Get hosed you loving bullshit fluro cunts three loving incorrect disposals in a row in their back 50 but nah let's just let them run it out for a goal, after all we can't possibly adjudicate dropping the ball when we have to have our micrometers at the loving ready to pay a 50

My fave bit of that quarter was when Brisbane went end to end about the ten minute mark without a single Melbourne player breaking into anything above a jog, what the gently caress were they doing. Started with Garlett manning the kick in and just walking towards the guy who marked it in the pocket and never got better

Lol pay a 7 metre mark and then on the goal line the forward just throws our defender over the line before it arrives to let it through

Maybe the umpires should stop trying to pick 50 metres and work out what the gently caress 15 metres is for a mark

After all the bullshit 50s they pick today, Brayshaw completes the mark and a Brisbane player comes front on to floor him and they ignore it. loving typical

Why the gently caress does Melbourne always have to make supporting them so difficult, 31 up in the last against the bottom team but hey yeah nah let's go and make it "interesting" for the fans. Jesus

That win doesn't cement the Dees in the finals does it?

As I see it, if they lose next week, and any two of West Coast, Bulldogs, Essendon and St Kilda have big enough wins then they can fall out of the 8?

Yep. We are 10% up on the dogs and saints, but hopefully Adelaide get back and beat the eagles and we don't entirely poo poo the bed and lose by 150 points

Assuming Melbourne lose to Collingwood next week (and I am), Crows will be the gatekeepers of the top 8 against 9th placed West Coast in the final game of the season. Don't know my heart can take that poo poo.

Melbourne would have to get absolutely smashed by Collingwood (or West Coast smash Adelaide) to be overtaken on percentage.

Nope, 7 goal combined margin across both games would do it, West Coast are only 2.1% behind us, it's the dogs and saints that are the next level down with a 10% gap.

Got a bit misty eyed watching Roo being chaired off. It'll be a long time before the Saints have a player of his all-around magnitude again, I think.

Ladder predictor says the final round is gonna get messy thanks to the Tigers winning massive today.

In fact Richmond seems to have avoided a trip to Adelaide, provided we beat the Eagles, they're either 3rd if they win, or 6th if they lose, and even that relies on Port and Sydney following through on formality wins.

Nobody has a guaranteed spot, and only Adelaide has a guaranteed home final week 1

Richmond and Geelong both winning by small margins puts Richmond into 4th, probably.

I think he's even struggling at WAFL level after being dropped in rd 2, although I'm not sure he could make the backline any more porous.

Bring Dawson back for a final game. Tell him to send all the Bombers players off on stretchers. Then win the game and hopefully push the Dons out of the 8. A glorious finish to a glorious career!

He has said himself he doesn't want one, but who knows if that is his honest answer, or simply a case Ross Lyon Stockholm Syndrome.

Yeah I doubt that is really true. That's the sort of thing you'd say if the coach has told you you aren't getting one to save face.
