Melbourne v Western Bulldogs, MCG

[LeverPuller]

No thread yet, Hogan opening Melbourne's scoring for the day.

 

[Mr Eagle]

More pigeons on the ground than posts in here...

Crowd noise has me thinking there's 60k at the G, but my eyes tell me differently. Still, looks like a solid crowd given the combatants.

Was Grimes blocked out of the previous marking contest? Didn't they bring in a rule to stop that?

 

[Sam95]

Free kick my ass

 

[The King!]

Melbourne so much more aggressive when they play a team they believe they can beat

Hope biggs has a rippa

 

[Rob]

Hard to see them losing, but the Dogs do not look switched on so far.

Maybe they've finally realised that it's the dumbest rule in football, and have quietly (rightly) removed it.

Lin Jong, the Asian Michael Jackson (one glove).

I look forward to the day (probably not in my lifetime) where both these clubs can build their lists and square off in a Grand Final. Needless to say the Bullies are much closer to that than the Dees are at this point in time.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Tom McDonald is having a great year in a shit team.

 

[rippersnipper]

Good jack

 

[Rod Stroker]

Pedo-phile!!!

Gee Spencer looks uncannily like Stynes in his movement and ball drop

 

[Freo95]

Dees doing alright atm.

 

[HTPunter]

How was Watts in the VFL last week? I find it odd he dropped himself to find form, and found it after only 1 week? What went on there?

Good to see the Dees start well. I'm sure a lot of people have forgotten how they were tracking before they met the big 3.

Playing on Cordy will do that.

 

[HTPunter]

And would have thought M.Boyd in January would have been one of those candidates for "should have retired last year"...

What a fantastic season he is having

 

[Abomination]

Spencer has been awful the last few weeks. Surprised he hasn't been dropped, but I guess they want to persist with him before making a decision at the end of the season.

 

[Rich]

Gee those pigeons are gutsy, there's players almost stepping on them and they didn't flinch.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Melbourne are certainly bringing it so far.

Doggies seem to have more of the play, but very wasteful.....as if they're not 100% switched on....

They're tired from playing freo from last week.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Beveridge just kept the players away from all the other coaches and absolutely blasted them.

don't think so, 8 day break and last week was under the roof

 

[Banker]

Young team playing pressure game, they will experience different form depending on their recovery.

How does the roof affect lol
