I think Chandler can play a bit if he kicks one of two goals he's done his job. We easily accounted for Richmond without Fritsch.

I think we can cover Viney and Fritsch and I'm not sure Salem is best 22 after last years performances but May is a massive loss. Have no faith in Tomlinson hoping to be proven wrong and happy to give an apology after the game if he does his job.

The Bulldogs named all their emergencies one of them has to be out at least.

Anyone going to the game?

My predicted team B: Buntine, D.Turner, Adams HB: Hibberd, J.Smith, D.Smith C: Howes, Dunstan, Burgoyne HF: Sestan, van Rooyen, K.Turner F: Moniz-Wakefield, Schache, Jefferson FOLL: Verrall, Jordon, Goonan IC: Farris-White, Steele, Baldi, Peters, Valentine, McRae

Does anybody else do it? Decided instead of buying my daughter a junior membership she really isn't interested in football anyway, I pledged $10 per win as a bronze member. That's at as much as a junior membership maybe even more depending on how many games we win.

Collingwood are going to be right up there again I predicted them to finish 3rd but Geelong are just a team without Stewart he's like May to our team. Not sold on Carlton or Richmond both will struggle to make the 8 even though at the start of the year I had higher expectations on Richmond.

Interesting that Melksham is the sub had no pre season. Hope he's fit enough.

I thought he was still injured with a hammy?

I have Jordon as the sub and Hibberd as the stand by.

How they may line up Melbourne B: Lever, Tomlinson, Rivers HB: Brayshaw, Petty, Bowey C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, McDonald, Neal-Bullen F: Grundy, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Harmes, Pickett IC: McVee, Laurie, Sparrow, Chandler SUB: Jordon Bulldogs B: Bruce, Jones, Daniel HB: Dale, Keath, Richards C: B.Smith, Macrae, Treloar HF: Scott, Naughton, Johannisen F: Ugle-Hagan, Lobb, Darcy FOLL: English, Bontempelli, Liberatore IC: Duryea, Williams, Hannan, Baker SUB: Khamis Key Match Ups Lever V Ugle-Hagan I think Lever will get the job on Ugle-Hagan I think that will be a good match up. Lever didn't play against the dogs last time and Ugle-Hagan kicked 5. Tomlinson V Lobb I think this will be Tomlinson's best match up a lumbering ruckman. Lobb will tear us apart or do nothing no in between. Petty V Naughton Petty is no May but I think he could do the job on him. If he can keep him to a couple of goals he's done his job. Rivers V Darcy This is a mismatch Darcy is an up and coming star but Rivers can play above his height and beat him at ground level. The club has chosen system over structure down back. Spargo V Daniel Spargo has to shut him down has been damaging in the past McDonald V Keath McDonald really has to be on his game. Keath has iffy form and could be a weak link. Brown has to lift after an ordinary game against Richmond. An inform Jones could probably keep him in check but a brain fading Jones could give Brown some opportunites. McDonald has a good record on Jones. Bruce V Grundy\Gawn Bruce like Tomlinson is a shock selection I expect like Tomlinson to take the resting ruck. Hopefully both Gawn and Grundy can be too nimble for him. Harmes V Bontempelli It doesn't happen much these days but I hope Harmes gets a tagging job on the Bont that's when Harmes plays his best football. Prediction The Dees by 12 points I had the Dees by 30 until May went out of the side.

Footscray V Casey Possible line ups B: Adams, D.Turner, D.Smith HB: Buntine, J.Smith, Freeman C: Howes, Munro, Burgoyne HF: Sestan, van Rooyen, Moniz-Wakefield F: Melksham, Schache, Jefferson FOLL: Verrall, Goonan, Woewodin IC: K.Turner, Farris-White, Valentine, Baldi, 23rd man
