Including finals, which team has won the most games since round 1, 2021 ?
Just curious.
Toast How can this Melbourne side be stopped?

Just curious.
Last two games are going to be very interesting. Think Carlton have a team that can match up well against us with dangerous tall forwards in Curnow and McKay which will be a good test for our backline as well as a midfield led by Cripps and Walsh. Even though we beat Brisbane easily last time, they're still a dangerous side and they will be tougher to beat at the Gabba. I reckon that game will probably decide the last spot in the top 4. I'm nervous going into these last two games, we've put ourselves in a vulnerable position to miss the top 4 altogether. Costly losses when we've given up 4-5 goal leads to Fremantle, Collingwood, Western Bulldogs and Sydney have really hurt us.

They had 18 inside 50s in the first half and kicked 8.2. Phenomenal conversion rate.

They're due!
The sheer arrogance of Langdon and the MFC to not only label the Pies as "one trick ponies" but to then outwardly call them out.
Pretentious prats!

So... what time tomorrow will you be posting the exact same opinion?
It is what it is. If you don't like it, speak to the pretentious s**t of a wingman. It's most likely spoken about at club level though. Something like that would have been spoken about at a group level and he probably simply feckd up by repeating it in an interview.
Last year once we got 4 goals up we weren’t losing games. Last night when we were getting all those inside 50s I thought flood gates would open or we’ll let the pies back in. Can’t give the pies a sniff. They are hungry and will run games out.
We dominated the clearances, contested possession and inside 50s. I read a stat that type of dominance has occurred 46 times in 21 years. Pies the 3rd team to win whilst on the receiving end of it.

So true that it was a very good win for Collingwood. Also true it doesn't necessarily bode well for them if they get the Demons again in a 2v3 final.

The kids are bulls but their disposal efficiency is attrocious and often they are too slow to spread from the contest if they can't get a kick away.
Oliver's performance was a classic, 42 disposals at 69%. Sounds alright yeh?
But he had 28 handballs - 28! 10 turnovers, 7 clangers and only 412 m gained.
That is just tying up a spot in the midfield with junk stats. They need finesse in their midfield and they can't afford to lose Brayshaw off the hbf. He looks unfit too.

Am I a great or what man.. am I a great or what?
Lol what a shocking take.
42 possessions, 24 of those contested and 14 clearances. I'd hazard a guess that less than 10 players in the history of the AFL have had a stat line like that.
He wasn't as damaging with his possessions as usual (and he hasn't been since he broke his thumb a couple weeks back), but to call them junk stats purely because he's scraping at the bottom of packs and feeding out handballs is absolutely dumb AF.

It's not that shocking. Was all everybody in the media talked about.
Junk, low value stats.
Each of those dinky handballs wastes time and a lot put the receiver under pressure. No one needs to explain to you that Melbourne midfield desperately needs outside class, right?

I bet you are one of the idiots who yells out 'just kick it' every time a player gets the ball

With people who think a player should pretty much just boot the ball forward all the time, yes

Don't need to. I follow a team that does. Seems to be working without stats paddlers in the middle.

That's mighty kind of you. I hope you can avoid sliding back into oblivion for the next 60.

You realise the handball is just as valuable if not more than a kick sometimes. For example. Kicking it long and only getting it to 50-60m from goal, instead handballing forward and getting a chain going and getting a better look, a deeper look and in the end an easier kick.
Nah mate, just blindly bomb it long to an intercept marker. That's how you rack up those valuable meters gained
