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

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
