For anyone that watched the (albeit limited) games that Ablett played last year, he was still an unbelievably powerful player.

Great test for our midfielders in the first game because these 3 will destroy teams this season.

Not sure why, but I don't know if these three will line up in the middle together that much... I get a feeling that Danger and Ablett will alternative between midfield and forward (still pretty devastating if they do)

Also felt that the game was catching up a little with Selwood a little last year. He'll still be influential, but it's kinda similar feeling I have with Nathan Jones.

Finally it's not what they have in the midfield it's what they have around them.... thats where the list sharply drops away.

Not worried they have no back line, harry  is all alone in back there , I think danger is going to play mostly forward like he did in last year's finals, they have not addressed their forward line in off season, Motlop very important in their forward line. We killed them last year, if we kicked straight, in third term we led by 15 points which was how many more scoring shots we had, we missed at least 5 shots 30 meters out  directly in front of goal.

Motlop now at Port.......

Both Dangerfield and Selwood struggling to get to the starting line for round 1. 

oh really? I thought there were doubts about Gary but haven't kept up to date on the other 2.

They are all match winners who can take the game by the scruff of the neck. They are at the level we hope our young players will get too and the type of player that we have missed for decades. 

Viney struggling is a bit of a bummer, but if they are in doubt then it evens out a bit.

Still backing us in to win.

I read the article  that has this pic and it states that Geelong's Round 1 opponent is Essendon. Is this for the pre-season games?

 

I do not buy into the hype around these three playing together and I hope that our Team does not either. There is only one ball in play at any one time and we will need to be putting pressure on the ball and the man with it at every contest, no matter who the opposition player is.

Let the Cats sit back and fall into the trap of thinking they have it won because these three are going to win it for them.

 

I am confident of a win first up.

When Danger and Selwood win it in the middle, they will shank it straight down lever's throat. 

Very unlikely they will all be fit for round one. Veterans tend to not train much in preseason so our youth will get the jump on them

Ablett will get sunstroke and forget which way he's kicking.

Selwood will suffer whiplash from ducking one time too many.

Danger up forward won't touch it as the pill will spend its day sailing through our goals 30 times.

One thing is for certain, the words ‘Melbourne football club’ will not be mentioned by the media or commentators in the lead up to the match.

Not just the lead up. We are just a plot device for the media in this story.

Win, lose or draw. Eveything will be about Gary's return.

If we lose, it will just play out the way they want : fairytale return! How good is this team going to be? Will they go undefeated all year? 

If we win : did we overestimate the cats? Did Geelong pay to much for an aging Ablett? Is Gary's shoulder ok? The Cats have no depth.

There will be nothing about us.

No problem. 4 premiership points beats 4 talking points.

"Selwood, Danger and Ablett will all take the field against that team that wears red."

Geelong are going to want to pull something big this year and win a flag, because these 3 are one concussion away from retirement. 

I don’t think that 3 players make a team. Geelong are severely lacking both down back and up forward and having lost Motlop they are also lacking some leg speed.

relax we've got this....

Viney, Petracca, Oliver, Salem, Lever...

Bernie knows how to tickle Danger.. 

it's just Geelong......chokersville

They have some stars....they dont have a full competetive lineup across the field. 

ffs Its a new season. They were shown to be very human if you went at them full chops .

If I were them Id be more concerned about us, than we ought them.

They'll bleed profusely once we open them up....

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
