People shouldn’t be put off by the weather. I’m no Jane bunn but I reckon some drizzle in Melb in 30 mins or so and then we can expect a dry game

The Roos comments were on fox footy after the cheats game. Said something like he was staggered both players were out and there must be a niggle or another reason as they are clearly best 22

Faark I’m pumped for tomorrow!! 40 mins til the game day thread??

The pies have no game plan and very few players that can kick. They are learning the very hard way that Buckley can’t coach

The tried to drum up excitement for the game saying it’ll be a shoot out between Lynch and brown! ?

The release from the afl said that new vision clearly shows Douglas made contact with the head. I must be blind coz I can’t see any angle that shows that clearly. If there’s a bump and a concussion. The afl will find a way to get the player a week or more regardless of the rules

Viney by far. His intensity and aggression around the ball set the tone for the entire team. T Mac a good player but replaceable.

Wow Frost has become a gun defender capable of keeping Hawkins quiet in the past 48 hours! frost decision making and disposal is worse than wagners. Just because he is big and fast people tend to not see this?

Anyone know if Casey have a practice match this weekend? What time?

Didn’t think their fwd line was the main issue although they clearly missed Lynch and walker. They kicked 7 goals in the 3rd quarter and stopped completely. Bombers kicked 6.5 in the last. Very poor to run out if legs like that

Jesus Christ. Adelaide completely stopped in the last quarter

Such a relief. The bombers are as bad I thought they are

1.6 to 1.4 that quarter. Tough watching highlight has been that cracking bump from Douglas. Footy is back!

9-2 free kicks to the cheats carn the crows!

Round one you need 100% fit and ready players. Tyson hasn’t played since his injury and Gus had his Op a few days ago. Whats the big surprise? if Wagner gets a run of 10+ games without injury he will surprise a few around here

Betts, Jenkins and McGovern is a decent fwd line crows underrated despite being the best H&A team of last year. Betts to kick 7

Unrelated question but does anyone know if the Frank Grey Smith Bar is accessible to standard members? I’ve got 11 home game membership. I’m meant to be meeting a mate there cheers

Will be very surprised if Frost gets named. He lacks football smarts and kicking / decision making. O Mac on Hawkins with lever drifting across as needed very few 1-1s in today’s footy On another note, who provide the fwd pressure for Geelong, some skilful small medium fwds but we should have time in the back half to attack in a meaningful way. That should win us the game

Still 3 more days for clarry, he should be fine. Why risk him with high intensity? hell have another run through

Dees not united, is that right Wayne? Wait, are you the guy that slept with his best mate's missus and had to quit his club?

So much talk of their midfield but without Henderson and recent retirements Geelong's defence is poor Possible line up: Stewart Taylor Jones Tuohy Kolodjashnj Bews If we break even in the middle we should win this. If Hogan is on Taylor it will be worth getting Hogan on his bike around the ground and out to the wings. Pedo and Trac should be able to dominate in the air if we get it in quick

So all we know is he has a foot injury and will miss the first round or two. Everything else in this thread is just baseless panic

will be interesting to see what Goody does with Wagner. He has started both JLT games, not that means much I guess. but I wouldn't be surprised if he is in the 22 on sunday at the expense of a Bugg/Stretch type. with Vince playing on a wing

It's Jesse Hogan (after he joined boy band Colour me Bad)

I like this team. a good chance to be the one named for Sunday Viney and T Mac the only outs? Oliver a myabe but should get up
