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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
