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.

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.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
