Persevering Saint
Brownlow Medallist
Well, only four weeks after we played them the first time, we're up against the Dees again.
This is the third of FIVE GAMES IN A ROW that Melbourne are playing at the MCG.
This is in the middle of a patch where we play every game on Sunday - SIX GAMES worth. Oh, and for FOUR of those six games, the AFL have kindly given our opposition an extra day or two's break (Essendon=1 day; Giants=1 day; Richmond= 2 days; Melbourne = 0 days; Power = 1 day; Freo = 0 days)... isn't that so nice of the AFL...?
There's a bit of a "Darcy Parish Cup" feel about this game, with whoever loses probably ensuring they get a top-4 pick. Tanking, y'say? Hmm, I smell a Melbourne loss.
