Straight Sets Simon

This.

I couldn't fault his game yesterday and he is the closest I have seen to a complete player at the MFC in my lifetime. He kicked goals (from all over the place), marked, chased, tackled, ran hard, did the one percenter's, put his body on the line, crumbed the packs and laid off some pin-point passes. Star.

Much worse, it is better to have the ball out of your oppositions forward line than be stuck in the back pocket, under pressure where a likely turnover can more easily translate into an opposition goal. EDIT: On a side note Melbourne's game plan has involved a lot more kicking than handpassing as when compared to the first half of the season.

Pretty much agree with all of those joeboy.

Agree with that. Liam Jurrah is becoming a star of the competition. Is there anything he can't do?

These two are now far from best 22 players. Morton needs at add significant muscle, some of his efforts were just plain lazy and he became a liability with the ball. Bate is the worst tackler in the league, I don't understand how he is so bad at it and he very rarely wins a one-on-one contest. I hate to finish a positive season on a downer but they were just so painful to watch today.

6. Jurrah 5. Green 4. Dunn 3. Scully 2. Rivers 1. Sylvia -1. Newton -2. Bate -3. Morton EDIT: How did I forget Green?

Was it just me, or did it look as though the introduction to part two was filmed today? For starters, the blue curtains he was standing in front of looked odd, like they were added in digitally and what he was saying seemed almost a direct response to a lot of the criticism part one received. Just a thought, but I could be wrong. Also did it cover how he never tested positive?

I was disappointed with it, whilst it didn't glorify drug use I thought in some instances it glorified what he got away with. He always has a cheeky grin on his face which doesn't help.

They were very similar. As good as each others.

The Newton experiment is over.

Thank god for Liam Jurrah.

Starting to get embarrassing.

Jurrah!

Another stupid free kick given away by a Melbourne player.

Garland is getting his pants pulled down, Warnock no better.

Agreed.

Sylvia is a big loss but I am very happy to see Bail back in the team, he should never have been dropped.

Nothing against Frawley because he is quickly becoming a star, but I don't see him as a leader. Between Green and Moloney.
