I've been so frustrated over the years at our lack of strong and physical inside players.
Now we have a wealth of them.

Pickett, Sylvia, McClean, Moloney (when fit) Jones, Bate, J Mac, Bartram and Green is a lot tougher too!

No wonder were No 1 in Tackles!
No wonder there were so many bruised bodies for StKilda!

I will repeat.

MELBOURNE ARE NOT TOUGH!!!

They were weak and insipid against Adelaide who are in the worst form in a long long time. No toughness shown at all, now they beat a pathetic St Kilda side and suddenly they have a group stroke about being tougher than 22 Hulk Hogans.

You will be flogged next week.
Freo will bend you over and pop its finals cherry.

Fair enough, you wont listen to logic.....

For Freo to go out in straight sets would be the highlight of the season....they are a bunch of arrogant w a n k e r s who deserve nothing more:thumbsu:

Freo should be wary. Many are mentioning injuries as a reason for St Kilda's loss, and it's a fair point.
Yet in your other thread

St Kilda's injury myth - disgraceful, weak, deflection

You say it's not a fair point. Which is it?

You didn't watch the game, did you? If you just had of said Yze and Davey then I would have agreed with you but Green put his body on the line all night.
Green has put his body on the line all year. Will take him a while to change others perceptions obviously

i reckon friday will turn into a last man standing afair.

melbourne will target freo's young players. freo will target white, jouhnstone, bate

it could become real ugly
It wouldn't worry Johnstone or Bate. White though I'm not so sure about, though he showed good form and some hardness on Friday night which was a good sign.
Our players that are susceptible to being targeted are Davey and White IMO.
If that hack Matthew Carr throws the ball at one of our players again I hope Byron smashes the ****. Josh I have respect for because he is a very good player.

If I was a melbourne supporter I'd be acceptin of my good fortune and be VERY quiet about my teams worthyness.

Sureley they were using the Bradbury approach on friday night ?
I don't recall Bradbury taking off his iceskate and stabbing the other competitiors til he won. I think you're looking for Happy Gilmore.

It's fair until you look deeper into it. It's not as if all of those players were starting injured - that was the point. If you coudl read more than one line you'd have understood that.

I was trying to use an out of context quote and you caught me out.

Back to the actual issue, so what you're trying to tell us is that team hardness = the ammount of injuries you can cause for the opposition. Is that what Daniher is using at training? How to cause injuries for the opposition 1on1. If you watched the interview with Daniher after the elimination final he came across, to me, as an incoherent fool, incapable of creating a game plan of his own and so I can see why he would rely on injuries.

Melbourne as a team are hard and yet you only offer up two, maybe three players as evidence of this fact.

Kosi is a walking accident.

Harvey is too old for finals football.

Gehrig's own strength and pride is probably the only reason he got injured, he was intent on standing in that tackle, I dunno why he was trying to run around Carrol in the first place.

One Clarke was backing into a contest and got smashed, I didn't see the other one.

I don't see Melbourne being tough because they caused injuries.

Your a fool. Harvey nearly won the game for StKilda!

Melbourne are hard at the football or the man with the football, its simple. When they had a chance to hit a body hard they did and eventually it took its toll.

I am looking forward to the Subi game to see if they are able to play in a similar vein and pressure Freo out of the game.

A bit silly really.
