It’s been a long time coming.

Can't believe we're actually here, feels like forever. This match is huge, if ever I'd like to see us come out and smash a team hard early it's tomorrow. I wonder if there'll be any info about how players went in the scratch match.

We have this one, despite the two absentees - and that has not really panned out as a concrete omission, yet. There is suddenly some selected pace, foot skills, mobility reeking of intent ... go boys! Hope TMac gets some time at CHB, once again.

Cant believe those to boys could make a mistake like that so close to an afl game.Still think we will win comfortably,ANB is a good competator but would love to have seen the excitement Pickett would bring

It's frustrating we're going to have to wait to see Kozzi and Bennell in the same team. Just so silly.

Oh yes, game day. It's been so long. Need a win, must win, no excuses.

 

Problem is that could have been copied and pasted from the Carlton forum ?

Game day

Round 1 was bitterly disappointing for mine, not so much in terms of the result but by just how similar our performance was to what we regularly produced last year. 

Excited for many reasons, but optimistic in seeing some better connection going inside 50.

Go Dees! And go Harley! 

Silvagni out with gastro so it's one apiece on the withdrawals front...

Gastro’s pretty contagious, isn’t it?

well I guess he did have a brother so there's some evidence....

If we kick a higher score we will win. Make no mistake.

If we all care to recall... Tom has 'unfinished business' with this mob. Would love to see him run amok at CHF. Pleased to see the inclusion of Jayden Hunt, courageous with a never say die attitude to boot.

Hmm not at all confident to be honest... Unfortunately think the Blues will roll us & set the scene for another poor year for us ☹️

Last 10 years minus 2018 may have something to do with it ?‍♂️

The blues are poos.

At last ,

A mature and sensible contrablution.

I hope Harley gets through, I hope Maxy stands up and kicks a goal if required and I hope there are no injuries and we win.

Me to looking forward to the litany of excuses on here though

should be veeeerrryyyy nteresting

Really upset that ANB is back

My young nephew thinks he is a Jonah!

Looks like we are back to the good old days of no small forward with Kozzie out and ANB as his replacement.

Should have bought Bedford in.

Anyway if we cant win this game with the colossal advantage Gawn has in the ruck, we are doomed and North supporters can start thinking about pick 1.

Good luck Harley!

Don’t think it has been mentioned that it is Nev’s 150th today.
I reckon he will put on a vintage Nev display today and we will win

I think we are doing the right thing with this side but it will take time. Looking to the future with a couple more younsters is the way to go. However they don't have a lot of experience together and I think this will show. I can see us getting done but we are the type of side that can bounce around with a few good results this year and some nasty ones. Normally I would be pulling my hair out over the result but there is some rebuilding to do and we do have some good youngsters who should get games. Lose this but beat Essenscum the following week.

not even remotely confident; i have no faith in melbourne whatsoever

hopefully we win, and win well, but i have my doubts...

5 hours to go - the suspense is killing me!

Just waiting at Scumbury station for the train to Spencer Street.

Aiming for my usual counter lunch and gutful of pots before heading over to Docklands

Funny …… I don't see any other supporters around.   Well as they say …… the early bird ….
