I must say I was very impressed with Melbourne yesterday and it was certainly worth the effort in going. I know we only beat the bottom side, but for the most part, we played really well. The run out of the half back line was terrific.
The 2nd quarter was sensational. I have not seen Melbourne play a quarter like that for quite a while.
I am now prepared to say Neitz should play up forward
I have always said he is better up back, and I still think he is a good backman. But his current form suggests the right decision has been made. What an effort, 9 goals. Coleman medalist, here we come!
The only bad thing about the game was that we let them kick the last three goals. It could have been a 10 goal win.
Other postives were Vardy and Robbo up forward. Sorry Ox, but they don't seem to be missing you. The delivery from the midfield was superb and the backline was very good again. I have always liked Chris Lamb and he is delivering the goods. One of the highlights of the day was when he kicked that goal. Ellis and Bizzell have been very good pick ups for the backline.
I have also been critical of the coach, but I have to give him credit. He has got the team firing the last few weeks. Lets hope it goes on!
Looking ahead, we are half a chance to make the Top 4. They are starting to look like the 2000 and 1998 team, which means on our day we can challenge most teams. We also have to beat teams around us. We can go 2 games ahead of the Hawks if we beat them. If not, we are back in the pack. 5th at the moment, lets hope we stay there.
It also makes me wonder how players like Godfrey and A McDonald and even Steve Febey are going to force there way into the team. Williams did not do a great deal yesterday, but I don't know if Broady exacty set the world on fire for Sandy.
