Straight Sets Simon

I like the look of this kid. Don’t know why, just think he could become a real player.

Clarko wasn’t a genius when he lost to the Suns the week before.

That was such a bad game. Hilarious for St Kilda but some awful umpiring in the end.

I can’t help but feel this game is going to be a scrap. The fact that it is played at the SCG won’t help this.

I hate Geelong.

Everyone is worried about how drunk and stupid Robbo is, I just want someone to tie him down and shave that crap off his face.

My theory is that Clarkson is a good coach, but also it is underrated just how kissed on the proverbial he was with his list. Carlton’s list isn’t awful, but I think it could expose Clarkson if they can’t make some savvy moves.

Seeing Essendon two games and percentage out of the eight makes me happy.

Watching this Fremantle game is making me appreciate how much Melbourne’s skills have improved.

He’s a shocker.

Is he the baby faced one?

That is such a bad team. Naitanui over Gawn and Franklin in the team, bloody hell. Franklin wouldn’t be in the top 100 players this year. Comparison of Gawn and Naitanui this year: https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&pid1=3346&fid1=S&playerStatus2=A&tid2=19&pid2=3108&fid2=S&type=A

Yes, but Harmes coming back to 2018 form has made his absence far less of an issue.

For the life of me I can’t work out why Demonland was a miserable place when we were winning all those premierships over the past 15 years.

Totally, I said in game day thread if we got on top around the centre/ball we would overrun them and we did. The key was we started getting first use of the ball in the second half, because when Brinsbane were getting first use their key forwards were tough to stop.

Agreed, I enjoyed Friday night when Brisbane were killing us in clearances and in turn on the scoreboard.

This.

To me, it was just more of a reflection of Derm and other people in the media having trouble accepting Melbourne are now good so he’s trying to deflect.

St Kilda have kicked four straight since I wrote this.

St Kilda are so bad.

I cannot believe Luke Dunstan is still in the AFL. Have genuinely not seen him for five years.

Sparrow very well might get a week but if a Melbourne player went down like Rich did all the commentators would have accused them of going down easily. As we know, the MRO relies on commentators to make his decisions so it wouldn’t have even been looked at.

“Zinger”.

Big difference between winning a premiership and being the best team. Right now we are the best team.

Just had the misfortune of watching Saturday Countdown and Derm “jokingly” asked Brayshaw if Oliver throws it more than Tom Brady. I don’t normally get upset about media but it just showed complete and utter disrespect for not only Oliver, but also Brayshaw and a team that is 11 and 1. I dare say Derm wouldn’t have asked it to a player from a “big” club. It just feels like a lot of the media are having a hard team getting it through their head that we are the best right now.
