Jake Bowey Rising Star #2
He’s looked as good in just first three games as I can remember any Melbourne debutant. I knew nothing of him before he was getting senior games (didn’t see him at Casey) but he has totally blown me away just how good he is already.

CHANGES: Rd 23 vs Geelong
If he caused a concussion I 100% would. We need to protect the player with the ball, that’s why the rules exist.

CHANGES: Rd 23 vs Geelong
He did not have to lay a tackle. Protecting the player with the ball is the number one priority. He did not do that. Let me repeat, he did not have to lay a tackle.

Exactly and I say this because I’m as guilty as anyone.

The bottom half of the top eight look just as dangerous as the top half.

The worst thing about the Hawkins decision is you can almost guarantee if he was at small club he would have been suspended.

Joel Smith signs on for 2022
Played the perfect role as a depth player today. Unlikely he will hold his spot but didn’t do a lot wrong and was serviceable as a replacement for May. I still want to see him forward.

CHANGES: Rd 23 vs Geelong
I’ve said many times that I’m not a Melksham fan (he wasn’t great today) but I still like the idea of him being in the team. Possibly at the expense of Jordon, but I don’t know. Brayshaw needs to find a bit of form, he looked way off today.

I love Fritsch.

I have zero confidence in Sparrow.

Another errant Salem handpass.

We never look like kicking a goal from a midfielder on the run.

GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
To think I wanted to draft a midfielder over Jackson.

Such a good clearance by Sloane, even with Oliver hanging off him he still got an inside 50.

Petracca so good.

They are winning most contests it feels like.

How many times have we coughed up leads like this. It’s such a dangerous margin for us.

First good thing Langdon has done for about 10 weeks.

GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
Yuck.

GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
Not a chance.

GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
It’s because we got to the dangerous 30-odd point lead. We need to be either over 40 points (safe) or about 20 points for us to not be complacent.

Commentators suggesting Pickett goes into the centre. He’s been doing it all year.

GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
I’d prefer Jones than those two but he will make way for Viney next week anyway.

Salem loves coughing it up by hand.
