I can’t see us beating Melbourne on their favourite home ground , the MCG. No home ground advantage for us. If we do beat them, then we are a serious chance this year. Lose and heads should role!

Ugh not happy with Thursday, but at least we get an extra two days over Melbourne. Going to suck with work, school and travel though.

Aren’t you just a preserved head in a jar, Hiss?

According to John Ralph, Melksham has an ACL injury. Season over and likely to be replaced by Tom McDonald who played well in VFL wildcard round today.

More concerned about May, Lever and Petracca who killed us last time. We need a defensive forward whose role is to take May out of the game.

Listening to the game on the radio it sounded that Melb played better once Melksham went off injured

Kings birthday we lost by 4 points even though Melbourne had the game played their own way.

We did have a last quarter run as we did every game during that period.

Grundy actually played well and scored a couple from memory. Won’t be there next game.

We actually should have learned so much from that defeat. If we kick to May and Leaver again and play down the line as we did like last time and lose in the same manner then that’s inexcusable.

We know 100% how they want to play us and try and slow us down.

OK, now im going to get flayed for this, but heres a suggestion from me. Today I watched most of our VFL match, Punt rd, and we smashed the Tigers. I must say I was very impressed with Krueger, his game was superb, four goals, an assisted others, was a brute force up forward. NOW, I know there are some, more that a few, who are not all that impressed by McStays output, he seems to cop a bit of flak here, If you are one of em, how would you feel, if say, McStay did little in the Qual final (but we still won) and we omitted hm for the PF with Krueger, bring in the Beast now ? Yeh, I know hes bit injury prone, bu ti it worth a shot, see how he goes next to Checkers and co ? My son reckons at 24, hes m ore a project for next season, not now, and we keep McStay in. Im not so sure, Just thought id ask the question, see what you guys, think.

Yes, and we has six key players out that day, to their one. Melb fell in, we even kicked one more goal. The Toffs dont scare me, one iota , NO way Jose.

^ I think Kreuger might also have a chance to come in the team...
