Jack's not smiling this week - thank God.

Agree 100%.

I feel shattered. No other way to describe the feeling.

So, so sad. I cannot believe he is gone. One of my all time favourite stars. Loved the tribute on the Jimmy Fallon show last night. O Captain, my Captain - you will be missed. RIP

Drove down Punt Road about an hour and a half ago and thought I saw Riley at the training ground doing sprints with two other blokes and a Melbourne official. After basking in the sun for three weeks and feeling like a long distance supporter, I thought I should make the effort today.

I agree - that was a great response. I have hated Hawthorn intensely since Gary Buckenara kicked the goal after the siren in 1987. Every Hawthorn supporter I know is arrogant and condescending. Most of them have only been supporters for the past 20 years - not lifelong supporters like most Demon people I know. I also hope that if they make the finals they get trounced by another club. I will be supporting whoever is their opponent.

Thanks - I'm getting the picture. Definitely should have stayed for desert.

I'm overseas and it's late at night. I've rushed back from dinner to tune in. Can someone give me a short synopsis of the game to date. I gather from a quick look at some of the comments, I should have not skipped desert....

Happy to oblige. I will start a fire if that's what it takes!! I will be onto it first thing in the morning.

I need to go on holidays more often. Last year in Italy, I visited so many churches, lit candles and prayed Paul Roos would coach our club. ( and i am not even Catholic!) It was announced the following week! I am currently in Mexico - it's Monday morning and I just read the Age online - about to cartwheel with joy down the beach at this great news!! go Dees.

I take spin classes Bobby but would never cycle here in Melbourne. The roads are crazy where I live. Perth must be a more cycle friendly place than Melbourne despite all of our bike lanes!

Fantastic news - well done Jess. I aspired to complete a marathon but only ever finished a half. Had foot surgery three years ago and advised never to run again. Must be a Melbourne thing!

My one eyed Collingwood supporter husband agrees 100% with that comment.

Oh no..... Now I'm sad )-:

OMG - listening from USA. Go Dees!!!

Top bloke on and off the field. Good news at the end of an average day.

Very happy to read this news. I like the kid - he gives 100% and will only continue to improve under Paul Roos. He makes a few errors but who doesn't? Its been the hardest job to be a defender at the MFC over the past few seasons. Now I have heard this, I am not fussed either way about Frawley.

I have a friend who is in Darwin for work and off to see the game tomorrow. He is obviously a bit behind the times as he had his photo taken with Colin Sylvia and sent it to me as he thought I might like it!!

I loved Neita and I loved that era of football. A big fan of the Rev as well. I bawled like a baby that night after his last game. I know it was time for him to move on but I was very upset at the same time. I would love to have Neita down on the forward line today. Imagine having a forward in the red and blue who regularly kicked 7 - 8 goals. I still dislike Essendon with a passion and always will.

I live approximately 5kms from the MCG. Would love to live in the country though - had enough of city life.

I don't know where to begin - so disappointed. We didn't deserve to win.

Agree. His heart is not in it.
