[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Haha you are joking. Melbourne have more talent on their bench than your team had last year.

******* spare me.

And that so called talented team hasnt kicked a goal in a half and are down by 63 so how about you ******* spare me

The new ground is a lot closer to the dimensions of the G and the Eagles have beaten all comers this year and won both games at the G including thrashing Collingwood at the 'G, if their key forwards stay fit I think they will beat Collingwood.

Carlton doesnt count.

Might be a lesson why opening the doors to the media and "embracing the hype" doesn't win flags.

 

[Power Raid]

you know it's hard for the commentators when the decibel meter comes out

next is the seagull count

 

[Mr_Moogle]

brayshaw "what can they do to address"
richo "kick a goal and the next"

hard work for the commentators

Only a former player could provide that kind of insight.

 

[PieLebo87]

Not quite as loud as the Magpie army at the ‘G.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Serious q - what about Burgoyne and Roughead? They look cooked to me, is it a case of good enough during H&A that they provide leadership and experience and expect the next gen to push through in finals.

Roughead probably will just purely that Nash isn't ready, Schoenmakers achillies is rooted, and Gunston isnt a traditional key forwasrd

Burgoyne was great this year, Just had a s**t finals series, He played as well as he has at hawthorn during the H+A

Hope you can score a better ticket than today’s one. Did Sherpa Tenzing Norgay escort you to that seat?

Tigers vs Pies at MCG [Citation needed]

 

[Chism]

12 Demons players without a tackle??

Holy s**t that stat is damning.

 

[HTPunter]

Roughy probably done. The cancer took too much out of him. Getting back to playing is amazing in itself. Will probably go on just for pure structural reasons.

Burgoyne played the finals with broken ribs which probably explains why he wasn't so good. His first half of the season was as good as any he's ever had. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Fair enough. I forgot about Burgoynes ribs too to be honest.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Come on 100+ points.

 

[HBF]

Many left but dunno how many have called it a day or taking a break. I suspect quite a few the former.

Should have a bit more room to stretch out in the second half.

 

[qarocks]

West Coast may have snagged Gaffs signature with this performance.

You'd think it would give him pause for thought.

every time they show gaff, he looks panicked, like a kid who doesn't know how to break up with his girlfriend.
if he leaves, it wont be because of the eagles.

 

[Mmwce]

Hey Google, play Max Gawns first half highlights in the preliminary final against west coast.... “Sorry max that does not exist”

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

12 Melbourne players yet to lay a tackle

 

[Power Raid]

first 5 minutes crucial for the dees for confidence

 

[Collingwoodity]

If I were Nathan Jones I'd be calling all of my teammates a pack of counts.

He’s been s**t too

Execpt the Eagles have beaten Collingwood at both the MCG and Optus this season....

Derp.

Means s**t all when it comes to a GF, where the pressure and atmosphere will be significantly greater. Also, they were leading with 5 mins to go in the QF...

 

[nameless]

Darcy keeps saying they're a "proud club", is this true?

They've been gutless for years (sorry).

 

[Juddy88]

The thing is, they don't. They're like a deer in headlights at the G when finals come. Melbourne are playing worse than Carlton are right now, so how is that a gauge for anything? Whereas Collingwood played incredibly well to thrash Richmond, who are a much much better side than Melbourne.

Wow. I thought you were a decent, but heck me this is one of the most ignorant posts I've seen in a long time.

Derp.

Richmond has beaten us twice too.

 

[kid_a]

West Coast crowd on point as usual. Only interested in booooooooooing 10x louder than they cheer anything.

It's more fun ya see

 

[Power Raid]

well done oliver
