I'm tipping this because that's the outcome I want!

6 Petracca 5 Gawn 4 May - pure guts 3 Lever 2 McDee 1 Sparrow Stiff - TMac, Rivers, Windsor, Chandler

Good idea to death-ride Adelaide, just in case.

A little weird???... it's so odd it's funny! I couldn't help asking the question.

Chook fancier?

I could be wrong but recall last year KFW playing at a lower level, particularly early in the season. I suspect they'll do the same this year.

Casey looks like they relied way too heavily on Munro and Dunstan for all the grunt work. They seem to have fallen apart as a result.

1. Collingwood - Complete revulsion 2. Geelong - I live near Geelong. Everyone barracks for Geelong. I hate Geelong. 3. Carlton - Card-carrying arrogant, entitled tossers.

6. Petracca 5. Fritsch 4. Neal-Bullen (excellent game even with all the fumbling) 3. Koz 2. McVee 1. Lingers

Crackers is crackers

Ah yes 'The Royle Family', I remember it, funny and grotesque at the same time.

^ This Maclure is framing if that's what it's called - when the journo builds a (in this case completely biased) picture to create a story, agenda or shape an outcome. Keep slinging mud at Melbourne home crowds and ignore the facts such as the Bulldog fans chain doesn't stretch that far from the kennel and the number of games we play there v interstate sides. He'll then point to average attendances and also ignore the impact of playing in Alice, Tassie or under-construction Geelong. He'll then go on to say Melbourne doesn't deserve to play at the G when other teams are pulling bigger crowds. Carlton, for example, deserves to be playing more games there instead...yada yada yada vomit

x 2

I recall him being a beautiful kick when under no pressure. Under a little pressure, he would start to dump kick. Hopefully, Hore Mark 2 will show more composure with the heat.

Apologies Zeph - I agree with your belief that 'the rest of the comp probably hates it'. So that's me covered! I do, however, enjoy it when they jump the gun on the chant and then lose the game. Egg on face x 50,00 ferals

Disagree. I think they're arrogant knobs. They now go completely overboard. Eg. They did it during the last practice match (ridiculous) and in the first quarter against GWS - that ended well for them.

It made me throw up in my mouth a little: The Melbourne president didn’t want this remark ‘ending up in the newspapers’

Hey @kev martin, when you say Jefferson looked lost in match sim, was he playing as a forward or defender? Thanks

No, Collingwood offloaded him as a salary dump. He was always the better ruckman at the filth but McCrae's view was that you don't need a gun ruckman to win a flag.

I think it was 1 kick and 12 fumbles

Sorry, just saw this thread after starting another one inviting predictions. Mods can chuck it if they see fit. Cheers

The clowns at AFL Media have made their predictions, now it's your turn: Premier: Melbourne Runner-up: Brisbane Wooden spoon: West Coast Moving up: Hawthorn Set to fall: Geelong, oh wait.... Collingwood Club under the most pressure (and why): Dees, endless media attention, Gold Coast with Dimma talking finals Will the Suns finally make finals?: No Brownlow Medal: The Bont Coleman Medal: Nick Larkey AFL Rising Star: Ryley Sanders Recruit of the year: Brodie Grundy Surprise All-Australian: Kiddy Coleman Who should headline the Grand Final entertainment? Foo Fighters Headline you'll see: Melbourne's Culture - already a broken record Headline you won't see: No more gambling advertising 🥳 Big call: Petty turns back on Adelaide to extend contract with Dee's after kicking 64 goals for the season 🤞 Top 8 1. Brisbane 2. Melbourne 3. GWS 4. Collingwood - booo 5. Carlton 6. Sydney 7. Port 8. Adelaide

Did he get suspended for a jumper punch in an out of the blue kind of way? He may even be the first player pinged for it.
