We started the game played in Alice Springs well but kicked poorly for goal. Jack Viney was a little too aggressive and got reported (and was injured). The team blew up.

Strangely enough, it's quite possible that our team this week won't differ too much from the one that played against Port Adelaide at Alice Springs.

Hopefully, the attitude they take into the game and their kicking for goal will be much improved.

He did and it was always going to happen with that backline.

Was Frost dropped at this stage? I can't remember.

They really smashed us last time. Bigger, faster, more skilled. Made us look pathetic.

Any chance we might play more than a quarter this time? Our work after quarter time against Port in the past two Alice Springs games has been woeful.

It's all about keeping the ball out of the hands of Wingard, Gray and Neade. And finding an opponent for Westhoff.

Hopefully Lobbe plays, as Max is much more suited to him than Trengove.

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
