you'd hate to be the bloke on the interchange trying to stop him running out on the ground, like putting a piece of salmon infront of a grizzley bear and telling him to sit down and wear the red vest.

you're starting to stammer,and this is something octogenarians like OD get at because of their age.

either take 2 bex and lie down or get back to assimilating youth into the world.

He doesn't need to ease into the game, he has a thirst for the contest I haven't seen in a Melbourne player since his dad!

don't worry.

Would love to thrash a team for a change. (And not have a heart attack in the last 10min of the game)

i thought that because Adelaide came back, and we'd fight them off, and they'd come back again etc. this made the win more crucial for our playing group as we held our reserve and showed some resilience to fight out a win. Much more beneficial than a thumping.

Although a thumping this weekend, with us giving one for a change, would be absolutely amazing

I will remind you that our largest score for the year is 81.

As Paul Roos has said defence first and the offensive side will come.

I don't think thrashings are on Roos agenda yet - first and foremost is restricting the doggies scoring.

It's not that pretty but I am more than happy to watch it for the rest of the year if it means we are competitive. Next year we can develop our Geelong like offensive game.

I think we are going to make it really tough for the doggies to kick a winning score, the game will be decided on if they can restrict us at the other end.

Put down the sword, I am about to brace myself against your head.

A few on Demonland are saying the doggies defence is poor and their forward line clearly lacks a key target so this might come down to a battle of the midfields.

Can't underestimate the dogs though - they have been very competitive/consistent this year. However I can't help but think Melbourne at $3 is pretty good odds.

Ok so I'm going to my first match as a member. What gate do I go through?

good on ya.

Am stuck in Bairnsdale this weekend. Enjoy. Go Dees

They have, but so have we really, only been belted once

I feel as though Dawes up front might prove to be the difference, the crows mids are better than the dogs and we restricted them

[Vagg 2,439]

I realise someone had to make way for Garland. But, I can't help feeling for Alex. Really don't think he's put a foot wrong since coming into the side. Only possible positive is that, maybe, he needed a rest and chance to freshen up.

Can't really argue with the choice of who had to go, either, given the two other obvious choices (Pedersen & Dunn) have both been playing good footy.

I guess it's a good sign when it's not easy to decide who to drop to make way for someone who needs to come back, such as Col...

Welcome - it should be pretty obvious

[McQueen 17,867]

I tipped our 3 point victory last week so in an attempt to go two in a row:

Dee's will romp home 8 points this weekend.

Pedersen BOG.

I don't think Dunn was ever an 'obvious choice' - he has been starting 18 for the last 2 years - just as important as McDonald

Yes, and we restrict them to 22 points.
