You're probably right. I'm just don't want to get my hopes up too soon.

True.
We sacked you years ago, Pagan. Get off our board and move on.
Plowman seriously impressive game.
Weitering very poor. But at least this week he didn't do that thing where someone sneezes in his direction and he goes down like he's been shot, limps to the bench, gets a rub down, gets some strapping, and comes back 10 mins later at 100%.

The way i look at it we only need onother 5 or so goals a game and our defence to get even better limiting opposition to around 10 a game .we have gone from around 7 goals a game last year and early this year and now we are up to around 12 a game..My observation for the night ..
He's an elite mid that plays at HB
The difference was 5 late goals at the end of the 2,3 and 4 quarters.
Not sure how Kerridge is getting blamed for the goal where Weitering gave a truely ridiculous free in a 1 on 3 marking contest.
The fact this loss hurts tells me we are on the right path. Go over to the Pies board a look at the kind of apathy we experienced 2 years ago.
Amazing when you come back from the game enraged at the umpiring and watch the replay and you see the umpires actually did a pretty reasonable job.
We do need to stop hand balling back into dangerous spots to opposition players rather than getting OOB or even giving up a free.
Charlie is now playing the footy I was expecting at the start of the year 10 weeks late to be the RS.
Macredie doesn't do much but gee everything he does is good. We need to get him more involved.
Loved Caz's marking. I don't want him to get 20 possessions just 10 marks.
After a blessed start to the year we are really starting to reck up some injuries.

So bloody frustrating, but then you have to look at the big picture. We run out that game with no injuries, Still had so many opportunities.
I ****ing Love Charlie.

that name again?
Have to settle for a like until Chief adds a 'love' option to BF.
Really?? Ummm, I thought football was a team game? Difficult to decompose that down to particular individuals without knowing what their roles were. Obviously, things like turn-overs and poor skill execution sits on the individual but It is difficult to comment on the effectiveness of a players without knowing what they were supposed to be doing.
Why wouldn't Melbourne consider themselves a premiership side. This competition has always been about giving yourself enough opportunities to win a flag that you should eventually win one. WB showed last year that for some teams, one finals finish is enough, for Geelong etc they needed to present year after year before finally winning. Put yourself in the first four positions on the ladder and you are a contender.
i think menzel was a little bit of that while he played for us.
like troy, SOJ seems to remind me of a old NM player, craig sholl for some reason. medium forward type, but a bit silkier than craig, and more of a pure forward rather than a utility.
kicks a couple of goals in play in this clip (4:30 and 6:30), but he kicked plenty on the lead
Sam Docherty's work rate is through the roof. I personally believe he is best suited at half back (I think his courage in the air suits hbf), but if we can get good hb replacements for Doc and Simmo then I agree. He is tough and courageous as they come, he's been excellent through the middle lately.
Plowman was excellent! I haven't looked at the votes yet but he will get at least a couple by me. Underrated player!
I'm a big fan of Fisher. His composure through traffic and his periphery vision is superb, he is so slick. His stats are low because he is stuck in a forward pocket most of the game (on top of being a first year player) but I am really confident on him. His possessions really count.
