It has become a special night, it’s the kids’ favourite event at the footy these days and they were fortunate enough to soak it all in from up close last night.

Rides to work then breaks the 17km barrier for distance covered during the game. Langdon has changed the whole dynamic of this team.

Hunt was definitely the hard luck story last year, a lot seem to forget he was part of our best backline last year until injury. His disposal gets brought up often and even though he’s sprayed a few kicks I can’t recall him directly costing us many goals this year. His role has been refined somewhat this year and from what I’ve seen at the ground he has been excellent defensively.

Yeah, give me 1-5 any day. Come on mate…there’s so much football left.

It’s very hard to keep winning, even though we didn’t finish our good work from the back often enough, it’s very obvious we are extremely hard to beat. Shout out to Hunty, thought he was very good on Bolton. Petty will be a star if he’s not already.

53-157 Carlton’s For and Against in 3rd quarters this year.

You just have to love Mundy.

I like the title of their Post-Match thread. Canny Crows take a giant dump on dopey dogs from up high. 63-62.

Best dud bounce ever losing a couple of secs. Well done Crows.

Cannot doubt Tex’s skill.

The Dogs player cannonballed himself head first into the Crows player and was awarded the free. It’s the real obvious ones they get wrong that irks me, but the players seem to be adapting to this rule as you stated.

Richmond is the only team Weid hasn’t kicked a goal against. Let’s back in for a few.

Last week it was a selfish Devon Smith asking for a handball from a teammate that was lining up 10 metres out and subsequently missing a left foot snap, then last night we had Himmelberg doing exactly the same thing to Flynn. No wonder those teams are struggling when players are making it all about themselves, back your teammates and get around them.

Great to see a few Melbourne Premiers beanies in the crowd.

Yes, I definitely think they give some great insights about their teammates. I enjoy listening to this podcast, found today’s episode amusing. The boys have been pretty much spot on with their ‘selection’ segment this season and by the sound of it Melksham was very close to getting a game this week. Like hearing from quirky characters such as Hunt and Ed, Hunt’s draft story was an interesting one.

Lol, it had to happen after I said I’ve never seen the starting 18 changed before.

The particular poster’s mail is usually reliable W’DEE, good luck to Dunstan if indeed he’s a starter.

You could be right Nascent, as far as I’m aware I don’t think I’ve ever seen it changed 24 hrs later, injury being the only exception.

Yes Cards, to my knowledge it’s always been the case the starting 18 named in an extended squad are a lock unless there’s a late out for the reason you mention.

Wonder what the record is Pates? It’s now 3 weeks in a row. Goals conceded by us in first quarters this year, 2-2-0-0-0.

Yes, it is something else at the moment. When we put the foot down in the GF all I remember is Libba chasing our mids with his tongue hanging out. After Sparrow’s effort last weekend to get us a goal there were several GWS players hunched over gasping for air while ours still had the energy to sprint to Sparrow and recognise his effort. I was absolutely blown away by our running capacity last Saturday night.

Wasn’t sure where to post the below, came across it browsing ESPN. I found it an interesting read, I realise Champion Data isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but all that really stood out to me was our rankings. https://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/33768562/afl-2022-champion-data-deep-dive-stats-reveal-premiership-contenders-fremantle-dockers-melbourne-biggest-danger

I only heard the booing twice, both times when Jesse was lining up for goals. I would like to think it was just to put him off rather than booing him directly. There were also a few other boos when GWS players were lining up.

Looks like he will miss a decent chunk of the season, unlucky for the young fella. https://www.afl.com.au/news/745175

You gave me something to do DZ. Gabba - Lions v Pies 32,212 Optus - West Coast v Swans 42,888 Adelaide Oval - Crows v Tigers 33,031 MCG - Blues v Port 33,433 MCG- Hawks v Cats 48,030 20,791 for our game. All three Marvel games aren’t showing a crowd figure on the AFL site.
