Rams 30 Patriots 24

Pretty sure O.Mac beat him last time.

Good the football world doesn't need him. THUG!

We just beat the super team give us the championship now?

Got out of jail there. Batted poorly but were able to defend it. I thought O'Connell cost us the game when he dropped that catch, but it didn't. GO STARS! Still on track for top 2.

GO THE VICTORY! We are definitely the second best team in the league after beating Sydney without Honda. Are we better than Perth though? We will know in 2 weeks.

VINEY V WINES - 2 best mates going against each other MAY V DIXON - This is the job we pay May to do. GAWN\PREUSS V LYCETT\RYDER - Ruck duel will decide the game. Couldn't find room for Spargo due to match ups and Hannan doesn't seem to be match fit.

Harmes will have to get Gray. Harmes plays on the best mid and Gray is the best mid.

The Hawks game wasn't one of his better games but I think he had a better second half of the year than O.Mac. He kept Hawkins in check while O.Mac couldn't

I think he will be in the 22 by rnd 1 and Hannan will be the unlucky one to miss out due to lack of conditioning.

I didn't put any player that was in the development phase so I left out Bradtke, Chandler, Bedford, Neitschke and Jordon. The other 17 listed Melbourne players are ready to go including Sparrow.

Good to see Jhye Richardson play well keep it up son.

BEST VICTORY TEAM THOMAS ROUX BROWN DENG VALERI NEIDERMEIER ANTONIS HONDA BABAROUSES TROISI TOIVONEN BAENA BROXHAM ANSELL

BEST STARS TEAM DUNK STOINIS HANDSCOMB MAXWELL MADDISON BRAVO GULBIS PLUNKETT ZAMPA BIRD BOLAND

BEST 76'S TEAM REDICK BREWER SIMMONS BUTLER EMBIID CHANDLER BOLDON MUSCALA MCCONNELL SHAMET

Loving the way the 76's are traveling atm beating the Spurs without Butler. Love what Brewer brings to team real energy his in your face antics to Harden a few nights ago was awesome. Embiid is a star and Simmons is an up and coming star. A lot to like about Phili.

He has to get over his knee problems first. Not fit enough to play more minutes in the midfield, give him a good knee and a couple of years and he'll definitely have more minutes in the midfield.

I've been toing and throwing about which is the better combo May and O.Mac or May and Frost. Frost's speed gets him over the line for mine, but I think the club prefer O.Mac.

Great innings by Dunk after I bagged him. Stoinis and Handscomb in form too. Bird makes a difference to the bowling very economical. We are on track to finish top 2 GO STARS!

I could only name 11 I think your overrating the team there. At best we should have been second last. We should have finished on top of Richmond.

We are useless really miss the big 3 in Handscomb, Maxwell and Stonis. Dunk is pathetic, Maddinson and Gulbis not much better and Bowe is a joke how he is a cricketer is beyond me?

Not anymore we lost good luck to the saints hope they win the title so I can say we did lose to the champs.
