Disappointing

For Jetta or Jones? I'm disappointed Lockhart is injured. He'd be playing today instead of Jetta.

Jones still offers offensive ball use and drive. I'm harsh here but Jetts actually offers nothing anything. Incredibly slow, and lose one on one contests far too easily. Actually gobsmacked Jetta is playing today.

Brayshaw starting on.. interesting.

Kadr Chandler the sub

Goos to see former Melbourne great James McDonald in the changeroom doing the jumper presentation alongside James Jordons mum Prue.

Yeah cool bro.. What's bailey Smith got to do with Petracca?

It's 10:00am and already quite warm here in the city. Fitness will be the telling factor. I expect Max to completely blow up the first game in Meek. The likes of Salem and Oliver will feel the early pinch having not playing a game for 3 weeks. Heat will play a big part today.

It's no wonder the club was sending emails. Pert predicting 27k is disappointing. Happy game day everyone. Go dees!

I would have had Chandler in. Very stiff to miss out. I look at that side on paper and don't see any different to last year.. hope I'm wrong, but I'm worried this has 2019 round 1 all over again.

Chandler or Baker

Look who you're replying too. That'll answer your question.

They don't televise practice games.

Because I genuinely thought after that year we were going to be a powerhouse club. How wrong was I...

Some players are naturally born with it, and some need actual training and education around this. Colin Sylvia and Jack Watts are two that spring to mind straight away.

The last bloke that did that for us was Tom Bugg and we hung him out to dry for the rest of his career and barely played a game. Vince, Lewis and Bugg brought that physical edge to our side and have lacked it since those guys have left unfortunately.

There's a bloke on Fox who I enjoy listening to as well. I think his name is Adam Papalia??

Agree. Funny without naming names, its the same usual hindsight hero's who've come out of the woodwork once again on this thread. The same individuals that also wanted him delisted....

This needs to pinned on this thread. Well said.

One of the best things about watching the AFLW games is the brilliant commentary by Jason Bennett and Nigel Carmody? Why these guys in prime time is beyond me. More of these guys and less BT.

Haha McKay can't convert, but yet Weideman missed a simple goal 25m dead in front against Adelaide to win us the game.. You say it's poor list management we delisted McDonald and now you're saying Weideman is better then McKay?? You really are a Doozy.. McKay is everything I wish Weideman was at. Weideman has done nothing since that Geelong game. That's nearly 3 years ago now..

Plays the role exceptionally well. There was a reason he was named in the All Australian squad in just his 3rd year of AFL footy. I expect him to go close this year going by his pre season form. The only slight adjustment I'd personally make to our backline is I'd have Harrison Petty instead of Tomlinson. Now there's a kid who's got enormous potential.

Haha rightio...
