Harmes- dispose straight away

nibbler- squibbed all night

Need to kick the ball low if small forward line. Need another tall for structure in forward line. Harmes is not a back-up ruckman! Poor coaching effort - no plan B. Very few stood up after 1/4 time - did they drink their own bathwater? Really poor effort. Better fire up against Richmond!

For those who are interstate - thanks for the updates everyone

We beat Norf

tracs power in tight situations 

i got to watch it all in peace!

I seem to remember O’Brien? (Tall orange haired dude) taking lots of marks last year in their forward line. Think we may need another tall - pedo I guess

Harsh on Salem

Bloody fantastic to beat Norf and the umpires - so sick of the soft frees Norf get, yet we don’t get one for same issue. I hate Norf!

Thanks for all the photos Saty, Hardtack & Lil Tacker - great for those who can’t get there.

Macca's started in Melb in 1970 on the corner of Springvale Rd Blackburn Rd, in Mt Waverley. I remember getting food poisoning there.

Sorry - it was actually Springvale Rd and High St Rd Glen Waverley- that store you mentioned was built much later as it was a BP Petrol Station at that time. (I grew up in the area).

Reminds me of 'Manchild' (Tapscott) - shows glimpses but inconsistent or injured?

Comments about kicking disposal efficiency are concerning- imagine the outbursts on here if we picked him up with a kicking efficiency of less than 45%?

Thanks Col - all the best with Coaching. Glad you are still with the Dees

All the best Jack. Thanks for some good memories - especially the goal against 'Poor old Collingwood will Never" on QB this year.

At least it is 31 which was Ron's famous number 

In my opinion Dom needs to take the first option - its when he doesn't that he gets caught holding the ball (often) or does a 'nothing' handball to someone under pressure. If Clarkson employed a kicking coach as rumoured some time ago, perhaps we should do the same, then someone like Dom who gets the ball often would be more damaging and there would be no need for this thread. He's a keeper for me if he fixes his disposal.

Great Table - some games numbers need updating - Maynard - 1, Tim Smith - 2?

For those suggesting Salem is back in - According to MMM he certainly was reported: https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/afl/news/christian-salem-reported-after-vfl-incident-against-northern-blues?station=melbourne

I agree with Demon Andrew that he swaps with Wagner if he gets off. Wouldn't mind seeing Stretch get a game (perhaps give Petracca a rest to freshen up for the pies?)

Salem's not that quick from what I've observed. What about Hunt on one wing and Hannan on the other?

I was at the game and saw Jack Watts grab at his groin and was limping late in the second quarter- perhaps that explains his second half- he did one great smother - I think in the last quarter

I'm definitely going now that Trenners is back!

My son and daughter in their 20's make 3!

Watched 2nd quarter again - Kent actually more prominent that I realised at least 6 times

Hunt- broke Cripps' leg

I'm wondering if Cripps' Mum has asked Patrick to request a trade to Melbourne so he stops getting hurt!

Melbourne - turnovers killed us

Sydney - hit more targets, more skilled passes
