I wish Eddie would shut up and go away.

Couldn't agree more.

My son is a North supporter and he was very happy when North offloaded Cam to us. He said he was overweight and lazy. My son now retracts that statement and cannot believe how well he has been playing. I am so rapt for Cam that he has achieved this milestone as a Dee. I also love a good family man and if he was slogging it out at Bunnings to support his young family and training for us then good on him. Hope he has a great game.

Tempting..... but the other half might not be too happy so I think I will take a rain check!

That vision had me in tears. Neale Daniher - Essendon might claim you as one of theirs but you will always be a Demon to me.

Top guy on and off the field.

Such a great feeling. So proud of the boys. A great four quarters and they didn't give up when the dogs got momentum in the third quarter.

I love you Bernie

Great goal

What the hell is happening here?

Exciting last quarter - could have gone any way.

I always thought HL was a top bloke. I think his action with Col Garland was only supportive. Col strikes me as an emotional guy. I think I can recall the time Mark Neeld was sacked, Col was filmed standing away from the rest of the playing group at training looking like the end of the world had come. It must have been really difficult for our backline over the past decade. I really hope he doesn't leave at the end of the season. I always feel more confident seeing him walk down to the backline at the beginning of the game (as well as Tommy Mac now).

GWS slaughtering Carlton.

Hug everyone sitting around me at the G. Scream loudly, jump up and down, run to the boundary and hug as many players as I can (watch out Bernie and HL), sing its a Grand Old Flag on the train ride home.

Thanks ND for the hope you gave the supporters during your time as our coach. I will never forget your last game as our leader - I sobbed for hours that Friday night. I wish you and your family all the best and hope we can find a cure for this horrendous disease sooner than later.

Likewise - I will be there with my niece who is a Hawthorn supporter. She always ends up buying me some hot jam donuts as she feels sorry for me! Just as a side note, the little boy running through the Melbourne banner this week is Hugo - a mad Melbourne supporter. I think he is about five. He is the nephew of Glenn Lovett. I will be cheering him on - he is so excited.

What did Chris Dawes say?

My mum has breast cancer and hail, rain or storm would not stop me from attending this match. I was on the ground for the Pink Lady game last year (I think it was 2014) with 1000's of other men and woman. I got tapped on the shoulder by a lady who I grew up with and went to kindergarten and primary school with. I have not seen her since I was about 15. She does not follow Melbourne but attends this game every year as she was diagnosed with breast cancer in her late 20's. Its a small world and I am amazed how this disease , despite how terrible it is, brings people together regardless of whom they support.

Was always a fan of Todd's. Whatever he supposedly has or has not done correctly, he was still a great player and contributor to our club. The big plus is he fathered Jack! I will be watching tonight.

Just got back from the game. I thought we were OK in the first half but the final quarter was terrible. Freemantle were just bigger, more confident with their disposal and played smarter football. I also agree with the above posters - the umpiring was shocking. I think Freemantle will be hard to beat this year.

Poor Andrew Swallow is having a tough night.
