Game opening up now, Hawks too clean.

Tim Watson hates Melbourne.

Good old Pannell.

Do I have to listen to the commentators orgasm everytime Rioli is anywhere near the ball, it's quite sickening.

Not from Pannell.

5 minutes to go until the bounce, nice of Fox Footy to talk about our game instead of interviewing Carlton and Brisbane players.

Thanks, tuned in.

Congrats to Gawny playing his 50th, hope he has a big game.

Level 3.

I want to see us attack, tackle hard and apply pressure, much the same as we did against Geelong last season.

Even better, good point. Hope this happens.

Vince to wear Mitchell like a glove. A smug, annoying glove with a stupid face.

The only real difference is the average games played. Their average is 22 games more so basically a season.

Anyone else use the 'Footy Live' app? Under today's game and 'Head to Head' there are some really good stats. If correct, we go in with some very similar match ups, age, average score, ave. marks inside 50 (both 12 per game), we're slightly up on contested possessions. On paper we match up very very evenly.

The Hawks forward line and Pannell umpiring are my biggest concerns for the game.

Whenever there's talk of rain posters say that it will favour us because it brings the other teams skills down, have I missed something or would that work both ways? Anyway, I think the Hawks are going to come out and try to physically intimidate our young team. Obviously looking forward to seeing Trengove run out with the team, absolutely fantastic. Harmes and Kent need to be switched on today, can't afford any downhill skiers. I don't think Kent can afford another ordinary game.

Sounds horrible...:)

First posts don't get much better than this .

So you're asking if we think you should bet? If you can afford to lose $50 go for it.

So Rance's tackle wasn't a sling tackle according to Fox Footy because the ball saved Waites head from hitting the ground? I don't think it was a sling tackle anyway but not for that reason.

Lucky Waites breasts got in the way and cushioned his fall.

Looks more like an ACL for Morris.

Hawthorn, Fremantle and Norf. I just find these teams so boring to watch. To be fair, I haven't minded Fremantle lately as it's pretty fun watching them get thumped.

10 mins until the bounce they run through the banner I believe.

I think the way the game is going and with talk of limiting interchanges even more it's a case of having more mids. And it also creates competition for spots, something we haven't had in a long time.
