Gawn v Mumford is the key to this game.

Gawn knows this. He has stated he wants to be AA this year. He is now in the leadership group. He has had a very good pre-season. In short, he is ready.

I'll back him in. Dees by not much.

 

Didn't Mumford have an injured ankle for most of the NAB games

    Carlton will beat Richmond

    Wouldn't that be a beautiful thing just after they've extended Hardwicks contract.

    It's only Tuesday and I'm so nervous...

    it would just be so good to be 1-0 following on from the good NAB form.

    I'm a bit concerned that Stevie J could run amok, given his recent history against us, and he looked 
    pretty sharp for an old cat in the NAB, who plays on him? 
    If Gawn can beat the Mummy as said, we're a big chance, but we need to ensure they don't get the
    outside game going, or we'll be crucified as we were early last year. 
    Tag shaw (Vince) and Shiel (Viney or Bugg) goes some way to nullifying this.

    Who plays on him? Stevie that is??

    Not sure if your taking the pi$$ but given our history/stance on Grimes that was quite funny.

    Like DemonDave, it's Stevie J that worries me more than the Mummy.  I'm feeling a bit like I did going in to round 1 against GCS last year, albeit this time a little more confident of a win. Many are saying Hogan will get the goals...I'm more of the thought that Garlett and Watts will be our main scorers.  I can see us winning by about 17 points.

    Thats the $64 question. He played pretty much exclusively deep forward vs the Swans in the NAB Cup, so I would assume the same scenario

    in Round 1. He'd be too strong and slippery for Jetta as much as I love the way he goes about it, Tommy Mac and Dunny will have their hands

    full with Patton and Stewart, unless Oscar Mac gets a game, in which case he plays on Stewart and Dunn goes to him this is probably

    the ideal matchup. Otherwise Garland (*gulp*) or Harry O, selection pending of course. Couldn't see Salem or if they are picked Wagner or Hunt being risked on him.

    Wouldn't put it past them - Maric and Deledio out destroyed them in 2014. Carlton's mids are too underdone though I think and Richmond will probably run over them. The tension will be palpable if the Blues are in front late in the game though.

    I'd love to see this, but given I can't stand blues supporters, I'd love to see them lose after the siren and this be the closest they get to a win all year

    HT wasn't it the Suns in round 1? Didn't think we would win but we did and it reflected accurately that the Suns were average without a fit Gazza.

    Colin Garland to have 30 touches, 12 marks, 15 effective spoils, 100%DE and kick a long bomb goal late in the last quarter to put us up by 10 goals.

    :roos:

    Whoa! That's bigger than my fantasy of kicking the winning goal in a granny against Hatehorn.

    Dees by seven goals to finish 2nd on the Ladder after Round One. The following week we will be top of the AFL Ladder with a healthy percentage after beating Essendon by a lazy ten majors.

    This post was enough for me to stop reading this thread lol!! 

    Happy with that.. Would love to beat Essendon by 20 goals tho!! God I hate that club!!!! ?????

    Please remember that every team which played on the 'G in round 1 last year ran out of legs in round 2. Every one of them. They stopped like they were shot at half time, because they were.

    This is an important game for both clubs. I doubt there will be much in it.

    We have added pace this year.

    Selection will be critical.

    Gods i hope it isn't wet.

    Lets win :)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
