I think we can assuming Frawley plays and we have at least another forward target. Who would you play on Wingard? The kids a freak

Short answer, No.

Long answer, No.

I'm not discounting it completely...playing in Darwin oops!, the Alice could produce a slightly more level playing field (excuse the pun), not to mention that had a pretty hard slog against Hawthorn while we had a week's rest. If we don't manage to win, I think it will be a fairly close contest.

I wouldn't put lefty on it but yeah... Pretty much as above...

We can and will

Even though it is in Alice Springs, I'd say it is highly unlikely.

That said, I'd love to be wrong.

Dawes is a massive out. Melbourne have struggled to score goals as is, not sure where they will come from on the weekend.

If we play in Darwin, we have no hope because Port will be playing in Alice Springs. We will need to be on the same ground if we're going to beat them.

Oh crap really? Do you think jetstar will refund my flight?

We might well suffer a setback this week.

Yep, in fact I'm putting a "Rock Lobster" on it!

I have an "Ariel" feeling about this!!!!!!???

Hmmm, they've just pulled off a convincing win against the hawks, seriously.......

A very undermanned Hawks.

Hartlett will get rubbed out for his behind the play strike on Hill.

Every little bit helps.

We'll have to run, and run and run.

That up and down the ground stuff will be a real test.

I'd start with Terlich on him.....hope that our midfield can match it with theirs.

The only way we can do this is to play with hear, ferocious attack on the ball and fierce tackling

Bring jetta in for Wingard.

We are IN the game. How great is that! What a change

And we are not even talking of saving ourselves for Collingwood......

We can but we won't.

With all the development we are seeing in our players, I can't see them stopping the 10+ Port midfielders running through the corridor with risk and abandon. Players like Bail, Terlich, Grimes, will be vital in this game.

One of our main strengths is in our marking ability, so with Dawes out this significantly alters the one thing in our favour.

Port by around 40 I reckon.

Errr no.

Under 40 points would surprise me.

Anything is possible, but I would say it's a very long shot.

If we can run for 120 minutes and deny them clean use of the ball we are a chance. If the MFC can stick with them in the first Quarter we will build confidence.

Can we win? Outside Chance.

I certainly want the players to seriously believe they can win if they stick to their specific tasks

Hmmm, they've just pulled off a convincing win against the hawks, seriously.......

Convincing? Nope

Hawks had most of their best players out and it was in Adelaide

Can we? Yes

Will we? No

We need to make it a scrap, defend really well and understand this isn't Richmond or Carlton skill errors cost goals
