Can't see us winning this week. 5 of our best out, three 6 day breaks. Sydney midfield on fire. Out forward line is poor and will be found out eventually. Kent must have slept with Goody's mrs and sister. We really need his speed creativity and aggression up fwd

Houli should appeal

The thing that will hurt us most is that the five players missing are ~top 7 ball users at the club. I think we'll look uglier than usual and probably kick more behinds than goals

Madness! Tough draw and we need 5 wins from 9 games. I'd say we are a good chance at finals but could easily blow it.

Very strange year. No very good teams. GWS the closest but they have been raped by injuries

Playing finals for the first time in 11 years would be a start. 5 more wins needed

I'm still in awe of Vineys game yesterday. One of the best individual performances I've seen from a melbourne player, ever True leadership, toughness, brilliance. I think we will see him lift the premiership cup one day. Hopefully a few times.

Played 10 games for us, we've won 8. No coincidence. The blokes a winner and we are a significantly better team when he plays

Expecting a drop in pressure from us this week as we can't perform like we have every week. Watts and hogan out. Im expecting a frustrating loss tonight. But we'll beat the swans next week

Is Kassel worth a visit? I go to Marburg for work every now and again

so much hype around the Bombers recently - making me feel ill Ill be cheering on Sydney tonight, even though they are likely to snag a finals spot. shouldn't effect us though as we are aiming top 4!

Apparently the crows are favourite for the flag??? average team if your defence is set up right

Gees I hope Le Cras gets up. he is soft as butter these days, should have been dropped weeks ago

Never realised how important Watts is to our line up until he is missing kicks goals but more importantly a great link man. hope its not a 21-day hammy

no need to drop a tall now. Pedo and T Mac as our 2 tall forwards - good god! we'll need luck on our side on Sat night

A harder, better version of JJ. What a pick up at pick 47!

I agree a lot of the current nicknames are a struggle. 'Wet Toast', wtf?! I give other clubs the respect to at least say their name and hopefully get the same in return aside from the Drug Cheats, they can go [censored] themselves!!

THE LAST TIME THEY MET West Coast 10.6.66 defeated Melbourne 8.12.60 Round 18, 2016 at Domain Stadium had forgotten about this game. good to see we are building up a rep for being able to play well away from home. nothing to be afraid of. Let's smash the soft Westerners!

If Kennedy is out for 4 weeks, it not only gives us a good chance to win but it hurts their finals chances massively!

would be amazing if he played. he has been unlucky no inside mids have been injured to get a chance

Thanks for response mate. Thought I was going nuts for a bit there. Interesting selection coming up!

Anyone got the stats on smothers for the game? In that first quarter I remember a few beauties from us

If Kennedy doesn't play they have the dinosaur Petrie and Darling at key talls with Vardy occasionally resting in the fwd. i reckon we are too tall if we have: watts, pedo up fwd with Gawn ruck and T Mac, O Mac and Frost at the back thoughts? Should we drop a tall? Want to make we maximise run and have some good distributors at the back

He has played well but I reckon we are too tall down back with the Macs, frost and hibbo able to play tall. If Kennedy doesn't play surely we drop a tall for Gawn?? Otherwise we lose some of our run who would you drop?

alright you're all hilarious with your memes (good-natured tone) everyone bagging Frost being dropped, anyone care to say the tall they will drop? Crush O Macs confidence? Peedo is killing it. T Mac undroppable
