Anytime Melbourne go out in straight sets is nice, pity it had to be at the hand of that other bunch of c’s.

 

[Drought Break]

REVENGE!!!

This

We should embrace this. How good would it be to win a flag against this mob

 

[Horaceg]

Hasn't Grundy changed his management since the disaster of going to the Dees?
You feel Goodwin sold Grundy a picture of grandeur, of playing with Maxy, and forming this lethal combo...lol
All it ended up being was delusions of grandeur. Goodwin should be sacked just for destroying someones career.
I love how the media has put a spin on the trading of Grundy into Melbourne, as it was a fantastic idea, but unfortunately just didn't work, but it was worth the risk.
If this was us, the media would be all over us, and making comments like, "what an absolute disaster", "how can they do this to a player and move him on after one year after committing to him for the next 5 years", "what a disgraceful way to treat someone".....etc etc. Yet Melbourne come out of this smelling like roses whilst basically wasting a year of Grundy’s career.

Goodsook, thought he had it all stitched up this year and all he had to do was sit back and watch his two AA big men bring him the silverware, just FYI you need them both playing and in a system that works, just thinking out loud.

 

[Drought Break]

I reckon if Goodwhinge lived in inner Melbourne and drove an SUV, I’d be checking if Brodie Grundy and Josh Schache were the culprits who let down his tyres…
You reckon they wouldn’t feel deflated this morning.

Grundy won’t be defined by winning premierships

Don’t think he would give 2 hoots watching from home counting his millions

Hasn’t fired a shot since signing his contract

He could go to Sydney and be a big chance, have to get through us first but he’s a better chance than Melbourne who are still waiting nearly 60 years to win one…..











………at the MCG!

 

[magpienato]

Either way you look at it, we have a serious chance to bury past demons if we are to make it to the Grand Final. Let go of any fear you have and embrace it. This oppurtunity will rarely come around again. Come Brisbane or come Carlton, this team is as ready as ever for the big stage. Floreat Pica.

 

[jimmy35]

Pretty funny that Melbourne lost that (I'd like them if it wasn't for Goodwin). Scores pretty much level at half time. Carlton played an awful second half - beaten around the footy and horrible turnovers whenever they were out with a chance of attacking - yet somehow Melbourne found a way to not win.

Yep it took some sort of special effort to **** that game up. Melbourne found a way.

Grundy will suit Sydney’s game down to the ground. He’ll also fit in well with the lifestyle up there as well, he go well.

 

[sr36]

Generally I thought the last quarter was of higher standard from both sides than the third, which was as bad as anything I’ve seen all year. Good come from behind win but I disagree that Carlton were that poor in the last.

It was a cracking last quarter.

Goodwin is on cocaine
Can’t believe anything he says

Maybe they can sack him now the season is done?

 

[thebaldfacts]

Good news for Goodwin. The expected scores as shown in the Herald Sun were 82 to 61 Melbourne's way. Guess that means they are in the preliminary

 

[caloschwaby]

And Melbourne are through to the Expected Score preliminary finals!

 

[pablo disco bar]

I'm not hugely invested in either game this week. Comfortable with the better team losing tonight, though does make it easier for Brisbane. We're down to two serious contenders remaining, Pies and Lions.

We need to make it first

Giants are running hot and Port should not be under estimated

 

[Apex36]

Now Brisbane get a piss easy prelim and we struggle. Cool.

What makes you think we’ll struggle against Port or GWS at the G? You know those were two of our biggest wins this season, yeah?

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

So have they let the Pickett bump on Cripps go through to the keeper?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I know what Grundy would have done…. Body on body is his modus operandi.

Grundy is too good for that club. Absolute disgrace that he wasn’t played given how shocking their forward line is, especially when they picked a tall on the sub bench and didn’t even activate him.

Grundy would be never have been able to jump that high off the ground.

Dee's would have won. Lol.

 

[sr36]

Will the afl have the balls to put weitering (and possibly Cripps) into concussion protocols? Doubtful

Weitering being put into the concussion protocol would be based on tests today, but surely there will be a please explain as to why he wasn't taken off for a concussion test based on that footage.

 

[Apex36]

So have they let the Pickett bump on Cripps go through to the keeper?

Unlikely. It will be scrutinised by the MRO.

 

[gouki88]

It’s a good feeling when flogs like Viney & Pickett are off on holidays earlier than our blokes. Pack of campaigners

Someone needs their ass kicked over that.

Has to be a please explain after all the hullabaloo throughout the week, right?

 

[sr36]

I actually don't think many clubs would have done it with their most important player at that stage of a final. If the AFL really wants it in crucial moments, they need to be the one's watching the footage and making a call for a concussion test. Because Carlton would happily pay a $100,000 fine to have Weitering available for the end of that game and the following week. And Weitering is going to be hell bent on continuing.

 

[stormskye]

Blues and Melb boards were very concerned with concussion all week, and yet no problems with picket and blues were happy weitering stayed on the ground. Funny that

Concussion rules for thee, not for me
