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. 

3 Votes: Max Gawn

2 Votes: Christian Petracca

1 Vote: Clayton Oliver.

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

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.

"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....

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
