Look I don't expect Jones to play as badly as that again. But him dropping that mark changed that game yesterday. Its good that this happened in r1 and not later down the track. Next week I would expect a different response. Im putting yesterday down to a bad day. The same thing cannot happen next week.

May for Frost After the game I saw Preuss, my god he is a giant. We need him to either sit in the goal square and be another tall target or definitely get him into the ruck to help Gawn.

Wow the dogs have started so well. Maybe there jumper has given them superpowers. To keep sydney goalless in that term was good. Should be interesting to see what plan Longmire has to get them back in it.

Gee looking at our huddle the number of players sitting down haunching over. We need a massive final quarter from everyone. It feels like we are 4 goals behind but its only 8. Come on Melbourne scrap it out

Yes thats the way. Key players are getting into the game now. Great mark and goal by weids

Port players just get free easily. They just run run run Why is melksham passing. He can kick those

Gawn should come out for the first ruck contest stick the leg in and win the contest. Im sure Goodwin will structure us back on track. Big big 3rd quarter coming up

Preuss needs to come in to support max. Port are just getting into him, niggling him, even the young players are.

Gee our pressure has dropped way off. Goodwin needs to set them straight again. Our key players need to start standing up. I think the players thought it was just going to happen

Gee petracca looks like he has put on some muscle. Sparrow looks good

Gee you hope people are outside the ground coming in or eating lunch because its pretty poor. At the moment it looks like a Melbourne gold coast crowd from 7 years ago when we were down the bottom

I can't believe we are at game day round 1. Lets hope we get off to a much better start than our last game we played. I just hope we win well and it's not close in the final minutes. Looking forward to see Maxy dominate and see how our forward line looks without Hogan. Hopefully the weather clears. I know we are in desperate need for rain, but not today. Come one deees get it done.

What happened, I didn't see that part of the game

Howe shanked 2 kicks in that final term. I enjoyed seeing the pies lose by under 10 points again. Worst part is, is seeing Lingy swoon all over the cats boys.

Gee its very low scoring. Lets hope next week we have geelong at 4 goals during the 3rd quarter and we have dominated. Hawkins set shot he missed at the beginning of the 3rd he would have kicked that against us. Part of me wants the cats to win.

Is Hore a tall, small, what position would he play? I really do not know a lot about him. It will be fascinating seeing Watts play from an opposition point of view.

Sorry but im not devastated to see Rance hurt his knee. I bet its not a knee reconstruction because it's Rance but if it was some young kid it would have been. Anyway the Carlton forward line know they won't have him coming in as 3rd man up. They just have to be smarter with usage in there 50. They are still in this and just have to believe. Players have worked out how to tackle Dusty now

Rance beaten 1 on 1 again. Somehow they need to isolate him and mckay

Not a bad quarter by Carlton. Still in it

Ha hey gave away a free. I'm telling you get rance 1 out and he gives away frees.

There should have been 2 holding the ball decisions against Richmond there

My god how's rance and his flopping for frees.

Looking forward watching this kid Wright play. also I would love to see Rance get beaten 1 on 1 tonight. Bolton has to make him accountable and now allow him to be the 3rd man up all the time.

Im happy to see the cats beat the pies and Im hoping gws beat essenscum. That would make my weekend, after a melbourne win of course.

That conference system is just so wrong. I hope we never see it in the mens game. I mean our section the top 4 teams have 7 6 5 and 4 wins. We have won 4 and finished 4th. Meanwhile Carlton sits on top with 3. But something amuses me about nth not making the finals. Maybe its because they are nth, or maybe its because they were the new team and got the good players in.
