Melbourne will be invincible in 2023, or maybe not

[mjp]

For instance, if a midfield like ours decided to get super physical and committed to stopping Port's midfielders I think they'd lose a lot of their edge.

Umm...chances of that actually happening??

Anyone else get the feeling these guys are primed to win the flag.
Just feel like they're hitting their straps, got Oliver to come back, Petty is the long lost key forward, Van Rooyen is there as the second kpf.....

It's all coming together.

If I was a betting man. Demons for sure.

Petty is legit now long lost in the truest sense of the word!

There’s a first time for everything!

I don't mean put on a hard tag, rather, just raise the level and work them over.

We're capable of doing it. For instance, if the midfield showed up with the intent it did in the semi against Brisbane then I'd be confident that Port's midfield would have issues with it.

"Melbourne has rewarded Simon Goodwin with a two-year contract extension through until the end of the 2026 season. Big show of faith from the Demons in their 2021 premiership coach who has taken the group to three successive top 4 finishes."

Back to back straight sets, and no doubt Grundy demands a trade. Probably not how their fans saw this year ending.

Gawn got a real going over from Pittonet and De Koning. He really could have used a chop-out in the ruck tonight.

Could’ve pinched hit Schache, but they didn’t activate him?!?!

He was overwhelmed early against Collingwood also

Feel sorry for Grundy, Collingwood dumped him because of their inability to manage the salary cap, then Melbourne promise him the world and don't play him

Grundy and his manager were extremely naive and deserve half the blame.

Sydney will get him very, very motivated. I think he will be an excellent pick up.

Melbourne have as much elite talent as Richmond did during their dynasty, probably even more. They thought after their flag in Perth that they would have a coronation at the MCG end route to multiple flags. Instead they are 0-4 in finals at the home of footy.

Their president said after 21 that the players won’t feel like premiership players until they win one at the G.

Totally agree.

Try saying that without grinning ear to ear. Spoiler - you can't!
