In Krakow (first time in Europe) and don't have access to the game.

Can't see us winning this, too many key players out. One lives in hope, and I'm as optimistic as the next optimist, but Adelaide aren't top of the table for nothing.

Good chance to get a game into the younger/fringe players and for those who are a bit rusty (Gawn, Hogan), but more than that, my expectations are low.

Next week on the other hand ...

Gee I hope we win so we get these teams behind us off our backs. Come on Melbourne.

I think they've gone in to tall and have misread the conditions. We should have more speed and know how to handle the conditions to use our rotations better. 

Gawn won't have a game like last week, mark my words he'll bounce back hard this week and be best on ground 

Tend to agree on all points.

They only just beat The Blues 1 week prior to us, and had a bit of luck in that win. We got smashed in the middle against Carlton and still got the job done, I don`t think we could play that badly again from centre clearances and Max should have some match fitness now.

I haven't been at all confident through the week but I think we are a big chance, our win over them in Adelaide will give the boys massive belief.

as an aside Virgin and especially Qantas are somewhat to blame for the high cost of flights to Darwin.

The Asian airlines wanted to fly from Asia to Darwin and pick up people for the onward flights to the capital cities down south.

This would have doubled the number of flights to Darwin at least. The NT government and the National Party were fully on favour but Qantas and their lobbyists won out and fares are still  some of the highest in the world when compared to similar routes.

A return flight to London with a 5 Star airline was only a couple of hundred dollars more than a Melbourne-Darwin return flight. Ridiculous!

Make sure you go to the salt mines!

Hoping our experience of playing on this ground in this climate gives us a big advantage. They have a pretty tall team so if it gets slippery it should play into our hands with our pace. Just need to play four quarters and we'll be in the game - GO DEES!

No expectations with all our injuries, these are the best games to watch.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,970]

What times the bounce? According to Foxtel it's in 4 minutes however still reviewing the Hawthorn v Geelong game. 

[Engorged Onion 10,223]

now @Ethan Tremblay

[Ethan Tremblay 30,970]

Thanks. I was expecting a bit more pre-game stuff, Foxtel decided Dangerfield was more important.

Sandy describes it a "must win game for Melbourne" with no real explanation as to why.

Yet again looks and sounds like our supporters are vastly outnumbered.

The bloke has been senile for 5 years. They must have given him a weekend leave pass from the home.

Super dumb handball by Jetta.

Rare mistake by Hibberd.

I'm still not convinced our forward line operates much better with Hogan.

I don't know what it is but I really hate both of the McGovern's.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

The McGovern's are very good footballers.

[praha 11,240]

Our tackling continues to be average. Their rebounding is very concerning.

Seven have taken their third raters to call this one

Getting killed in the centre early on.
