Jetta was a Jet playing his best game for the year, Hogan bagged a lazy 5, TMac got 4, Brayshaw had the ball 39 times, Oliver 37, Gawn had 57 hitouts.

I could get used to this….Another weekend, another big win making it 6 on the trot for the Mighty Dees. This time it was the recent premiers the Doggies under the roof at Etihad Stadium who felt the full force of a side brimming with confidence, playing for one another and hell bent on erasing the heartache of the end of last season and indeed past seasons. Just read that paragraph again. You would have been a brave person to predicted this after our poor showing against the Hawks but here we stand 3rd on the ladder with a bumper percentage with a massive opportunity to finish at the pointy end of the ladder as we head into the second half of the season.
On Sunday it was the Doggies that came out of the blocks better taking the lead at the first break evaporating any chance we had of obtaining the league record for most consecutive quarter wins. From there on, however, it was all Melbourne and we really never looked like getting beaten as we ran out 49 point winners to celebrate Jonesy’s 250th game in style.
There was one big dampener on the weekend with Lever suffering a season ending injury. I am sure I wasn’t the only one praying for the best but it wasn’t to be. As disappointing as it is we now have more depth in our squad then I care to remember so an opportunity will now arise for someone to step up and fill his role. On Sunday Jetta was a Jet playing his best game for the year, Hogan bagged a lazy 5, TMac got 4, Brayshaw had the ball 39 times, Oliver 37, Gawn had 57 hitouts, Fritsch was fantastic as were Hibberd and Neal-Bullen in another percentage lifting win.
The Pies! Urghh….A bit of vomit got caught in my throat when Eddie came out this week saying it should be there home game next year. I hate them, always have, always will. This is a huge game on Monday in more ways than one and I sure can’t wait for it. We will win this and go some way to atone for them knocking us out of the finals last year.
