We are surely the only supporter base in the country who on game day discuss what we are eating and drinking and it’s not VB and a servo pie, but smoked meat and aged whiskey and salad and cheese ?

Fish fingers in the George Foreman.
Salad .... Pffft.

    Being a traditionalist, I'll be inhaling a couple of meat pies from the local bakery but the real key to a good day 's barracking will be sloshing them down with a decent shiraz.

    Timing is key off course so the first one will hit the cakehole at about 2.30.

    I'm oddly nervous about this game. I don't know whether it's the Buckley departure or the fact the we have an inability to blow games out. Or if its Jamie Elliott's recently found form. arggh

    Im having a debate with a Collingwood supporter friend. How long has the QB match (Melb vs Collingwood) been going for. ie: how long is the tradition?

    The tradition has been at least since the Norm Smith 1950s. Enough said!

    It's VB for me up here in Qld. Keep the Vic in me going.

    On any measurement we should win this game by a solid amount, but I doubt it will be a smashing: Collingwood's biggest losing margin this year is 30 (vs GWS and Sydney).

    They can defend reasonably well but they really struggle to score. Even last week when they won, they only scored 78, and they were super accurate with 12.6 to Adelaide's 10.13.

    They've only scored above 80 three times all year, against weak defensive sides (Carlton, Essendon and North). Against stronger defensive sides they've struggled to score (53 vs the Dogs, 42 vs Sydney, 51 vs Geelong).

    Elliott and De Goey are dangerous in the forward line but they have to get it there. We know that when we're at least breaking even in the middle, and when our forward half game is on, even the best forward lines struggle to score: the Dogs and Brisbane over the last fortnight are the perfect examples. 

    If we do what we know we can do, there is a comfortable win here for the taking.

    But the Adelaide game reminds us that if we're off, any side can beat us.

    Good points titan but if we win in the middle it can be in the goal square in one kick. I reckon Weid will get opportunities today - he'll need to capitalize .

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
