Correct!

They're of zero worth when we come second. 

Agree. However if we should win all 3 then it is is sure sign we are finals bound......

    I'm glad the Dogs have named a strong side. Falling over the line against the Pups again and then having the club and some on here cheering the victory doesn't interest me.

    I hope they serve up a strong contest with their style of pressure around the ball and fast movement because that will really test our structural weaknesses.

    And we'll be winning the flag when we win one.  There's never any in between - we are either doomed for bottom 4 if we lose on Saturday or destined for a top 4 finish if we win.

    One I'll be taking I think.  If we lose on Saturday then 'Watts would have made us a 6 goal better side' is what I'll be going with for the rest of the weekend.

    Excellent.

    And if we win, by say a goal, i'll say we would have won by 7 goals if Wattsy had played (and 10 if the umpires had not given the doggies an armchair ride)

    Good to see us and Dogs have comparably strong line ups. should be a tight contest and will get the blood pumping again

    Johnstone if kept in, will see this as his chance to steal an unliekly fwd pocket spot if he sparks

    it will be great to see JT play and see Weed and Hoges along side each other

    I'm predicting Tracca to have chins wagging after the game - the blokes a machine

    Not sure you are correct about Petracca,    hope you are of course   But the others "Bring it On"   Go Dees !!!

    Aren't we allowed to,play the rookies (Keilty/Smith)?

    Nope they are, that's why Joel Smith is listed.

    Another thing to note is for week 1 and 2, teams are allowed up to 8 interchange players with unlimited rotations so we should only see 2 of the 28 players dropped before the game.

    Mark Stevens is a little late with his "news" re Smith.

    Winning these challenges is largely irrelevant , but losing horrendously can be a portent of things to come.

     I think we'll be competitive and look forward to seeing an advanced game style and tangible progress from individuals.

    I would say if we are ahead at any stage in the first quarter, the flag is in the bag.

    Gee. This wouldn't be far from the likely predictions for a 'best team by the end of the year' sort of thing. Plus Watts and Tyson. Kent and Jetta absent but there are many questioning their future inclusion already. Pretty exciting to see Salem, Petracca, Oliver, Brayshaw, Hunt, Stretch and Weid all in the same team.

    Jack Watts not a notable absentee according to the AFL website, but a no gamer from the Lions is?

    We beat all of Port, Bulldogs & Saints last preseason and went 1-4 against those teams in the real stuff. It's fun to watch but it doesn't mean much.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
