loges

Probably better to ask anyone who was at the game to post how strong the wind was.

It's a bit sad some on here only seem to be able to post about the negatives. in fact there is one frequently negative poster who seems hasn't been able to come on here at all and post about one of the best wins of the season.

People banging on about almost blowing the lead in the last quarter, sure it was raining but weren't they kicking with a 5 goal breeze.

Yes, go Dee's, fingers crossed.

I thought the reward for a successful season was more prime time TV, not an easier draw.

Settle

With the much improved ground maintenance, why couldn't you have more VFL curtain raisers, like the 'old'days.

MFCSS

He is giving the players a chance to atone for last week, now let's see how the players respond.

We're in then.

Is anyone else concerned about our for & against scoreline being impacted by incorrect umpiring decisions. It seems to be a continuing trend in our close games. Just hope we're due a bit more luck in the coming weeks. Won't hold my breath though.

You think we will miss,do you think that is what the coaches think?

The player taking the shot on goal from the boundary rule should never have been changed, did anyone ever see the shot get smothered before the rule change?

And Hogan probably getting treatment for his knock. Harmes, would anybody train 2 days after getting their hand operated on?

Yes, but it's very much a fading memory only a young kid. Like your self getting older very quickly.

Good summation, some on here seem to think that because we have 54 years of disappointment it is up to players of only a few years experience to fix it immediately.

I could write a long winded reply, but all I'll say is we're all impatient, I've been supporting Melbourne since 1960.

The next 5 weeks will tell us a lot, will we rise to another level or drop to the depths of despair?

Did you really understand the article?

Didn't say it was why we lost.

Our past 3 losses significant impact by the umpiring

As I posted elsewhere the worst umpiring for many a year.

Yes the one closest the fifty arc looks the best option as long as the kick was accurate.

Didn't realise it was Ablett who pushes him in the back, there's the answer why it wasn't paid.

To me Sydney look very vulnerable to miss the 8.
