    Melbourne taking up to the squawks. I think Mitchell falls under the protected species with the umpires.

      If the Dees can pull this off the Top 4 gets blown wide open. Especially with Sydney giving Port a bath.

      If the Hawks get up by a kick I'll lose my shit.

          A win they can all crow about that comes too late to mean anything, against average competition.

          All of a sudden the tigers are 'roaring again'. All the problems are wallpapered over. Riewoldt gets to fist pump up to the upper decks.

          It comes late enough in the season to give them something to crow about all summer too.

          Isn't it great caring so much about other teams games instead of being so interested in football that you're finding out about results in the paper the next day.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              Paul Roos should exit early on a high note.

                Great win from Melbourne. The Hawks looked really lazy with their use by hand in the last quarter.

                I wish we had one or two more players who could kick the footy into the forward like Watts did in the last ten minutes.

                  Gives us a lot of hope. Good win by the Demons. Glad they beat those arrogant Hawks.

                    I think you might be on to something on Watts ,Jee.
                    Melbourne were super . Hawthorn have lost their depth

                      You can never have enough quality kicks in a football team. It's impossible.

                      It's great being brave and working hard and fantastic when everyone goes when it's their turn but if you don't have blokes who can kick it to other blokes (and lots of them) then you're wasting your time.

                        Yep good call Jeemak. You've been behind Watts for a while and he's proved himself in the last few games. He's surprised me.
                        Watching the Sydney game, really pleased for Alier Alier. Little bit smaller and less powerful than Majak but looks totally at home on a footy field, composed and competent at ground level. His back story is pretty moving as well. Good on him.

                        Port - for a team that prides itself on its supposed toughness, their tackling has been pretty limp.
                        Sydney will move to first position now. Very well rounded team.
                        Their smaller players are tough as nails - Barker, Heney, Jack, etc.

                          I hope we've realised this and prioritise it in our recruiting.

                          Dale, Webb, Daniel and Williams look to be more than proficient kicks which is the right start. I'm not sure how Dunkley will mature.

                            I know the AFL dish it out on a silver platter for Sydney, but they couldn't possibly get away with giving them eight points for today's win!

                              Oh was I wrong? They showed a live ladder before but I may have misread it.

                                Dunkley can roost a ball and in general field play is pretty good, however, he is a bit erratic kicking for goal so hopefully he will improve in that area.
