poor dees fans. they were right about being locks for the 4.... they just didnt realise it was the bottom 4!

 

[BrutThough]

Melbourne are woeful

Granted, they are missing some good players from their defence but they are slow around the ground which is where Essendon is killing them.

I don’t think Lever and May would make much difference the mindset is shocking

And suddenly, so many games are winnable...

 

[denisp]

James Bradshaw “what a good game of footy” really???

 

[denisp]

Brayshaw- whatever

fair call.

the AFL now is crazy. it seems the teams who should be dropping off like hawthorn and geelong never do. whilst clubs at the start of a dominant era seems slip and slide down

Geelong have the same advantage as west coast do with hone games. Start the year with 10 wins locked in.

I think that's because clubs have started to take drafting and trading a lot more seriously, gone fully pro and given it as much importance as footy itself. Geelong and Hawthorn have started from a position of strength and smartly turn over their lists finding more quality.

 

[VDS66]

Lol just realised its only 3/4 time.

Bellchambers looks like the kind of Neanderthal who’d glass you for NOT looking at his missus...

Geelong were one of the original clubs to have a stand alone team as well which helps. Put them years ahead of the rest.

Agree with what you say.

It also comes down to footy department spend. Hence why poorer clubs struggle.

Still getting told how good Shiel’s been...

Still waiting for him to get over 50% DE...

Neckbeard’s fat arse is done for a month...

creative accounting is the inside word over here. the unlimited 3rd party payment spend is ruining the competitive balance.

Would be great for Melbourne to get up from here - worsfold under more pressure next week

 

[StCicatriz]

geeze thats one stupid handball

 

[Hayes4PM]

Frost getting exposed tonight for Melbourne. Decent athlete, spud footballer.

 

[VDS66]

Petracca was selfish there. Almost a 12 point play.

 

[Barrels]

Stringer sprayed it like he was in a teenager’s bedroom...

 

[Rizz64]

wow, why do we even have umpires in the AFL these days? the umpiring this year has been deadset woeful all year! reckon the players could umpire the games themselves and be better off!

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Both these sides believed the preseason “experts”

Gif?

 

[The_Snake26]

Kinda makes me happy that petracca is shit. Most overrated player in the comp. we should’ve taken Brayshaw, absolute workhorse. But really how good would de goey have been in hindsight
