Four 1st gamers, we will have a big edge in experience at least

Dees by 100.

Weideman to kick 10.

Oliver 57 contested possessions.

Nibbler zero fumbles.

I believe.

 

Weideman kicking 10 and Oliver collecting 57 contested possies is still astonishingly more believable than ANB having a fumble-less game.

Port will start well but by about 1/2 way through 3 term we should be able to roll them convincingly.

[Nelo 813]

We will smash them in the midfield.

I wish melbourne was doing something for the loss of colin sylvia. not sure whether we'll be wearing arm bands or not but things have been a little too quiet for my liking. 

Yes, I like it. 

It can be forgotten in the pre-season, those we have lost... and those who were taken, so early.

 

Vale`...    Ian Thorogood  &  'Col'...   Sylvia.

He looked lethal in that exhausting workout. He must have bent over at least 4 times to pick up the ball off the ground. Could he be put through any more thorough physical test of his injured cheekbone? Surely not.

My guess is he will miss and they are trying to throw us off the track with selection.

Waste of time if they do that Redleg. Preuss is out injured, Bradtke is nowhere near ready. Either way we just have Max.

Hope they do play those mind games, that way they don't concentrate on the more important things.

A noted innovator, Hinkley takes the concept of chaos ball to a whole new level.

All up, the Power will have 11 changes to the team that lost to Essendon in round 23 last year. "It makes it hard for Melbourne to predict what we're going to do, because we don't know what we're going to do."

Dear Demonland,

Can you please post the link to the destination article (presumably somewhere on the AFL web site) so we don't have to go to the Evil Place?

Thank you in advance,

Vandenberg is a worry for me. Didn't make the family day last week and was a no show on Monday. Hope his foot hasn't flared up.

The latest injury list says he's available, but no idea how old it is.

Probably one of the most anticipated training threads coming up tomorrow. Which ‘landers are reporting for duty?

MFCSS in me fears the worst then a nail biting win at Cattery

[titan_uranus 24,974]

Sounds like both of us will be fielding underdone sides and/or will be missing key players.

It might only be Round 1 but this is a game we just cannot afford to lose.

Melbourne Football Club Supporter Syndrome is the constant negativity of some supporters due to years of failures.

Easy win. Relaxe everyone.

Thanks.  I've suffered from that too, but hope to escape its clutches this year.

Unfortunately it’s like herpes FD, you’re stuck with it for life
