Hey guys, just wondering if anyone thinks we are a chance this sunday.... I think that we will lose by about 7~10 goals... So here guys put your thoughts forward... My score prediction is Melbourne 10.8.68 to geelong 17.10.122...

In my heart I'm optimistic, however I think we'll get killed. A lot of young blokes will get toweled up on Sunday and all I hope is that they watch, follow, tackle and learn. 10 goal loss at least is my realistic answer. My optimistic answer... Showing we're not push overs and making the cats earn a win if they can even get that.

Geelong 17.15. 117

Melbourne 9.9.63

Crowd: 43,962.

Melbourne 8.10 58 Geelong 24.17 161

Ablett 50 Possies.

Melbourne 12.9.81

Geelong 18.21.129

Goals - Davey 3, Robbo 2, Miller 2, Newton 2, McLean 1, Jones 1, Maric 1

Best - Davey, McLean, Petterd, Jones, Martin, Bruce

Davey to have his career best game with 33 touches and 3 goals

McLean to get 30 touches and heaps of clearances

Newton to keep his spot (at expense of Bate) and take some telling marks and kick straight.

Petterd to return to half back where he belongs.

Outside the Richmond game, this will be our best performance of the year.

Geelong 118 Melbourne 46

Melbourne 11.5.71

Geelong 18.21.129

GEEL: 16.5.101 D MELB: 7. 11 . 53

Ablet 47 possessions and 5 goals

Best: Davey, Moloney, Rivers, Frawley

Its a win if we dont get defeated by 100pnts

Melbourne 11. 6. 72 Def. Geelong 10. 10. 70

Crowd: 34, 611.

The betting line for the game is Melbourne +59.5 points.

So I will say we'll beat the line which would be a 'victory' of sorts.

Geelong 101, Melbourne 59.

Geelong 125 def Mel 75 in front of 35000

i think the catters may have a mini let down, dropping their guard against us, so only recording, Oh , '64, odd points, for the margin.

I'll have a punt

Our score - 7 - 11 = 53

margin - - - - - - - - 64

Their score - - - - = 117

Melbourne 12.9.81

Geelong 18.21.129

Goals - Davey 3, Robbo 2, Miller 2, Newton 2, McLean 1, Jones 1, Maric 1

Best - Davey, McLean, Petterd, Jones, Martin, Bruce

Davey to have his career best game with 33 touches and 3 goals

McLean to get 30 touches and heaps of clearances

Newton to keep his spot (at expense of Bate) and take some telling marks and kick straight.

Petterd to return to half back where he belongs.

Outside the Richmond game, this will be our best performance of the year.

That works for me BBP, it would could still probably be regarded as a best case scenario, but that would give us some dignity at least!!!

Apropos......
