Uncle Bitter is toddling along today as the guest of a St Kilda member. I expect to be evicted by halftime as either - A. A boorish drunken loud mouthed and ungracious winner

We need the young guns to fire, I know Oliver is going to (3 Brownlow votes coming up). Petracca and Brayshaw need to step up if we're going to win. We also need to taunt Weller, his eyes are too clos

A few things to remember before today's game: Yes, the Saints will kick a goal at some stage.  There's no need to act like the world is caving in.  They may even kick two in a row, but that's no

Good luck today lads for a new season - am sure you'll break the st kilda and ethiad voodoos in one fell swoop. 

Especially good to see Jack slotted firmly in the team - great year last year and hopefully all the noise drops away post a belter today. 

And good luck Goodie - start of a new dynasty!

                                  Or

B. A boorish drunken loud mouthed and ungracious loser.

 

OR C ( BIT OF BOTH ) 

Im not confident at all. I can see Aints forwards running amok with the freewheeling Mc Donald brothers getting smashed. All depends on supply. 

i also heard a whisper that the suface is highly questionable and the AFL are praying like hell no player gets hurt because of the shifting surface which my source says looks very very dodgy!

Dees by the slimest of margins ( 1 Point),  but I'm not confident at all. The aints  will be very quick! I just hope Viney doesn't try to bulldoze through every tackle and give the first option, in fact that goes for everyone!

Wow...

Not sure how I feel about the potential change.  I see Acres as someone who can cause us more damage than McCartin can, but on the flip side it should allow us to focus our energies on keeping Bruce and Membrey quiet.

Does anyone ever trawl the St Kilda supporter sites? What is their feel on McCartin - similar to our Watts? Forever unfulfilled potential? A big Albatross hulking in the forward line??

The roof closed! Wtf

nice sunny day, been in the office all week and have to sit inside. 

I think we can cope with some sun and shady patches 

Im working right now in the Docklands looking at Etihad and it's no longer blue skies and sunny. Change has kicked in and it's grey and windy - so standard Docklands weather.

Its a good point Picket. I was reading that the replacement turf, after the Adele concert wiped out half the playing surface, was deep blocks of turf and therefore wouldn't shift....guess well find out in a few hours.......please no knee injuries!!!

Liking the team selection more and more - if McCartin is out then we won't be short a tall defender, in one fell swoop we've gone from a short back line to a good matchup

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
