Thank You Uncle Bitters, I can rest easy knowing that you care!

A poll on the Punt Road End site has 47% saying Melbourne will win by a 21 to 50 point margin....

I'm not sure I am comfortable with this..altho the bookies still have the Toiges as favourites

Not sure why they're favourites with the bookies, we've won the last 3-4 vs them, we're in much better form and have a clear advantage in the ruck/midfield. 

from what i can see we win unless we play a shocker.

you can be as cynical or optimistic as you want, it still has zero influence on who will win the game.

Petracca is listed as an emergency, so there is time on Friday or Saturday to release a video of him calling his mum or dad telling them he is now playing. Announcing him as an emergency stokes the interest in this game and who's in or not.  All eyes will be on tomorrows training. interesting the mixed feelings it brings out, do we want Jeffy to have another week off, or want him in possibly at the expense of Petracca who we have waiting so long to see run out in the red and blue.

Jones came off in the final minutes last week and on radio they said an injury. I thought they may have chosen to rest Oliver when we play the GC in a few weeks time. 

Wow wasnt expecting Christian to be named but it would be great if he did play. 

I hope we get a great crowd and the melbourne fans turn out. Would be great if we could repeat last years effort. 

[Ted Lasso 18,914]

I hope CP5 plays.

No such video of Petracca yet.

Petracca doesn't have a mum, he was created in a lab.

I half don't want Garlett to get up this weekend...

It's weird - Garlett is one of my very favourite players, and I had the same thought.

 

[titan_uranus 24,920]

Pedersen, Hunt, Kennedy, Garlett as the bench. Not that bad.

If Garlett doesn't get up, we bring Petracca in. 

I like where this club is going.

Now to ensure we don't do an Essendon. A corner can be turned this weekend.

Mate have you not read the Mahoney comments..

Quite simply he said that IF Garlett doesn't get up tomorrow Petracca will make his debut. If Garlett passes a fitness test then Tracca does not play.

Seriously not hard to work that out...

[Ted Lasso 18,914]

Roosy just said Petracca won't play unless Jeffy doesn't come up.

Don't know if that's good or bad

[KingDingAling 3,750]

They wouldn't name Petracca in the extended squad if he wasn't playing.

[Roost It 1,434]

Garlett will play is the word I'm hearing but its touch and go

Petracca doesn't have a mum. He was developed in a laboratory.

Will play? But it's touch and go?

I doubt anyone knows if Garlett will play yet, it all depends on tomorrow's session.

My man says he's fine but the club is playing all injuries cautiously, I guess because we have depth to cover atm
