Never on? It was the only option - it obviously wasn't 'the play' ...but it was a really good kick (with a really lucky bounce) and a great chase.

It's a shame Will won't be around for a few weeks...seems to have stepped up tonight. Hoffman is trying too hard - my guess would be he might be in the crosshairs.

Absolutely inept from Melbourne. Never seen such a pea hearted performance. Hoffman needs to be dropped.

I don't know how to react to that other than to say we BADLY needed the 2 points.

Lots to work on.

Chambers tonight was good in attack and defence , Roberts did more than young Hampton has been doing just hope he can be consistent.

Blazza let it go mate, Roberts made afew handling errors but was dangerous all night !! That break and set up for Cronks try was sublime!!

Smith, Cronk, Chambers the best on field, Young T showing promise, Slater and Hoffman were shite lol

Yea not sure what you're on about. Good for you though. Was a classic Ben Roberts game, touches of stupidity and a touch of class.

I find this whole Roberts thing funny. I mean the way he just came into his own when we were down lol.
Chambers was outstanding and Proctor too. Really think Jesse needs help up front, Norrie really doesn't offer much.
As much as I think Hoffy is past it I thought he showed great commitment tonight and tried till the very end.

Slater has always been suspect under the high ball and his error tonight was one of many this year. I won't be popular, but him and Hoffman are past there best and have been extremely ordinary all year, tonight only reinforced that there days are numbered. I thought KP, Cam and Will played well, Jesse as always stepped up. Not confident of coming up against out supposed bogey team next weeekend mind you...
