I've never heard a conversation about footy or cricket that I haven't wanted to join in immediately. If you disagree with me, you'll be made to work very hard to change my mind!

Thanks Johnny, good to hear from you, but you can follow all our racing action on www.theroarracing.com.au!

I quite liked Daquinsweet Junior as a roughie last year, and he ran well! He certainly loves two miles.

It’s a worthy point, NH. Since Melbourne’s preliminary final run in 2018, they’ve made one prelim in five seasons despite finishing top four three times. We are entitled to expect better/more, in my opinion, especially given the top end tools they have.

Certainly very good points.

I think that was the original plan, and also the only way it could remotely work. Some would argue that Grundy was better in the games he played this year than Jackson was for them last year. All very strange.

Definitely good points. And it felt like Melbourne should have been as well placed as any of those teams you mention to at least win a second flag. Time does start slipping away quickly, they’ve got a lot of that core group 28 or older going into next year.

Yes, I forgot to give Salem a whack in particular. Horrible player now. Feel like Bowey maybe hasn’t gone backwards, but just hasn’t gone forward either? He was pretty solid from day one.

Yes, and the amount of players that got squeezed out for more opportunities and more money due to the big ticket deals of Franklin and Tippett.

Damning statistics around McDonald. Certainly playing one man short with him out there.

Did spend plenty of time at the Crown tables in my younger days, back when we all had more time I daresay. Love it.

You’re talking about that time Cotchin won a contested ball, yes? And comparing it to Maynard running, jumping and charging into an unsuspecting opponent after the ball had left the area?

Agree, it’s impossible to prosecute the case like that, hence why crafty players can get away with it sometimes, as Maynard has done. Played it beautifully.

Shiel should have gone harder and lower, and got Cotchin before Cotchin got him.

Yes, that’s correct. I’m sure he didn’t think he was going to knock him out, but he sure as hell wanted to be physical and rattle him.

Interesting points Murray. Must admit, I’m not worried about other media, just happy to write what I wanted to!

Yep, agree on all points there, particularly around the Dogs and what an unusual ladder that was.

Yep, I think you needed a loss, and the bye was good timing.

Good points. I believe Naughton is generally overrated, but plenty are big on him. And there’s very few I’d swap Weightmore for, in that role.

Phenomenal free kick differential their way in that finals series, that built as it went on.

He’s certainly capable of the bizarre in his exchanges.

Perhaps I just have higher standards for them? It’s something of a surprise to find most supporters don’t.

If I was a Melbourne supporter, I’d be disappointed to be sitting there, that’s for sure. But I suppose one flag in almost 60 years is plenty.

Melbourne are in no man’s land Billy, and not much better than bog average. Last nine games, won five and lost four, with three of those wins by 4, 1 and 4 points. I must have missed all the domination. It certainly didn’t happen against Brisbane where they were comprehensively outplayed, but they are the great wins when you somehow sneak away with an undeserved four points!
