Extraordinary turnaround tonight. A lot of Dees soul-searching needed. Cats will pump Brisbane next week.

You’re probably right there. He always looks like he’s been in a scrap.
Melbourne should have put them away earlier - but I’m sort of glad they didn’t. Geelong could struggle next week too - they don’t deal well with weeks off. Brisbane could be in a GF when we all thought they were gone.
Pick #18 is the most prized pick of them all.
Oliver instigated the incident. He had his forearm across Berry's throat with his face to the ground. Berry could only use his hand to get Oliver off him. Berry gave him a bit of a towelling after that incident.
One passenger that stood out for Melbourne was Viney, as he was last week. Looks good against lesser teams but melted under pressure with Brisbane players playing to his left hand side. Even when he is clear going forward he is looking for a handpass rather than further afield.
One comment made before the game was that they were sore after last week but were ok on the day. I suspect they had more than one player carrying injuries.
I think Melbourne sagged in the second half partly because of the roughing up they got from us last week. But overall they are not
the Demons of last year. Berry was huge in the second half and hopefully gets off. Gotta say Charlie Cameron has to be one of the
best players in footy to watch do his stuff. Man, he can motor.
Viney is slow and has poor disposal.
But what alarmed me was the realisation that Melbourne aren't that good. Which means we aren't as good as we thought after week one.
Also, go freo. A non Melbourne final 4 would be great.
Melbourne blew a lot of chances when they had the momentum, and the energy. After half-time they were clearly running on empty, but if they’d taken even a couple of those chances, several of which didn’t even score, they’d likely have won. I was pretty sure they were going to lose when May started berating his teammates in the third quarter. At the time they were still in front.

He’ll get off .
I thought BT's commentary of this incident was absolutely appalling....screaming "there's absolutely no question what Berry was trying to do there!"
Irresponsible Vic bias commentary.....basically imploring the MRP to suspend him. I hope and suspect he will get off....and he should. He was absolutely provoked by Oliver for no reason other than a great tackle.
