    Round 5 games

    It's been years since I've said this but Melbourne look good. Fast, clean ball movement and an open forward line with mid-sized forwards who are strong overhead.

    It reminds me of the Bulldogs 3 years ago.

    I thought the same thing.

    Melbourne are belting the Lions doing exactly what we would have hoped to do last week; breaking the lines and running through the zone at will. It's enjoyable to watch.

    We certainly can't take the Dees for granted in a few weeks time.

    Brisbane doesn't know what hit them. Melbourne are an exciting team to watch. After an anticipated tough game against the Saints the speedy Demons won't be easy.

    The power are playing very well against the saints. Putting a heap of pressure on them. They are just not taking their chances. The saints have only taken 1 mark inside 50
    For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

    They look a different unit without the big man up forward.

    And the other big man is a spud. Lake will tear him a good one next week.

    I'm as worried about the Demons as I am about the Saints.

    Power deserved to win, as they were the dominate team all night, just couldn't kick accurately. Rodan was BOG, his work rate was sensational; always seemed to be in the stoppages, and pushing ball fwd.

    Schultz could be anything. He reads the ball well, just can't seem to get the ball cleanly, and his kicking needs to improve.

    Koschiz, he looks a shadow of his former self.

    Interesting stat that Brisbane concede the most goals in the centre corridor.It was a tactic employed often tonight,good to see The Demons performing well.I'll be glad to be proven wrong about Bailey!! Folks bring your sandbags for Friday night massive flood forecasted.

    Couldn't agree more, and the tv add for it is so dull. Absolutely no personality at the saints.

    What is everyone's thoughts on today's game? You have the feeling the pies really shouldn't lose this, and I reckon if there's another ZAHARAKIS!!! my left field theory on the AFL being completely pre-scripted will be proven true.

    In all seriousness, I just hope this game is another classic finish. (and that Didak finally gets pinned for diving)

    Not enjoying this game..

    Collingwood belting another side just makes me cringe. Cant stand watching the 3 'D' show ponys (Didak, Davis, "Daisy").

    I've already turned it off, the panning back to the fans in B&W was more that I could stand.
