I just had a really vivid dream where whilst other stuff was happening, the Melb v Carl score line was live throughout. most of the numbers were very specific..
Q1 - Melb 0 Carl 3 

Q2- Melb 3 Carl 8 

Q3- Melb 63 Carl 21 

Final- Melb 138 Carl 38

An exact 100 point margin.

I had the exact same dream. Bennell kicked the last 12 goals of the game.

    Go have your coffee and Zoloft, faulty, dreams can come true. 

    Wake up to yourself.

     

    Let's hope the delivery from Bennell can make a difference to our disgusting inside 50's.  That would be a dream come true.

    I’m not sure what’s more concerning - the fact you actually took my initial post literally/seriously or your belligerent over-reactive responses. 
    Maybe we misinterpret each other. Good day to you, sir.

    Jackson, Rivers and Bennell. That’s some extra natural talent there. 

    I reckon these selections are based on the speed the game is going to be played at.

    2 first gamers plus Bennell who hasn’t played in 2 yrs+ seems a bit risky.  Very hard with no vfl but how have 2 x 1st gamers earned a spot????

    Training form is all they can be judged on.

     

    Interesting that the coaches think these ins will give us a better chance of winning. They must surely rate the kids highly.

    Surely Jones and Salem will be considered, and if so, who will all the outs be?

    The football club is sending a huge message.  If you don’t step up, your spot will go to a kid who will make an effort.  Might be an interesting year of development in some new key players for our future??

    I'm joining a bit of a chorus here that I think Harmes should be placed into a run with role on Cripps, he is a really damaging player and if left unchecked could really hurt us.

    Didn't think it was worth creating a new thread but seems we don't have any love coming our way from the Fox Footy experts. As always there's a love in for Hawthorn though. I will say this, if people were hoping to see significant improvements or changes in round one this year compared to 2019 then understandably they would have been disappointed with what we put up. For me that is why this match is so crucial to us getting our season started again, confidence is a funny thing in sport and we have been so low on it in the last 12-18 months.

    I estimate this is a 5 goal better side than Round1. 
    Of course it has to play up to expectations .

    That gets us to an underwhelming 81 points. Which is what Carlton kicked in their round 1 loss to the reigning Premiers.

    Yes I have thought of this but did u think we were or are only a 7 goal side on Round1?

    I didn't but we played our underwhelming wasteful forward way so say 10 goals might be our estimate in Round 1.

    I would be knocked over with a feather if we kicked 15 goals and were beaten by the Blues.

    Glad we are taking risks Hogan, we have been conservative for a very long time imo in regards to player selection.

    Nah, officially announced mate.

    I got it from the grape vine that we are going to make  at least 7 changes from the last game. 

    What do you think LN.

    Seems like the right amount or so. We've got Bennell, Jackson and Rivers locked in, Smith, Salem and Jones as almost definites, then possibly Weid, vandenBerg, Hannan, Hunt, Sparrow all around the mark to choose from.

    Feels like a lot at first, but then you think it's basically another round 1 given the break.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
