Haha the state of the crowd at the G. Melbourne supporters have just given up

Roughie kicks 6 in his farewell

What's AFL? ...
Beat the Bulldogs, win by more than Port and rely on the Eagles.
Under control.

Ross Lyon goooorn. Sacked with a week left in the season/ Seems the CEO got the ass at the same time.

CEO doubled down on his support for Lyon so had to go.
Watching the news here in Perth it was the lead story at the start of the 6 o’clock bulletins.
Seems a bizarre thing to do with a week to go in the season. Not sure what they achieve by doing it this way.

You tend to hear similar things about him,smart football brain, very good at walking into a club and getting instant results, but burns bridges and can lose the faith of the players
Maybe at this stage of his career, might make a very handy assistant to a club with the cash to spend

i am assuming to get the news in before end of season reviews for non-finals teams start. Turn a few heads?
There could conceivably be 4 more coaches sacked, or moving on, before this season is done and dusted.

his go to game plan seems outdated too

With Jordan Lewis announcing his retirement as well, this video has been doing the rounds
If that was rugby, Jordan wakes up to a red card

Geelong whack the fuck out of Carlton to go top.
West coast trip up on Hawthorn to fall to 5th! They can get back to 4th only if the Lions can somehow beat Richmond today. Lions will come top, or more likely 3rd and back to the mcg in a fortnight
8th still up in the air. Bulldogs win they are in. For either Adelaide club to get in they both need to win, and by a margin.

@mariner4life Geez didn't West Coast look like they have run out of gas at the pointy end last night

I'm willing to cut them a little slack because Clarkson and the Hawks pull off these wins all the time

Brisbane should have top 2 sewn up , Richmond would have to win by something like 100-37 to go ahead on percentage, that ain’t happening,
Now if Richmond did win today , we could have Richmond v Brisbane backing up again at the Gabba next game and west coast out of the 4, west coast and hawks have turned this on its head , Collingwood are back in the 4 for keeps now and have become a very real threat if they weren’t already,
If Richmond lose it’s cya later, I’m hearing grimes could be a late withdrawal, with rance and stack already out that could make life very difficult down back

yep there is no doubting Clarkson had done his homework on tactics and match ups but also some of the key eagles looked tired - Gaff and Yeo and Darling

I actually think every team in every code has its off day where it can look vulnerable ,
We see it often enough with the allblacks , no reason it doesnt happen in other codes

This is the advantage the MCG tenants have. Lions have been flying, playing well everywhere. But this is only our 2nd go on the G all year.
And 2 weeks from finals we are finding we lack a bit of foot speed for these open spaces.
Bit late to do anything about it now. We're competing hard but we lack a bit of pace. Neale doing everything he can, Zorko leading by example.
