It’s even more obvious given Gawn basically unlocked god mode last night. Easily the best game I’ve ever seen a ruck play.Yeah ..... cause its only Melbourne who are in the midst of a heavy training load
No May ..... No Melbourne

I hope you’re right on training loads, but do training loads make you kick to the opposition’s spare defender over and over?
I don’t think Melbourne are the only team to have unlocked the magical secret of increasing training loads in the lead up to a bye.
As if it’s some sports science secret only the demons fully understand and implement.
I guess Adelaide and Collingwood overtook us around this time last season too by your logic?
He went full Simon Madden last night. Amazing game from Max.
And we are 18th for pressure over the last 6 weeks. Still 4-2 in that period including a win over the saints. Quiet a few need to lift with the pressure. It was quiet noticeable at times last night.
If we don’t lift our pressure we’ll get done by the pies. No doubt about it. I thought last week was a wake up call but it wasn’t. So we’ll see what happens against the pies.

Turns out all you had to do all along was out score them!
Of all premiers over the past decade, the only teams Melbourne aren't better placed than after 12 rounds is Hawthorn 2013 and....Melbourne 2021. And even then we are pretty similar in terms of points for and against compared to last year. We only had that one loss but if we beat the Pies we'll basically be in the exact same position in 2022 at the bye as we were last year at the bye.
Sydney were comfortably the better team last night and won off the back of two contentious free kicks. I think they would have found a way to win regardless but to not be the better team on the night and still be in a position to win with 4 minutes left probably gives the best indication of where we are at. Freo absolutely went another notch last week. But people are carrying on like this is the fall of Melbourne. Give me a break. Aside from Melbourne last year it's extremely rare for a team to go through a season without a 6+ goal loss. Richmond 2017-2020 rings a bell, because they had some pretty bad losses throughout those years.
Last year was Melbourne taking a league by storm. What is really going to determine how good they are is if they can rise up a level at a time when other teams are getting closer to their 2021 form. We're 10-2 and people are carrying on like these losses are unheard of from premiership teams. It's just not true.
We got some issues right now but we've been uninspiring all year and are still 10-2. Regardless of the competition that's still 10-2.

Is that his strike rate with the ladies?
I do sleep better after a couple of losses knowing I’ve seen a flag in my lifetime. Something I was worried I’d never see. Oh and we’re still 10-2 and top of the ladder second at worst after this round. But we’re in a rut.

Questions now have to be asked about whether Simon Goldstein's off field issues are destabilising the club.
I think we also saw last night that the Petracca vs McCartin debate is wide open again.

I reckon Goody is bluffing everyone. Hes thrown the last 2 games like Carlton in 95 and loaded up on the opposition to fund the footy trip
Saints recruiters now vindicated after all these years. They just had him at the wrong end of the ground.
Let’s just put aside all Petracca has achieved.
