[Zevon]

Demons with no May, and Lever looking 50/50. No excuses whatsoever for Port… think they’ll get home but not without a fright.

Power by 8 points

 

[FreoGirl]

Port should win this one at home

 

[JustaBattler]

Port to deflate the balloon...

 

[Toump Ass]

Irks me when people mention May/Lever as outs but forget Bowser. Love that little guy, very solid young defender.

Anyway port are shithouse. Hard to see them winning after all the big emotions celebrating king kenny’s milestone match last week. We’ll thrash them.

 

[cactuscall]

Why is it you post the local time in the title for the Freo/WCE home games but not for Adel/Port or Bris/GC? Just something I've noticed is always the case.

I considered Bowey when I mentioned May and Lever but I left him out just to annoy you Toump

 

[Fat Tony!]

The Dees midfield is absolutely humming and the forward connection has been much improved. I think we will be hard to beat given the forecast dry conditions.

Beating the Dogs and Hawks is hardly impressive.
This is Melbourne's second test against a true contender.

Port brought in Ratugolea, Zerk-Thatcher & Soldo for this type of match. They'll get the job done at home by 2 goals.

 

[Elixuh]

Fingers crossed that Goodie passes his match day test this week and can coach

Why do you list the Dees' outs without mentioning we have Powell-Pepper and Horne-Francsis out and Lord out?

 

[Drunk_off_R0zee]

Last time we played Melbourne we had 5-6 first choice players out and still got over the line and that was with May and lever playing.

Even with no JHF or SPP this time I think we’ll get it done by 8-20 points.

You played against a Melbourne side that put its season worst performance in and yet we led by 20 points before three-quarter time before multiple dubious free kicks get paid to Zak Butters.

We absolutely deserved to lose, but don't compare that game with this one, we are a better side this year than the last two seasons.

Lol dubious frees ok

We also missed an abundance of shots and the game should’ve been well and truly over early in the 3rd.

You also played against a Port side who were significantly weakened and still got over the line so..

Guess we’ll see Saturday night

 

[schmuttt]

Melbourne are one of three vic clubs who have a winning record at AO. I think we can and will win even with our ours, but I get why port are favourites and I’d imagine it’ll be a close game.

Demons change rooms at Adelaide Oval.

That bloke is a late out with hamstring soreness.

I guess beating the Eagles and Tigers is super impressive though

 

[Big Animal]

Oliver out with a "hand injury" will make it even harder for Melbourne. Easy port win coming.

Teams are up

We are?

 

[Zevon]

We are?

You’ve passed the eye test the last two weeks but I’m conscious that was against your bunnies the Bulldogs and then a bottom 4 bound Hawthorn side. Could make a similar argument about Port with wins over West Coast and Richmond too. This week should answer a few questions about both sides I reckon.

 

[ep12]

We are?

Our stubborn coach has seemingly finally conceded that we need to change the way we play. It will take time for it to fully click but it is clearly a different style.

I think we will eventually be a better side but it may take us a few losses to fix certain things. Can only hope for a Geelong 2022 type season.

 

[Brian McGee]

I feel that we have done the same thing. Playing a more attacking game style this year but seeming to get scored against easily on the rebound. If west coast and Richmond could score that easily against our press I am dreading to see Melbourne move the ball through us.

 

[ClintEastwood]

I feel that we have done the same thing. Playing a more attacking game style this year but seeming to get scored against easily on the rebound.

Happens with any team that employs a forward press.
