We should win this but I expect Stokes to put up a fight. We need a minimun 3 wickets this session and we are in the box seat. An amazing win if so. I would bang on Smith for a few overs as well.

We will beat the filth. My senses are telling me.

Hope Wade gets to a hundred. Must try and bat out the day and get to a lead of about 350.

Smith is an absolute classic. I don't believe I have seen a better batsmen play for us. 20 overs to go till new ball so they should be careful in the first few overs after lunch and then go for it a bit. A Smith double ton would be great.

A lead od 83 is a start but the unit ( Smith ) and Head have to keep going. Ward and Payne as well but be harder for new batsmen. Denly is the one I would watch. Getting the ball to spin well.

Out. Oscar and Preuss. In. May and Hore.

I will probably go just to look at the numbskull Richmond supporters. We wont win.

Burns looks all at sea against Lyon. Get Root out and they will be in trouble. Lyon looking dangerous.

I suppose we can go to the game with an ambivilance about it. Winning and losing don't have the same attractions to it. What I look forward to is a couple of frostemite efforts where he will outmark Lynch and then run off for 25 meters and kick it 5 meters onto a Richmond chest. Or oscar looking stoned in the goal square as his opponent is 20 meters in front marking the ball.

Smith is an absolute legend. I wish we had player types like him at Melbourne. The Warner dismissal I found interesting. I cant believe he did not appeal. Warner seems to have changed his style since the ball tampering. Australia used to be a ruthless side and if that gets taken away from them then they will be no good. It was like Warner was told to be politically correct when playing the game. I smell a Langer.

We have to win our remaining games to make the 8. I don't fancy our chances in this one.

Gold?

you have to be joking

Why is pick 3 being discussed. I thaught it would be pick 2.

I hope not. Give me Frost any day. You can love him and hate him at the same time.

No. It may be false info that I got but that is what I heard. We shall see.

And Gawn might miss a couple of weeks. So that will mean preuss back in side. This game could get ugly.

We need a strong forward and a pacy midfielder. Recruiting Keath would be stupidity of the highest order. Then again it is Melbourne.

Denial. I will call it depression.

What is the point.

That is exactly right. In fact the side of 76 would have flogged those no hopers of last night

Our basket case side is 3 points up. How is this possible ? Improve by a couple of % and we might win. The saints are no good either.

Roos won't coach us again but it is a nice thaught. If pyke loses his job at Adelaide and I think he will then there might be an opportunity for Lyon or is that too left field.

I would say 10 for Membry. What a ridiculous decision to have Omac in the side. I am not being anti him but he has done nothing to warrant selection. Would have kept Lockhart in the side.

To be a fair dinkum downhill skier there is one thing you need in abundance. Guts. On this issue I believe Brereton to be wrong.
