Straight Sets Simon

Harmes is having a go, good to see.

Watts as the third man up is elite.

Cross going to Goddard, finally.

How to beat Roos: Step 1) Put a loose player in defence. Step 2) Win.

Why are we allowing them to have a spare man? Have we not learned anything?

McGuire is making Russell sound good.

Goddard killing us.

I feel pretty relaxed, although more relaxed when McDonald doesn't kick on his left foot.

It's partly my fault because I did get an email a while ago to say it was expiring but I hadn't used it since so totally forgot.

I had every intention of going before I found out my Myki ticket had expired and I had nowhere to get a new one. What a great system that is.

West Papua get better quality than we get from Channel Seven.

I see that Harmes is good mates with Hogan, how many years would you like on your next contract, James?

Exactly what I was thinking, although my guess is he will be the sub.

JKH is a different type of player, but much better.

Good changes all round.

I was just thinking that. We have gone too cute in recent years, good to be decisive for once.

Like a lot of people I stopped being angry at him a long time ago.

We've seen our fair share of tragedy at Melbourne in the past decade or so losing Broadbridge, Stynes, Bailey, Wight and Flower. However, the death of Phil Walsh has made me put footy into perspective more than anything. I just no longer want to let football (Melbourne playing poorly) upset me like it did in the past. I still care and always will, but when you consider what Phil Walsh's family and the Crows are going through it's all meaningless.

No one team is best, the best combination would be Whateley, Hudson, Lucas and Dunstall.

Plus it was his first game (excluding the game he got injured in the warm up).

I didn't see any of the game, happy to write off and not worry about especially after the events of the week.

I can't watch the game, are we any chance?

I'm not interested in footy all of the sudden.

Horrific, extremely sad and puts a lot in perspective. I can't begin to imagine what his family, friends and the whole Adelaide Football Club are going through.

If Viney only ends up being as good as Brett Kirk I will cry. I realise the comparisons weren't just based on football ability but Viney probably already is a better player than Kirk.
