What

Max Gawn is the key to the game. As will be the case in almost every Melbourne game. Dees by 27.

Collingwood are woeful. They are boring, their list sucks, they have no forward firepower.

Such a good company man.

And don't forget you also admitted to holding back supposed inside info on Jack Vineys injury, instead telling the board that he was 'on track for Round 1' multiple times. You purposely fed false information into the training threads. I would ban you to be honest.

I thought I was pumped for tomorrows season opener. Now I am REALLY pumped. Great work.

I am guessing St Kilda have one of the easiest draws like every other season just based on their Round 1 opponent and venue.

Geez I must be the only one who likes Wagner as a player. Come on Josh, give them hell on Sunday boi!

I wonder what Pies fans think of him? I never got all the hype around him.. I noticed they have have moved him to the backline now.

Sally went to Zurich

Come on Crows, destroy the Druggos... dont give them an inch, dont let them get their confidence up. The cheats deserve to finish bottom 4, every season.

The banner is brilliant. It has bought some life and character to the page. Very well done.

Surely one of them will come in... we are lacking midfield depth looking at that team.

Good on Sportsbet for taking time away from taking advantage of gambling addicts and ruining families to bring some levity to the Round 1 lead up. Kudos!

Might come down to Frost vs Brayshaw, depending on the weather. If its raining we wont need Frost.

Agreed, I am not worried about him at all. Hes probably still a season away, but wouldn't surprise me if he forced his way into the team in the 2nd half of this season. His game for Casey vs Box Hill last season was an epic performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc1eO8GhtZw

I just mean with his agility.

Can you train to improve lateral movement/agility? Thats his biggest problem for mine. Not saying he has to be Ablett Jnr, but he seems to only be able to run in sraight lines.

Petracca and Oliver both locked in. If every player went into a draft to start the entire competition over, where would these two be selected all things considered? Wouldn't be too many selected ahead of them.

Only at Melbourne would two of its most important players being playing through foot injuries instead of being immediately rested/treated. What the hell is going on ? Are we STILL not a professional club? Will we ever be?

LOL, counting the perpetrator as a student/victim just to try and make it look like I was wrong. Incredible mental gymnastics. Fact - an armed officer saved lives. Thats all that matters here. President Trump was right once again. Arm the teachers, save lives. It's not that hard to comprehend.

The Maryland school shooter today was killed by an ARMED SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER at the school. The shooter was the only fatality. No students were killed. I am sure this will be ignored by all the anti Trumpers though, and you wont hear a peep about it on CNN.

Umm yes? Obviously.

I too hated what the USA stood for, until Trump came along. Bush invaded Iraq based on nothing, Obama nurtured and fostered ISIS, Hillary destroyed Libya which laid out the red carpet for the islamic invasion into Europe. Gaddafi himself warned the US that Libya was a 'firewall' that would protect such an invasion. So what did the Obama admin do? They killed him and tore the country apart knowing full well the havoc it would cause. "We came, we saw he died." Chilling. Trump has bought Kim Jong Un to the table, he wants peace with Russia, he has Saudi Arabia and other gulf states talking tough on terror for the first time and he wants to tear up the horrfiic Iranian nuclear deal. As I said in an earlier post a few days ago - they want Trump gone badly as he is making all his predecessors look like the war obsessed criminals they were and are. They would rather stir up a war with Russia than see Trump succeed as president (which he is doing regardless, in the face of a horrific media and deep state onslaught). He is a hero.

As good as he is we can cover for him. Salem may be the surprise packet here now the coaches want to use him as an inside mid.

Yeah but Saty claims he had some inside info about the seriousness of the injury that he was holding back.
