So true, Frankie. A win tonight keeps us in the hunt for a top 4 spot
.
On last night's game, Melbourne's second half was reminiscent of our comeback wins in the 2019 PF and 2020 GF. Right now they are the side to beat as they've knocked over all the other top sides comfortably. The next 4 months will see whether or not they have peaked too early like we did in 2018. Hopefully, we're there when it matters later on in the year to take them on and close enough to full strength unlike when we played them on Anzac Eve.
As for the MRO, let's see if Sparrow is treated the same way as Pickett was. Sparrow ran past the ball and collected Daniel Rich with a high bump. Wayne Carey said since Rich carried on playing afterwards then Sparrow will have nothing to worry about as “we don’t penalise the act, we penalise the outcome”. Ummm .... that rule didn't apply to Pickett.
