Port Adelaide fits our "teams we beat" criteria i.e. not too good, not too bad, but just right :P

In saying that, I just really don't know.

My guess is that the Dees will see that they play Hawthorn next week, and that they'll probably lose that game. So, it puts increased pressure to win this game and into the the nice win-loss record of 6-4. That means, when faced with the opportunity to look good after the Hawthorn loss (so 6-5), they'll choke in this game and lose, condemning us to be 5-6 after Hawthorn.

^^ from the mind of tormented Melbourne supporter

If Kennedy would like to touch the pill at some point that would be great.

Mat0369 · May 28, 2016, 04:07:35 PM

HE GOT A TOUCH!

Gigantor · May 28, 2016, 04:09:17 PM

Bennedy gets a touch....and there was much rejoicing, yaaaaaayyyyyyy

And I just realised I could have loop holed him with Menadue and McGovern :'( :'( :'( Rookie mistake

What an awful quarter.

Defence held up actually, but we were just awful. Awful.

Port defending well, but that's been made easy by our bad inside 50s.

Let's hope we turn it around

I had actually traded out Kennedy in DT before I knew the BE's, when I realised he was only 60 something and Brown was 90 something I swapped them over. I'm not happy that I made that change now.....
