% plus 4 points

Obviously in the minority but I don't mind Geelong. They play good football. Tubby Porkins is the only Geelong player I can't stand.

They were good to Pav in his 300th too.

Essendon are beating Carlton. How much would we have to lose by tomorrow to move up a pick I wonder?

Any here good at maths? If we lose by 60-70 points, will Essendon overtake us? Please say yes.

How did our coaching and development staff not see the potential in menegola...unbelievable

The Hawks turfed him too, eases the pain a bit

 

[Kram]

Pretty embarrassing that Essendon will win as many games, would have got massive odds for that to happen before the start of the season.

 

[pavslovechild]

watching Menzel also gives you that feeling of what morabito could potentially offer if given a run at it...you don't lose footy smarts, maybe the speed and power, but Menzel just knows how to play and where to be

 

[Andy Brennan]

So Melbourne-like to be satisfied with their improvement this year then shit the bed

 

[mike91]

This is the Melbourne Football Club that we know, didn't buy into the hype after their win against Hawthorn, you just knew they'd find a way to embarrass themselves.

 

[Kram]

Essendon are gonna lose their number 1 pick.

 

[nurries]

Essendon are gonna lose their number 1 pick.

Don't deserve a first round pick anyway

Dont be glum we picked yarran.

Yeah, 24-25 years old and on his third club, just took him a long time to hit his straps. Neither did Hawthorn. Geelong didn't unravel him until round 18 either. He wasn't at any club in 2015, was playing VFL I think.
Nothing to do with our development, you can't hang around waiting forever for a guy who didn't play a game in the four years he was listed at two clubs. .

 

[Taylor]

Either Brisbane lose and drop 0.5% to gain pick #1 or they win and go from pick #2 to pick #3.

Does the club try and win? Or get pick #1?

 

[youmewe]

Essendon are gonna lose their number 1 pick.

At 3/4 time they were dangerously close to slipping ahead of Brisbane.

Carlton's last quarter resurgence ensured that didn't happen (funny that).

Brisbane can still claim the spoon if they lose with a scoreline of 59-120ish or 77-150ish.

 

[Mudd]

Lepa will **** this up and they will go from #1 pick to #3.

Freo pinched him from the Hawks with the go home factor, he played wafl last season and had a great season after starting late with injuries. RTB tried to play him as a tagger, that worked well, amazing as soon as Simon Lloyd left for the cats he gets a start there, again had injuries at start of the year but now showing what both Hawks and Freo recruiting departments saw to draft him.

 

[Proud SJW]

Didn't know that. I don't hold it as a development failure on our part, though - lots of blokes take a while to be worth the shot.
Barlow comes to mind.

 

[Banker]

Dont be glum we picked yarran.

How many seasons does Yarran realistically have? He is a great pick if we were in the premiership window.
