Watch Ablett play for frees in the 1st. Should get a few.

Jordie and others need to make him earn those frees. I noticed (and I dare say Jordie would have to) that Gaz pulled up with a limp arm after a big tackle last week... Might have been the same one he fractured last year. Target it.

 

We will lose by 8 goals.

Surely it will be a lot closer than that.

I've tipped the W. I saw enough last week to think we can roll them on our home ground. But either way I think it will be close.


Gold Coast are similar to Carlton and us in that they haven't been fantastic in terms of scoring power, if we make it a tough contest it will be close, they also had 22 marks inside 50 against them last week, if that happens again Dawes, Frawley and Dunn will get the job done for us.

I said last week that we would lose to Carlton by 45 points.

So this week i'm saying we will lose to Gold Coast by 45 points.

Lol! Like.

 

Jones will be all over Gaz. ... did a great tagging job last week whilst getting plenty himself.

It's worth noting that Gaz is a different beast to Marc Murphy.

Consistent. Mindless, but consistent. :)


THE TEAMS

MELBOURNE

B: Alex Georgiou, Tom McDonald, Lynden Dunn

HB: Dean Terlich, James Frawley, Jack Grimes

C: Jack Viney, Dom Tyson, Bernie Vince

HF: Jack Watts, Cam Pedersen, Jordie McKenzie

F: Jeremy Howe, Chris Dawes, Rohan Bail

FOLL: Jake Spencer, Nathan Jones, Daniel Cross

I/C (from): Jay Kennedy-Harris, Matt Jones, Dean Kent, Neville Jetta, Jimmy Toumpas, Michael Evans, Jack Fitzpatrick

IN: Jack Fitzpatrick, Neville Jetta, JimmyToumpas

OUT:

Can't see anyone coming in except if Terlich doesnt come up for his injury.

Gee I hope the Fitzpatrick inclusion doesn't mean Dawes could be a late out.

Clisby very, very stiff

Good chance Jetta is primed to play - doesn't seem necessary to upgrade him otherwise.

So we can assume Jetta has been elevated to the senior list?

Gee I hope the Fitzpatrick inclusion doesn't mean Dawes could be a late out.

Clisby very, very stiff

I think Spencer might be a bit sore, not Dawesy.

Hopefully no change. Although I'd like to see Jetta in.

Yep... There's even a thread about it ;-)

Would almost be as significant. God help us if Fitzpatrick rucks a full game

Yep... There's even a thread about it ;-)

Ah good to c I am on top if things Dee!!!!!!

Thanks

Never too early... Nostradamus played Nostradamus 500 years ago!

It seems to becoming much more competitive for places which is healthy.

Reckon JKH may be rested for Jetta.

Rested? As if being the sub three weeks in a row wasn't enough rest?

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
