Melbourne 43 points

Looking forward to the Gawn vs Xerri matchup.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Jack Darling’s 300th.

Hope North gets him some decent supply for the occasion.

Now I think about it, I’m kinda surprised the Dees didn’t go after him once it was apparent the game had passed Ben Brown by.

 

[demondavey]

North will win

 

[TheKanga]

North will win

I'm concerned Melbourne could win by 10 goals

 

[TruRoo]

Not looking good for us minus the guy who would destroy Fritsch.

Good chance for Xerri to solidify himself as the game's best ruck by taking down old man Gawn

We might have to play him down back for that.

 

[JackFlash]

Demons won't drop this one, Dees by 45points.

Teams are up

 

[Cudi_420]

North is due. Honestly I think Melbourne overperformed against GWS. I am genuinely worried about the pace of North especially at Marvel. GWS smoked us in transition and it literally cost us the game. North just feels more settled to me.

 

[Toump Ass]

Looking forward to seeing North win a few on the trot this year, hopefully it starts next week though.
If North can keep it close they'll probably run over the top of us, like every team does.

 

[Mofra]

Going to be a hell of a battle in the middle.
North's midfield beat ours pretty well last week, but Gawn/Oliver/Petracca will be a tougher ask for them this week.

North are competitive but their skill level lets them down at times, especially their inside 50 kicks. I think they may 'click' this year at some point, but not sure it's this week.

Last year it took us until after the bye to start playing like an actual team.

Expecting a lot of errors and mistakes but hopefully it comes together.
Dees would have this circled as a win and won't want to drop it.

Half our team is suffering from a chronic lack of poise. I agree we seem close to reaching a respectable standard of footy, but until I see the best 22 getting through a game without the kind of unforced errors that lead to a several goal disadvantage, it’s hard to be confident.

 

[timokane]

Bullish on North to get over the Dees Dees dont like marvel at all.
North by 17 points

 

[PCORF]

I hope North win.

I actually think we are better at marvel than at the g in more recent times. I do agree that North are starting to look good and will be a challenge for most teams.

 

[rdhopkins2]

North are on the up and could well push the Dees today. Dees will still win but it should be a closer game than many are predicting. Dees by 9pts.

 

[voorhees]

has the potential to be a sneaky Roo's day...
yet to risky to tip against the dee's you would think.. D's 14p

 

[Blightys Barrel]

The Kangas will be relieved not to have Kozzie and May playing today. In the practice match a few weeks back Kozzie toyed with our Midfielders with his pace and decision making. May provides such stability down back and his kicking is elite.

The North Backline is the Achilles heel, and if the Dees midfield get on top and provide enough supply to JVR, Frisch etc al then they will win.

I think the X factor (not Xerri ) will actually be Jack Darling and how the players and coaching staff want to honor him in his 300th. For non North fans he has integrated into the club, and has shown what a consistent hard work ethic allows one to do. If they aren’t motivated enough wearing the club jumper, then maybe winning it for JD should be.

My only other hope today is that the Umpire quartet have a cracking game. Consistent calling though out, no howlers and let the game entertain the fans and not end up like the Pies/Dogs game that was a blight on the AFL.

Kangas by 5 points - 1 for each of our new recruits to the club this year playing in this match.

 

[timokane]

North to do a Saints of last night and cause an upset.

Demons never like Marvel.

if this was at MCG Melbourne but its at docklands.

Interesting to see if its roof open of shut.

On days like this ill like to see it open.

If now rain on the forecast for at least a day i think day or night its got to be open.

Tip North to win by 14 points.

 

[Mofra]

Larkey is a gun KPF and I still think he's underrated.

 

[StillAtLarge]

North by panels

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Fritsch shoved in back to Pink, but paid deliberate over the line. Umpires still clueless
