Smart move. The whole “We back our veteran coach for the next bottom out rebuild” never eventuates.

I’m not sure why we base a game plan on having tall targets around the ground to bring the ball To ground if we can’t win the ground ball. It’s a huge issue and the good teams play this plan to perfection against us. 
 

Kozzy is in really bad form too. He looked like he was going to take the comp by storm round one but can’t get near it since.

My big call with nothing to back it up. Angus brayshaw as defensive forward on Alirr.

An actual “danger game”

Surely something similar happened in 1909 that we can reference. 

Shame that Petty got subbed. Look like he was on the way to his break out game up forward. 

We are being used as an example, just like what happened to a young Trengove and Viney. Absolute BS.

I hope we don’t come out and say “we respect the decision”. Let em have it. The AFL have a lot to answer for. Have a look at any post on any social media related to this story, never seen so many people in agreeance. What can we do as supporters of the game to voice our disgust? 

I’m useless with stats but would be interesting to see clearances that lead to scores %

It was closer than it needed to be as our accuracy was off. They put similar if not greater pressure than Essendon put on us and we got belted that game. Winning in different ways eh?

Who’s the hardest Melbourne forward to play on at training?

Has to be the worst officiated game I’ve seen in a while, but in hindsight it really added to the drama last night. It was a loud hostile crowd. Loved it. 

The weekly “Who’s Melksham coming in for?” Game. 

I’ll never boo a player as I am a grown adult, not an 8 year old. 
 

On Jacko, you can’t help but think the pressure to Perform will be stunting his development. I reckon he’d be flying with us this year.

The footage is real cherry picking. Draper gave up chasing him a few times.

My only concern moving forward is his lack aerial ability. Gawn is going to be such a huge loss when he eventually retires. 

The best Judd to ever play the game.

Say we get pick 5 from Freo, is there a chance we actually trade up to get pick 1?

I am assuming we could stack pick 5, pick 23 and our own second round pick?

We have our own first rounder as well, we are in a very good position. 

Great result, didn’t watch the game. Is the player we are linked to Henry? He is copping an absolute Pasting on their big footy board.

Always pencil in a loss against this team. 

I expect at least one hour of loading discussion.

My mail Wednesday was that he wasn't going to play. Don't know why they bothered in flying him up

He wanted the frequent flyer points.

i standby for what i said last week. Petty is in ordinary form but I guess they will lit him work through it.

Schache will come in for Gawn, exactly the role he was traded In for. Grundy has missed a lot of footy but this spell as number one will get him going again. 
 

Wish kozzy only got a week. He is such a point of difference for us. 

Pre blackout that was the worst performance in many years. Not one winner out there. Our midfield got destroyed.

What are you talking about? Kept Naughton to 1 goal. Naughton is an absolute gun. 
Tomlinson played on Lobb who is borderline a potato (still has a fantastic game!)

I think Petty was lucky Naughton can’t kick. But to be honest I don’t think any defender can go with Naugton in the air. He’s hands and timing are ridiculous 

I love petty but if you were judging the game on form not name, he goes out for may. Not Tomlinson. He was exceptional last night.
