lead Fritsch - Protects his spot Oliver - Clearly uncoachable player Petracca - Goodwin's only positive Salem - What went wrong? Brayshaw - Lazy, careless, comatose Hannan - Glen Iris interchange Langdon - Who, where, what? Harmes - Viney the second vandenBerg - Good at Ainslie Tomlinson - Giant's win trade McDonald - Captain of reserves Pickett - Too inexperienced ATM Lockhart - Battler and limited Lever - 11th game back Rivers - Worth persisting with Smith - Oh deary me Melksham - One good year Hunt - Little boy lost

What they're saying down at Punt Road
Post Game Oliver is useless when he's not throwing it. Oliver is a worse kick than Treloar. CLAYTON LOLIVER! Can always back in Oliver's skills. Thank god we thrashed that pissweak football club. Haven’t lost to them since Rance buried Watts skull into the turf. Cotch will retire at the end of the year. Jacks still sooking too much to the umps for my liking. Melbourne are terrible. A top team in form would beat us. Melbourne are an absolute rabble of a football club, what a pathetic joke. They need to be taken of life support. The Dees to their credit threw the kitchen sink at us. Balta is the heir to Alex Rance. We played a lot better today but if that had been Geelong, Brissie, Suns or even Port we probably get smacked.

GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Richmond
You're a real clueless supporter MF-C. It's obvious Mate. Tomlinson will dominate on a wing and slot 3 on the run from 55 out. Max is brilliant when he drifts forward and deadly from 35 metres out. There's another 2. You clearly haven't taken any notice of Hannan's form. 3 more goals there. Viney's long leg after he bursts out of the centre . . . kicking it 55 metres over the cluster. Pencil in anther 2 goals from him. Tommy's virtually been unstoppable over the last 18 months. So there's another 5 in the bag. So far I'm up to 15 goals without trying. Seriously Bro, what's your problem???

Hey Macca . . . totally agree on T-Mac. Not convinced at all. Also need major improvement from Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney et al . . . then a top four side. ?

What they're saying down at Punt Road
When I was a kid . . . back in the 1970's . . . The Deez supporters would gather in the centre of the MCG after we'd beaten the Tiges and sing the following song: Hooray for Richmond, hooray at last, Hooray for Richmond, for they're a horses a&#e. Don't be mistaken, don't be mislead, They're not the horse's a&#e, they're the horse's head!

Melbourne is not very good this year. Dees by plenty. Our side will be jet lagged. Having Rance right now would be massive. He was a jugger naught when we were a middle of the ladder team. Melbourne's Grand final this week. I'd say Dees will bring in either Weideman or that spud from Essendon this week to try take advantage. It'd be nice if they played Preuss again. Demons to Bomb out of the finals race. They'll probably thrash our midfield. Our midfield basically has lost every battle so far this season and Melbourne's one is able to get the ball. Their issue is what they do post-clearance and heading into the forward 50, so we'll just rely on their tendency to misfire in the forward line or the midfield for the win. Reckon we match up well against the Demons. They're not overly quick like the Saints, who beat us for pace last week. Fritsch is under rated and probably their most dangerous forward. Anyone else forget the dees existed? last i heard about them was way back in the nab cup when everyone was hyping that fat bloke for playing his first good game in years. Reckon this could get ugly. Dees by 47. Tomlinson and Langdon know how to find space and the footy. Let's hope Langdon gets 30 possessions, his Disposal is Sh!te. Melbourne games in the past have been pivotal at times. The McMahon Dustin Martin Cup, The Tommy Hafey debacle. Anzac Eve 2017 and I reckon from memory we lost a last round against them to finish ninth. Sunday's got that same feel about it. I hate losing to those entitled [censored]. Always say Brayshaw is a bellwether player for Dees. When he plays well they are up and about, like in 2018, he was third in Brownlow. Melb. last year resorted to a lot of push and shove. This year since the restart they've had two close games for a win and a loss. They'll be thinking they are in form and we are off the boil.

TEAMS: Rd 05 vs Richmond
With the fourth best defence in the comp in 2020, I respectfully suggest that Jake Lever isn't the problem at Melbourne. And this contribution to the backline's performance after only 11 games back from a knee reconstruction. And it's not as though Melbourne has had a high percentage success rate with first round picks over the years. With our record in this area I was happy to trade two first round picks for a 6"5, 22 year old player yet to reach his prime. He showed in his time at Adelaide to be one of the premier backmen in the comp. According to the All Australian selectors, he was in the best 40 players going around in 2017 and in the best 22 players under 22 years old in both 2016 and 2017. I'm pretty happy with our deal on Lever quite frankly. Yes, we paid with two first round picks, but right now I'm not slashing my wrists over it. In fact, I was delighted with it in 2017 and I'm just as happy now. And I'm just curious, how many notable and credible ex-players or commentators have been highly critical of Lever's footy ability or the deal Melbourne did to get him to the Club?
