Team Lineups

 

[aussierulesrules]

Melbourne's team on paper actually looks very, very decent and I think they had the better form last week of the two teams. I note that GWS won both games between these two teams comfortably at a minimum last year though and have now won 3 on the trot against Melbourne. Could see it going either way, but if GWS play well they will likely get the chocolates, being their home game and all.

 

[Proper Gander]

I don't recall too many great games at Manuka oval - or whatever it is being called this minute. I'm not certain home ground will lend spectacular advantage to the home side.

Demons for two in a row - and cross fingers that the Melbourne fans don't die from the shock

 

[Hawkers]

Looking forward to this one.
Always good to watch footy at Manuka

 

[James_]

Felt more confident about the game last week for some reason.
Still, think we'll just get up.

 

[snitzel]

Don't get sucked in by Melbourne too much.

Giants to have a strong win.

 

[Bluelegs]

Interesting that the last time gws won at manuka was in 2012 against the gold coast. It was their first win as a club.

It's actually in Canberra which suits Melbourne a bit. Good summary though. I'm pretty pumped for this game, just hope we're not pitted with Dwayno, Derm and Tony Shaw in the commentary.

Why is this game being played in Canberra?

I nearly flew to Sydney to watch it when I saw we were playing giants away

The fixture said SO and I just assumed that was Spotless Oval or whatever.

Why is this game being played in Canberra?

Because just like this time last year, and the year before that...and the year before that, Spotless Stadium isn't available due to the Easter Show.

 

[Blackas87]

Melbourne's team on paper actually looks very

Our only possible best 22 injuries are Trengove out for the season who has barely played the last year and a bit and Petracca also out for the season who hasn't played a game. So basically this is the best lineup Melbourne could basically get all year. So would want a decent performance.

 

[TheKanga]

Melbourne to go 2-0
