Which Melbourne will turn up in Adelaide this afternoon?

The one that played in Round 1 or the one that half played in Round 2?

The one that played in the first half last week or the one that spectated in the second half?

Good question. If it's the round one team I reckon we'll lose by 4 goals (or if Adelaide are well off their game we might get closer)

If the round two team turn up. Well... 80 point + thrashing

Another Saturday morning and I am optomistic as always. I am looking forward to that crucial moment, and we all know the scenario. Melbourne gets away to a good competitive start and them slowly but surely the opposition puts us to the test. I will be watching more closely than ever who rises to the challenge and who has been beaten to submission one too many times. Go Dees.

Im feeling very victorious today.

Dee's by 17 points.

Adelaide are going alright but they are hardly unbeatable. Cut their cheap kicks where they set up play from the back half, tag smith with Kent if he plays, try to cut Sloane out around stoppages (in my opinion more damaging than paddy) and pressure the ball carrier through the midfield so tex doesn't get it lace out. I like our chances more at adelaide oval since it's not as wide, we get cut up from teams in the corridor because we defend too wide. This enables us to narrow our zone slightly. If nev and Tommy can keep Betts and walker quiet, and paddy doesn't go bonkers, we could be a sniff. Providing the team answers to last week's capitulation- a trait we haven't seen for years now.

Not wasting another beautiful Perth 27c and sunny day watching the game. I'll record it and will watch it later at night, that way I don't feel so bad having a bottle red or two drowning the pain.

Who will be at the game?

There's a difference between optimistic and stupid... We are no chance, back to the old days where you go into a game knowing we are no chance of winning, and the best thing to hope is we are in the game at qrt time and take that as a win

I usually defer to Garry Lyon when I do my football tips.

In Round 1, he picked the Suns to win. He got it wrong.

In Round 2, he picked the Dees to win. He got it wrong.

In Round 3, he picked the Crows to win. I am hoping for a hat trick from him.

Call me stupid as I am really looking forward to this game. It will be a good indication of where we are at and I am expecting a tough 4 quarter game. I am expecting to lose however it will be closer than many think. Hogan, Watts and Vanders to have standout games.

Last year we got smashed by GWS. The next week we lost to Port by 3 points. Is it stupid to think the same thing will happen?

definitely a two bottle match methinks. Will Jones play? Possibly 3.

We are going to get flogged, I can feel it in my cramping stomach.

12 goal loss.

I also have a hunch that it will be closer than what people think, however, ignoring the experts, I think that we will bring home the bacon in a repeat of last year.

Actually was Geelong who flogged us the week prior so that gives your point more credit... But Port were in a form slump then and adelaide are red hot atm.. Only chance we have is adelaide turning up complacent

I was feeling more than slightly morbid about our chances until I read this thread, but the optimism shining through in some of the posts has lifted my spirits to some extent. What a wonderful place this is ...........sometimes!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
