Wait - the siren might be tv production thing. I thought it might have been the megaphone in the stands, but it’s coming in with a backing track on the Nine replay.

Game 734 — 22–2
Shutting out the Broncos from scoring more than a measly penalty goal. You love to see it. Melbourne weren’t exactly dominate, but these are the wins that you build upon.

The Greg Louganis of fullbacks.

If Harry Grant is the hooker that cried wolf, Walsh has to be the fullback

Rugby league. Chris Butler really doesn’t like it.

Carrigan’s tactics are very funny and obvious.

It’s a very muted vibe here. Really odd

Surely Melbourne direct traffic to the right flank now against Cobbo.

That though was dumb. Giving away dumb penalties.

Well that was equal parts horrifying and amusing.

S28E23 Preview – Head on collision Big Battle LVIII

⚡️ NEW POST ⚡️

Previewing tonight’s action while looking back at a 2017 classic AND Melbourne’s Thursday night football stats… which aren’t as counterintuitive as playing on a weeknight.

That statement. Oh man.

They can self-flagellate all they like, but surely at this point just releasing the Indigenous jersey might have been the better play.

Melbourne’s habit of playing down to the level of their opponents almost comes back to bite them. A frustratingly poor display that does not bode well.

Playing with 15 isn’t great. Can we not keep doing this.
