Melbourne relies on three lynch pins that has so far kept them in the match, Gawn, Oliver and May. Just need nullify them boys, We're working harder than them
Well that was frustrating to watch!!
However, after calming down a bit, I actually think we didn’t play that bad
Saints were up for it. They’re not a bad team, just inconsistent. They would’ve wanted to end their season on a high for Hanners and Ryder, so not surprised they were on for today’s...
Heeney’s workrate that led Buddy’s goal in the fourth was just immense. Started on centre wing, wins the ball at the stoppage, hits a target up forward then immediately starts sprinting towards the goal. David King even mentioned it during first crack
The last time I remember a rush behind being paid against the defending team was also us back in 2013 against Carlton. Malceski was basically pushed over the line
Carlton royally screwed the pooch in that last 40 seconds. First was the three on one they had in their favour and they end up spoiling each other. Then at a stoppage with 30 seconds left, the Carlton player decides to hit ball into open space rather than keeping it in congestion and locking it...
The thing I noticed with Melbourne, is that they lost that ability to suddenly go up a few gears when challenged during games. I remember throughout last years finals, their opponents were either ahead or within touching distance at some point during the match. They then just flick the switch...
This week’s whipping boy on the Richmond board is understandably Jake Aarts haha (like Castagna last week, don’t think he is even an option in the poll for best on ground vs). In fairness, I would be fuming if one of our players did that
Awesome win by the boys!
On a side note, was watching best on ground on fox, First it was a love in for Geelong and how this is their year. That was the first 5 mins of the show. Then they finally got to our game. One mention of Warner’s game then somehow segwayed onto how well Nick Daicos has...

So it was Stevic that paid the free all the way from the centre...
Regarding that free kick, Daisy Pearce put it quite nicely:
1) purpose of the rule was stop time wasting that prevents playing on quickly and allowing the defending team time to set up. Prestia wasn't going to have enough time to play on anyway
2) Its an iffy free kick anyway, I've looked at...
I guess we have to accept the fact that improvement in performance is not going to be linear. Remember Melbourne made a prelim then had two years in the wilderness before it all finally clicked last year. We have the building blocks, just need to keep the faith. Our second half shows our...
