Mrs 'oldfart and I will be driving down from Canberra for the game. Please let it be a win!

Though only the overly optimistic will predict a win for us I expect us to slug it out and give WC a tough game but they seem to have most of the positives. There has been a refreshing change in attitude from our boys and I expect it to continue. If so, improvement will continue slowly and steadily until we can field a best 22

No Gawn...

Hopefully Fitz and McD are good to go...

I have finally finished watching the Saints game (sorry - thread locked so can't post there)......what an amazing improvement over 2012-13. Unrecognisable. A team with a game plan and confidence to retain possession and be patient.

Unfortunately the perfect storm is what beat us - preferred 3 forwards missing and the 4th preferred out early PLUS the effective loss of the one player in the AFL who can run with and hold Reiwoldt

Dunn & Watts in particular are just totally different players this year.

I have little doubt that had we had one of Clark, Dawes or Hogan, preferably >2, or Fitz playing the full game and TMcD being uninjured we would be far more positive, at 1-0

the storm hasnt gone away unfortunately...in fact the cyclone warning has been uprated further

Gee, with those ins, if any one of Fitzpatrick, Watts or McDonald doesn't get up, we are absolutely, completely rooted.

I just want to see us compete for four quarters.

Then may I suggest watching pre 1965 videos of the MFC games

Or maybe if a few of our players [such as Vince] had of kicked straight!

Anyone else having trouble with the footy tipping app?

It takes forever to open if it does then doesn't go to round 2 seems to be stuck on rd 1

Dave Misson on the injury update with Matt Burgan said Hogan at least 2-3 away

Hogan hasn't played a game.... I'd be uncomfortable if he came in as the stand alone main man.... We need to ease him in, with the support of Dawes and Fitzpatrick (Clark)... It could real damage his confidence, if he comes in and get smashed by a number 1 defender... Hopefully Dawes is playing when Hogan comes in...

Sod all people here, looks like we could lose money on our first home game.

Got a sneaky feeling Vince will burst out of the middle and kick a goal right out of the gate.

BALL. Jesus Christ

We look atrocious.

That was a term reminiscent of 2012-13.

This game is making me vomit, have we even improved?

Agreed. Ins Viney, MacK, Gawn, Hogan and Jamar and Dawes ////. Fiz, Spens and Pedo all out.

anyone else see the irony in Byrnes leading our goal kicking....lol

More pathos than irony
