As for Wines, can you believe that guy beat the Bont for a Brownlow!
I thought Wines was injured and not playing. Didn't sight him all night.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

What did Wines do that year he won the brownlow ???
Bont has a Premiership medal. The other 2 will be trivia questions which no one will know the answer.

DEES AND GOODWIN SLAMMED FOR ?CRAZY? SCHACHE SUB CALL IN SEMI FINAL LOSS
extract from article - full story in link:
?That's one of the worst pre-game coaching decisions that we've seen for a long time.
?Why play a guy that you don't trust to bring on as your sub? Or not play a guy because you don't think he's going to be adding much? That?s crazy stuff to me.
?We?ll see if anyone says anything about that, but I think that's one of the key elements of that last eight or nine minutes.
?Melbourne didn't have a sub to bring on with fresh legs like Carlton did.
?It was 22 versus 23.?

It was unbelievable. Even if you were playing a tall as the sub because of questions over Gawn, wouldn't it be Grundy?
The game definitely would have been different if they could have subbed off McDonald for a runner.
I don't rate Goodwin at all highly.

They kicked 9.17.
Did anyone watch the game? Melbourne were DOMINATING that last quarter sub or no-sub...and kicked 5-points in a row.
Definitely pile on to Goodwin but piling hate on because of the sub? If Voss watch such a genius and Hollands so good, why didn't he put him in the starting 22.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Re: Melbourne will be invincible in 2023, or maybe not
Yeah a bit of extra run wouldn't have straightened up the kicking. Melbourne did what we've done in the past, burned opportunities only to be punished by more efficient opposition.
Simple as that.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Melbourne will be invincible in 2023, or maybe not
Melbourne was terrible wasteful and it was a pleasure to watch them lose and the supporters on the ground lamenting .
I do feel sorry for Schache , his could become the whippling boy for their supporters through no fault of his own.

Re: Melbourne will be invincible in 2023, or maybe not
A better question is why did they bother with McDonald?

"Dwayne Russell can't wrap his head around ..." is a certainly a bold opening if the intention is that you keep reading.
Finger crossed this is a recurring series.

Max’s touch on the line and missed shots hurt.
On the couch they showed that Gawn (worst), Viney (3rd worst) and Oliver (7th worst) kick efficiency in the league!

Gawn worst kick efficiency, but also ranks highest in the comp for 'gobsmacked looks after the umpire pays a free kick against them'.
