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

All this confidence makes me uncomfortable...

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.

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

Pi$$ was well and truly taken mate.

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. 

Its 50/50 for me..

dees to win 5th game on the trot next week

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.

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!!!! ?????

Cheese sandwiches & defibrillator packed in bag by front door. Hope defibrillator just used to warm up sandwiches - not me. 

Us by 3 points.

Edited March 22, 201610 yr by Monocology

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
