Knowing our luck it will only be 1 week and he will miss a NAB challenge match come back against us and kick 5 and be the match winner.

Wow, Werridee, you really are scarred!

    Presume nab suspensions get served in premiership season not nab, but can't be sure.

    Looks blatant and dangerous enough to draw a week, but we have to beat the team out there not look for help.

    The AFL never ceases to amaze.

    I just heard on SEN they said on top of Lynch being out, Day and Dixon are also out for round 1. Does anyone know if this is true? I don't want to sweat on who is and isn't playing, but their 3 big forwards being out could pose an issue for them.

    In that case, Ablett to play full-forward and kick 10.

    Day is set to resume through the twos this weekend but not sure about Dixon

    Our confidence is still at a very low ebb when we are sweating on players from the other side being out to help us win.

    I wonder if it will be in my life time when we don't care about the other side?

    Well, the real win for us would be Ablett sitting it out. He's usually the on who takes the game away from us. Plus they tend to fall apart without him.

    I expect Gold Coast to take this to the tribunal and risk Lynch getting 2 weeks.

    They play St Kilda in an extremely winnable game at home in round 2 so will probably wear the risk.

    They need to penalise Harley Bennell for his indiscretions, so why not have him sit out the opening round as well. In my mind, he's their most dangerous player as far as the MFC is concerned.

    This discussion about key outs for the round one match is hilarious reminiscent of the round one match against the Saints last year.

    We were a shoe-in to win due to their injury count. Everyone remember that?

    Only too well... so we obviously need even more of the oppositions best players out :)

    Yes but the difference is GC would have to be missing about 8 of their best 22 for us to go in favourites.

    At this stage, they only have Dixon and Probably Lynch out which is no where near enough for us to be confident of a win. They will likely have all their midfield in.

    On the other hand St Kilda basically gifted us a win with their massive amounts of outs last year. It was a very disappointing loss by us.

    I am reading this thread so clearly I care which opponent stars may be missing but how I long for the day when I think BORING and ignore.

    Then I will know we are good.

    I put us at about a 20% chance to beat the Gold Coast in round 1, even with a few outs. They are a significantly stronger side than us.

    If it was on the Gold Coast yes but it's at our home ground.

    We only lost to them by 8 points last year although it should have been by about 3 or 4 goals if they kicked straight.

    Lynch kicked 2 goals 2 and took 6 marks so he caused us problems.

    The players that they didn't have in that game that will probably play are Bennell, Malceski and Hallahan, while we will have Lumumba, Hogan, Garlett, Newton and Frost.

    We definitely will be the underdog but it will be a lot closer than people think.

    Our team should be a lot stronger than the side that ran out against the Saints last year.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
