Analysis Death-Riding Melbourne 2018 (now with poll)

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would it be possible to trade up for BOTH Luko AND Rankine? Or is that too much to ask?

Would need a miracle.

 

[Shaz2012]

Would need a miracle.

And we are already using one up by winning this years flag. But if good things come in threes.

1. 2018 premiership
2. Lukosius & Rankine IN
3. Burton & Haas OUT

Or is that 5 things? Would take the first 3 in that case.

 

[Betts are off]

It’s mathematical, but it’s a pretty easy equation. We need to win 5 of our last 6 games to make the 8. 13 wins gets us there, 12 probably doesn’t.

If we can win 5 of our last 6, were probably playing pretty decent footy and would have other finalists a little shaky.

Having said that, apart from Carlton, none of our remaining games are necessarily easy, even Brisbane at the Gabba. If we play well, we could make those 5 wins easily, but if we can’t maintain form and let’s face it, we’ve played 2 good games in the past 2-3 months, we could very easily only win 1 more game for the season. Well know more Saturday.



Yeah good post, for once it’s probably going to be a really interesting last 6 weeks of footy. Top 5 are probably set in the top 8, but from 6-12, a lot could change depending on which clubs find form and which ones flop. I’ve no doubt there’ll be a few upsets to make things really interesting.

Yep, and the injury bug seems to have moved to other teams now. Hawks have lost Sicily and McEvoy, Demons Lever Hibberd and Viney, Port Gray and Ryder, GWS Patton.

The 6-12 teams are gonna do some big time jostling

Yep, and the injury bug seems to have moved to other teams now ... Port Gray and Ryder

Gray looking likely to play this week. Ryder apparently set to miss only one.

So not really as bad as it first appeared for Port.

Really? That surprises the hell out of me, especially for Gray. His head knock was sickening!

I know its a pressure game an all, but Port might need to have a second look at that one...

Unbelievable. That team gets luck with injuries it does not deserve. If that was us our players would be out for weeks yet they have guys (like wingard with his hamstring) that look like tgey will be out for weeks and..a miracle occurs and they miss 1 f×××ing week only

Every concussion responds differently, assessment to play really depends on how he’s recovered, not on how bad it looked at the time.

If he’s examining well, then there’s really no evidence to suggest he can’t play.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Doesn't seem like the Port players aced their baseline tests

 

[Hammond]

Zach Tuohy...

Nice soul destroying loss after the siren.
Very nice.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Melbourne v Geelong this season has pretty much been a goal after the siren with Melbourne losing both

HAHAHA

 

[ABAB]

Win next week and we will be level with Melbourne on points, they might end up below us, despite our season from hell injuries wise.

 

[GROTTO]

 

[FR0GGY]

I can’t go now, any dees fans want to buy it off me?

 

[GrommoT]

Nice soul destroying loss after the siren.
Very nice.

 

[Cap]

We need to knock them off next week.

 

[FR0GGY]

We need to knock them off next week.

This thread will get bumped either way

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Could knock them out of the top 8 next week depending on other results.
