OPPOSITION WATCH: Rd 1 vs West Coast

WC have had an interrupted preseason with their key backs (McGovern, Barrass), and a new midfield with Kelly in there that may take time to gel. Last year we flew to the Gold Coast then to Perth on a 6 day turnaround and should have beaten them despite our injuries and poor form.  This year we have no excuses. We won’t get a better chance to win over there than round 1.

    I agree Watto also West Coast have looked underdone in both Essendon and Freo games.  I think we will lead in close game at half time and run over them in second half by 8 goals +

    My only glimmer of hope that we could pull a win out of our backsides is that from memory the weagles don’t always start the season well. 
     

    So heres hoping.

    Optus Stadium could be empty of spectators if the virus situation doesn't improve.

    Margetts will be totally confused without the advice of his mates in the stands.

    An empty Optus stadium in round one would be a sight to behold! 
    If the game could also be umpire free even better!

    Then you’ve removed two massive Eagle advantages!

    You omitted the third advantage: the non-retribution from Christian in the post-game, 'fair-play' wrap-up after Clarry has his head knocked off once again by deliberate action of a beaten opponent from the Weagles.

    Of course he's gonna say that to the media  ...........  in the full knowledge that he and his team mates are already making a disproportionate contribution to the national shortage of toilet paper.

    Seriously? I'd heard that to compensate for the zero supply of toilet paper over in WA that they had come up with their own solution to the worsening problem: the Weagles have had a brainwave, selecting across the board to use Tally Ho cigarette papers instead of reaching for the Sorbent. Apparently, it saves on wasted paper, as well.

    Melbourne to win the first five game and then the season to be cancelled. You know it will happen.

    However they'll have to use additional hand sanitiser to remove the smell from their fingers

    West Coast Eagles

    PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
     Oscar Allen  Ankle  Test
     Jarrod Cameron  Pubic bone  5-7 weeks
     Tom Cole  Thumb  5-7 weeks
     Jack Darling  Cheekbone  Test
     Luke Foley  Pubic bone  TBC
     Daniel Venables  Concussion  Season
    Updated: Tuesday, March 17

    Early prognosis

    Allen was part of the 'A' team during Friday's match simulation and is now looking likely to play in round one. Darling was best on track in that session, according to Luke Shuey, and also looks set for the season-opener. Cameron is expected to miss up to eight weeks with the pubic bone stress injury that has hampered him previously. Cole's fractured thumb is a medium-term concern, but the defender will be able to maintain fitness during his rehab. - Nathan Schmook

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
