Really disappointed with Melbourne's last quarter. Had they kept it levellish there would only be an 85 point differential.

What about the 1st quarter and a quarter when it was 76 to 2?

Yep but they got it back to 7 goals at 3/4 time. I would have taken a 10 goal loss rather than 16.

Frankly Melbourne were lucky Bulldogs took their foot off the pedal in the 3rd. We can't control what others do, if we're going to concern ourselves about percentage differential we should be focusing on games where we took our own foot off the pedal to let teams like Saints back in. We're still not going for the jugular when the opportunity arises like the best teams do on a regular basis.

You're talking to the converted. Hardwick buggering around AGAIN with our gameplan in the first 6 rounds has probably cost us top 4 again.

However no good looking back now. We still have a chance and we have to hammer Bombers and Pies. If WC and North beat the dogs percentage becomes academic. If only one of them win we need to pump Dons for all they're worth.

If he hadn't buggered around with it we wouldn't have got to the more defensive game plans he used to great success midseason.

If you want him to improvise and adapt you have to concede that some things he tried won't work. Not to mention players not executing which is more up to then than him.
 
Can see North knocking off Freo this week and Cats and Crows likely winners.

Big game tomorrow. Big.

Are we officially playing finals?
8th finish at worst?
No we can still miss out unless one of Adelaide (vs Saints) or Geelong (vs Brisbane) lose this week. If we beat Essendon next week we're in.
