I knew I slept in but was never gonna beat that. Gotta go to work but start at 6, work through lunch and knock off at 2 I should be laughing. Can really see another 10 goal win here. I think we are a 5 goal better side than the pies and will turn it on today on the big stage. Hibberd to have a huge one. Dee's by 64.

At least Bontempelli isn't in the top 3. How everyone rates him as a gun is beyond me. I'd take nearly every player on the list in front of him.

Listening to Gary Lyon and Roosey on On The Couch they seemed to think Hibberd to play Levers role and depending on opposition foward lines one of frost, Hunt or Smith in. Makes sense to me.

I live in the same town as the Melksham's and it's a well known fact how well he can box on around here. Also worth noting that we let Nathan Jones' brother go, I hope we don't let Jake's little brother go.

The scary part is Reiwoldt had games where he done that on his own. Dead set legend.

Didn't run into Maddog did you?

Up bright and early and can see Etihad (or whatever it's called now) from our hotel. Wandered down to the Woolshed last night for some over priced craft beer (don't they sell VB in the city anymore) but will go there again today anyway. I think Bulldogs are about 3 months early as they are going to need an effort of marvel proportions to win this one. Dee's by 15... Goals. Jonesey will tear it up.

I think champion data try and do the best unbiased statistical analysis possible but when Belchambers can have 3 disposals and still score over 100 you have to question how it works

Considering how far in front we are in all other areas it's amazing we are able to have such a differential. I assume we have the most amount of hit outs and hit outs to advantage, which means half the time we don't get an opportunity to have a contested possession because it's a clean possession. Where do you get your information?

I always seem to notice Gawn literally putting it down Jones' throat. And then there is Oliver and Brayshaw

Thanks skuit they are some dominant statistics. Is there anything that we are actually struggling with?

I think the top nine played the bottom nine last year after the first round which was very bizarre

Who gives a [censored], let the footy do the talking (Had a couple Jägers)

Here we go. If we had of set a bench mark for our last 4 weeks I think 75 goals, 14 quarters won in a row and 3rd on the ladder would have been about the best we could hope for. To those who say we played easy teams, tell that to Hawthorn and Geelong last week. These next 3 games are vitally important, and I for one have a good feeling. Dees by 35 points, McDonald BOG (hedging my bets a little bit there is two of them ?)

Another opportunity to make a move towards finals, we failed our challenges last year, will this be the day we finally stand up and demand to be counted. I think so. Dee's by 78. Petracca to tear it apart. Frosty by the length of the Winton straight.

Down at Winton watching the V8's and tryed to buy a membership. Not sure if it worked or not (having a few breaky beers) Thanks to all that make this possible, love the forum, love you guys. Go the Dee's Edit: it went through, go the Falcons FROSTY!!!

That's crazy, bloke loves it at the Dee's. Came into the side and lit it up at a time we were struggling. I think he strikes me as a very unique individual and this is the first time he has had to deal with a form slump. Can't wait to see him do what he does best, RUN. Let Lever, Jetta, Lewis and Hibberd worry about defending, you just attack.

i think this is a huge problem for us, I have noticed it and a few commentators have as well. They are all trying to hard. I don't know how many times 3 or 4 Melbourne players launch to spoil a high kick inside 50 and the crumbers kick a goal. No surprise they try harder against better opposition and get exposed more

This competition is over, give that man the $10,000

Hopefully better than his mate Simmons anyway

All good, wife was away last night and the boys stayed asleep. Woke at 4 but amazingly fell back asleep. No doubt I won't be able to sleep tonight now. Hoping Petracca can tear it up and Dee's for an easy win.

I fully agree with this comment but sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need to do, unfortunately both Lewis and Vince have lost top gear which is understandable at their age. Neither will be dropped until Oliver, Trac and co. can sure the maturity required to slow the game down when required IMHO

Yeah that seems about right. Can afford to carry the Weed and give him 4-5 games in a row to prove himself now. After all we have carried ANB and Harmed so far this season
