    Young is a reasonable player, but he's flaky and weak and I don't miss him at all.
    I never made the argument that Young was good. Said he would playing 1st for us right now. Fact is he selected weekly in a side, that’s top 8.

    You didn't have to say it, you're commentary on him did it for you.

    Which is fine, I don't have an issue with that being your take.

Their reaction when Sullivan got the goal?the jubilation on the bench, Daicos & Macrae jumping for joy that a journeyman got a goal.

    Lippa has improved in ways that I wonder if he would have with us. They?ve managed to find him a role where he is thriving even with a midfield stacked with Daicoses, de Goey and a still highly effective Pendlebury.

    Their system rarely breaks down even though it could be seen as taxing (one of our explanations for our own fluctuations in form), they extract the max from their veterans, fringe players buy in 100%. Their captain has dash, speaks beautifully and on GF Day he ran down the race beaming ear to ear with an ?Isn?t life and footy amazing? expression.

    I am not mad on Jamie?s tatts or Maynard?s hairstyle but neither of them leave anything on the field and like everyone in this team they play with passion.

    They are much much greater than the sum of their individual players, like we were in 2016.

    Yep I am 100% jealous. I didn?t think they could win the flag again but I reckon they will give it an almighty shake and if they don?t get there it won?t be due to conditional effort.

    I cant believe Melbourne have the audacity to play a tall (Petty) in a position of need.
    So left field.

    Melbourne's defence is amazing.

    No better or worse than Harmes' or Daniel's tatts and Cody's hair let's be honest.

    Lippa hasn't really improved, a bit of natural progression. He always was the type of player who looks better than he is in a very good team.

    He's OK.

    Pretty pathetic game. Just switched over and 11 goals total for two teams at 3/4 time
