What

Stranger things have happened. At least its in Perth, and maybe the Dockers will want to avenge their woeful performance vs the Cats.

Frost has improved out of sight. Even his kicks have been hitting targets and hes lowering the eyes. Looks like a new player.

I am laughing now. The name Meth Coast never fails to deliver a chuckle.

http://www.afl.com.au/brownlow-medal/predictor Gawny up to 21 votes... Oliver on 18. Would be nice if the umps recognized ruckmen for once... Gawn and Grundy could duke it out for the medal.

Well done to Mitch. Took his opportunity with both hands and was a key factor in the win that got us to the finals for the first time in 12 years. 13 touches, 6 marks, 3 goals, great pressure and almost a couple of huge grabs. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets votes from the coaches. A dangerous player who will only get better. ?

Garlett isnt coming in.. he was woeful vs the Swans and from all reports, woeful at Casey. Doubt he will even be on the list next year. We have enough small-mid creative forwards anyway... Hannan, Kent and Melksham a nice little trio indeed.

I bet they aren't laughing now. Melksham is a bloody star. Thanks Essendruggos!!

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/08/20/injured-demons-skipper-viney-will-be-cherry-ripe-for-first-final-goodwin/ Great news. Selection for the first final will be very interesting, especially if we beat GWS and all the mids perform well.

It reads so beautifully when laid out like that.. almost like a novel. *sheds a tear*

Being the first team to ever lose to Freo in a final set us back 12 years. It was shameful. The current equivalent of that would be the first team to ever lose to Gold Coast in a final. Pray we are not that team or we might get wiped out for another decade.

You got those two backwards. Petracca was fumbly and nervous..... Tyson played a very good game, his 4th on the trot.

@picket fence also says Gaff has no chance of coming to Melbourne. Thats a very good sign for us.

2018 was the year we finally broke through and made the finals... the Best and Fairest will be a very special night this year. We have had a lot of really good performers, it will be interesting to see how it all pans out. Oliver and Gawn the clear favourites to take home the trophy. Here's my top 10 ........ Winner - Max Gawn Runner up - Clayton Oliver Third - Angus Brayshaw Fourth - Tom McDonald Fifth - Jake Melksham Sixth - Jesse Hogan Seventh - James Harmes Eight - Nathan Jones Ninth - Neville Jetta Tenth - Christian Salem

Talk of resting players is crazy..... a win here will mean a final vs Geelong at the MCG, a loss will possibly mean playing GWS again up in Sydney with the confidence they will take out of just having rolled us 12 or so days earlier and with Toby Greene and others coming back. We must hit this game at full steam. The season aint over yet!

This is irrelevant as hes out obviously, but Lever would be so nice to have in the side in September. We can still win the flag though, and we will.

We have probably locked in a few Friday night games for 2019 now. Very exciting as we will finally get to see Roaming Brian in the Dees rooms.

wrong thread.... damn you Jnrmac

nah not me im hardcore

So glad he is back. Have always liked him and his early season form in the seniors was very good, even if only for a couple of games before he got hurt. And how about that clutch goal.. must have felt amazing for him.

That is amazing.

Port beats Essendon by 201 points (240-39) Melbourne lose to GWS by 100 points (160-60) We would miss the finals by 0.1%

West Coast supporters complaining about umpiring when they have a +7 free kick average, by far the best in the comp and get handed a few wins every season from the home cooking. Their lack of self awareness is incredible.

The team song.. sweet relief. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2018-08-19/team-song-melbourne

They are the absolute worst. They boo absolutely anything.
