Meggs

Neither Bruest nor Gunstan looked like 2018 All Australians tonight...

Gee Mitchell is average. He really is an accumulator not a match winner. Will be quite disappointed if he wins the Brownlow

If so it will be a tough gig for Pies in Week 1

Missing Broad and Butler

Meggs is going with Mrs Meggs and will be sitting quietly in the Bob Davis Stand. So after a win the Meggs’ will drive home happily and open a nice bottle of wine. But either way some wine be partaken...

Gaff?

Oh joy we have Dwayne Russell...

I think the changes this week have been ok

ANB the new Bugg

Gerard Healy’s percentage booster comment shows how out if touch he is with the game and the season...

Confidence down everywhere. That first touch that a-graders have we seem to only have a few, Oliver, Fritsch...not positive we’re gonna win tonight...they say how great the conditions are but we are the fumblers. TMac our best msrk is obviously not 100%..

Gotta say I enjoyed that revenge for Round 1

More class

It’s certainly finals pressure. Our list needs some work. Our bottom 6 are not as good as Tiges.

Pies are looking good. Cripps and Curnow not as impressive as I expected. Blues don’t look like scoring. Still a long way to go in this game but Buckley looks safe....

Please pass me your knife...

Is anyone watching this? Bombers are average, it’s hysteria that gets them early season wins. That’s why I selected them in my Footytips. They will not finish in the top 4 like my Bomber mates and HS columnists reckon. Their young players aren’t as good as ours.

The Freo loss was bad, very bad and it got worse the next week against the Mo Hopers. Losing to teams we should defeat is a Melbourne habit that I hope we shed soon...

Good hit out. It was hot out there. Lever is a great acquisition. Bugg and Stretch are not best 22 but depth at this point. Dom is a better option. Love Jeffy and Fritsch looks v promising, like hiskicking skills. Bring on the cats.

To the lemmings, Dom is a long way ahead of Stretch and Bugg...

Port Adelaide squad includes Jacks Watts and Trengove plus Jimmy T and Dom Barry. New teammates again. Doubt they’ve ever played in the firsts together before.

We will break their run ?‍♀️ in R3 2018...

Agree. If James Brayshaw hadn’t torpedoed the Roos relocation to GC, Andrew D would not have hastily expanded the comp and I believe we would still have 16 teams....

He’s mostly v good. V fit. I just think there is a wide gap between the big three and their next mids. I have regular banter with 2 Cats supporters and they don’t dispute my observations....

Not a huge fan of C Guthrie. Watch him closely, he often kicks points when he a goal was possible and he handballs to teammates feet a la Tommy Mac. He is not an a-lister.
