I would imagine they would have had a short training session at the ground around late arvo.

So is the game at 6.10 or 7.10 (Melbourne time)?

Hopefully giants rock up at half time.

They did last time I made this trip. They killed us in the second half.

Me just hanging around waiting for the Sunday evening game.

So true.

If we bring our best we'll win. 

They (GWS) could bring their best but can they sustain it if we're at our best? 

Rather than matching them we need to set the standard and then keep our foot on their throats ... do that and GWS will wilt

So really, the ball is in our court.  And the team still has a lot to prove so being off our game at this stage of the season would be unacceptable

Having said all that I would take any sort of win!

Just win!

I think we will grind out a win ..  can't see it being easy though.

The way things are panning out, it looks as though we've beaten two bottom eight sides thus far.

GWS are much the same, so taking advantage will be crucial as we'll have a much tougher run in the middle part of the season.

We need to cancel out those two matches against the Doggies, with two wins against GWS.

Let's go Demons!

Pretty sure it was yesterday afternoon.  Max said in the video of support they sent to the AFLW side that they'd be watching in the airport.  That match was yesterday arvo.

correct, they missed the aflw game because they had to be at the airport before game time

Dont like it. Melbourne will have to sit around most of today twiddling their thumbs and thinking too much. Much better flying up today having  a relaxing lunch then go for a light  run later and off to the game.

 

On form we should win comfortably, but GWS will be fired up at the start as it’s their last hurrah today at 0-2 and abysmal contested differential last week.

Should be a slog and poor quality game. Just need to banks the 4 points and get back to a few games in a row at the G.

I hope after the amount of practice we had last year, that game day routines when we travel have been if not perfected, at least ironed out.

Either way it wont be used as an excuse if we lose as last year showed.

Anywhere Anytime Anyone. (or something like that)

Cairns?

Reckon we lose today :(

So rapt for Jones getting games ,only 3 more after today to reach 300,if he holds form will go on and pass Neita.Go JONESY

I’m confident, which scares me

Melbourne always play better when Hogan doesn't play. Dee's by 60 odd, T Mac to kick 4, with Jackson the surprise package kicking 3 of his own.

I know the season is still in its infancy but gws are a bottom tier team and hence we simply must win.

3 zero isnt enough. Big win must be forthcoming if we are serious contenders.

It’s the default expectation of being a Melbourne supporter of the 2007-2021 era.

Hogan was actively playing for Freo! Today he plays for no one, check mate

If we get the chocolates today BB will be 24 hours closer to Tulsa.

What is it with people who run with the bent logic that our win against the Saints is somewhat tarnished because Essendon beat them by a greater margin. 

So does Sydney beating Richmond make them a lock for the flag then....

Must also mean than because Freo defeated the Giants and we defeated Freo we automatically win today. 
 

No other variables should be taken into account.
