The Swans are done. Only scraped through against a depleted Pies team with the last goal of the game.
You would expect to at least win that one.

You are clearly trolling. Get a life
We were limping to the line.
We nearly got beaten by Brisbane the week before.
Our team and maturity is better than last year. Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Hogan, Salem, Harmes, Melksham and others are having better years than 2017. It's pretty lazy to think we're the same team.
I’m talking this season

They were a lot like our young group of 2015 in that regard. They needed to assert themselves, and were agressive. Apart from Buggs brainfade that seems to have cost him his spot, no biggie really to me.
Need a statement game, that's for sure. Smashing bad teams is evidence that there could be more to the team, but at the end of the day it's just winning what you're expected to, Essendon were a form team too (I know they beat the Swans).
My apologies, you were to. Not sure why I thought otherwise.
If the Dees finish strongly from here I'll put it down to the lessons learned from the Coollingwood and St Kilda losses. We're defending far better now on the outside and across the ground.
You learn more from your losses than your easy wins.

After last year, Melbourne fans won't get excited about finals until a minute after the first final starts. Which is probably wise. I reckon they will make finals, doubt they will make top four though given the tough run.

They needed to assert themselves by punching opponents in the jaw? Buggs wasn't the worst or the first for the year, so it was clearly an issue at the club at the time

Lewis belting Cripps from behind & breaking his jaw was worse IMO

While we haven't beaten any top 8 side (and I was quick to point that out to Collingwood) surely the Adelaide win at Adelaide Oval gives us massive credibility considering Adelaide themselves have won some big games recently against West Coast, Geelong and Port.

So you're saying Bugg is a vital player for Melbourne?
The force is strong with this one

Dropped a couple of close games because you were missing Hogan and Lewis. Bugg was just the cherry on the shit culture cake
