    They looked strong all over the ground. Jackson stepped right up. Their prime movers have to be nullified otherwise they collectively just overwhelm you.

    I remember when Glen Archer jumped over the fence in a under age game because someone was rough with his son...or something like that. Be great if he did it again.

    Melbourne's best is clearly the best in the competition. However, their best is not on show every week and they are clearly gettable when they aren't 100% on - hell, we were 5 mins and 1-2 more goals from getting them in the GF. What they did last night was just reinforrce their credentials as the deserved #1 seed.

    Last night was more of a reflection on Brisbane than Melbourne to be honest. Their credibility as a contender was torn to pieces last night. That was the meekest, most inept performance in a big game from a top of the ladder team in many a year. Melbourne destroyed them psychologically last night and I don't think their playing group will recover for the remainder of 2022. And with their age profile as well as their poor finals record, their current playing group may not recover without some regenration of the list. Was reminscent of the Bulldogs circa 2010 when we started running out of juice under Rocket.

    I didn't see the game as I am currently away, but looking at the stats, the Melbourne mids smashed Brisbane. Brissie may be vulnerable due to the lack of good mids. Neale, best mid, but was well held

    Honestly they have holes everywhere. But the lack of explosive mids and depth in the middle was glaring last night. Berry and McLuggage have stagnated and not made the jump from very good to elite like Petracca/Oliver did or Serong/Brayshaw or even Bailey Smith has done for us. To be fair they missed Zac Bailey last night - he is a jet and has taken his game to the next level.

    Yep, it highlighted the point of difference Bailey brings, which is hurt factor.

    Even when they were on top in the first quarter, they just didn't look 'dangerous'.

    This is the truest thing ever written on this board and yet I hate Sedat for writing it.

    I don't want to get peoples hopes up too much by Essendon are behind at 3 quarter time against the Eagles
    Does it get much better than a Bulldogs win and a potential Bombers loss on the same night? I'm giddy.

    The Eagles have been slowly getting better, how nice the Injectors might be the ones to cop their best performance.

    Rutten might have to stay over there for a while for his safety.

    Best part is Essendon have had 23 scoring shots to 19.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    The first goal of the quarter could be telling.

    Well a goal at the near 22 minute mark has the Eagles 21 points up.
