Who here is going?

As a local myself I'd normally be there but working west of Alice today. Raining out here, rain almost always heads west, might be a wet second half?

Think we will be to quick for them through the middle and forward jeffy to kick 5 win by 10

If we are to look at the game, I would say this is an opportunity for us as I don't like our chances the next week. We will be coming back from stinking hot Alice Springs against the reigning three time premiers. As much as I would like to see us roll those p****s, I'm not sure that we are there yet. 
A 7-4 record would be better but if you look at where we are at as a footy team, 6-5 would put us on track for what I would reasonably expect us to achieve as a team this year.

The same old stupid cliche is bashed out year after year by people who nothing beyond their own backyards. Currently a stunning cool day in Alice with a chance of a shower later.

A MUST WIN GAME TODAY ... Port, Crows and Demons will battle for that 8th position. Top 7 is locked in for me. 

If the Demons lose, back in the 9th to 13th pack.

Can Gawn ruck all day... he looked tired last week !!!

If we win and Adelaide lose (possible against GWS) then we will be a game clear in the top eight.

LATE CHANGES
Melbourne: Nil
Port Adelaide: Matthew Broadbent (gastro) replaced in the selected side by Sam Gray

Broadbent out means one less runner for them.

What time does the actual game start?

Port won't be in finals contention. Imo Richmond will move up. Port is average. Makes today even more important.

Brad Johnson doesnt know where Uluru is. D grade commentary team today

He'll make up for it.

I just hope we show up today. If our fast small forwards like Garlett, Kennedy and Kent have another invisible stinker like the Saints match, we'll comfortably lose. We're also certainly pushing the boundaries with such a young team every week, it's going to be inconsistent and you have to understand that means occasional losses to teams that aren't great.

Hopefully Jetta is well rested and does a number on Wingard. Hopefully we don't miss Oliver's hands too much, and hopefully our sloppy disposal last week was just a result of playing bad competition.

Go Dees! 

McDonald outbodied easily already.

No hands in the back there...

Gotta be better than that Oscar, way too easy.

Oh boy Omac is weak...

Oscar McDonald is not up to AFL standard. 

Sloppy start, nice intercept by McDonald. Gawn a few early touches.
