Spot saved for When game day Arrives.

probably not much to add.

Hey guys, sorry to intrude but just wondering where will Tom McDonald play? Forward whole game?

 

[AmericanAFL]

I’ve finally learned to temper my expectations, and so I’m a bit more cautious in my game day predictions than you may have seen in the past.

Melbourne by 30.

Hey guys, sorry to intrude but just wondering where will Tom McDonald play? Forward whole game?

Might try and get him up the ground more as Weideman and Jackson have worked pretty well up forward structurally. Might get 20-30% time on a wing?
Who knows though. Maybe we'll run with a 3 talls setup so they can spoil each other all game.

Unfortunately Port Adelaide in another close one. I feel they’ll respond after last week and we just don’t have the all round ability to defeat the best sides right now. Port by 7.

 

[Topkent]

Who ever plays on Dixon has a big role to play, I'd bring in Tmac and have him tag Westhoff wherever he goes on the ground. If he goes for a piss he better be shaking it for him

Nah let Westoff roam free and give him space

That way he has more Melbourne players to turn the ball over too

 

[djpaulydemon]

Team balance is way off i reckon. I think we will have a lot of difficulty retaining the ball inside 50 and I expect the time in forward half to be heavily skewed to Port.

 

[Topkent]

Port are gonna smash us on turnovers as we have 13 inside mids trying to cover in the zone.

 

[Grimesy87]

I reckon we will smash these pricks.

Melksham back in form, Fritsch dirty at his ending last week, McDonald back in after a reality check being left out, Brayshaw copping it in the media, Pickett getting into dangerous positions more frequently with games played and our key defenders looking better as a collective.

Dees by 25.

 

[Headless]

What's the go with Jack Watts atm?

 

[rhaz]

Feels very weird that we're playing tonight. Can't complain though, was getting annoying waiting until late Sunday for our game to roll around.

omac to kick 3!

 

[HANDSOLO]

Usually when I drink good booze we win - so this should help

 

[TheCount]

What's the go with Jack Watts atm?

I believe he's back playing in the scratch matches after his serious injury last year ... but pretty ordinary time to be coming back from a long lay off and trying to build match fitness.

 

[Grimesy87]

omac to kick 3!

I have literally no idea why I wrote what I did.

I have more faith in Victorians wearing masks than I do in Melbourne winning.

 

[schmuttt]

If Sparrow comes in and is useless because he's our 8th inside mid Goodwin has seriously learnt nothing.

I didnt mean to take the piss I’m just surprised how much omac surprised me!

it’s too early for me so I’m gonna get up at 5 and listen to last quarter ok my run

 

[blitznu]

we'll win tonight by a country ******* mile never been a surer thing.

 

[blitznu]

surely wont be surprised by it will you?

 

[HANDSOLO]

surely wont be surprised by it will you?

so are you saying we will win easy despite sparrow being useless? I’m not going to throw the glass bbq at you but I do wonder what else might be in there

I haven’t had anything since lockdown in March

 

[schmuttt]

surely wont be surprised by it will you?

Unfortunately no I won't be.

Hahah thanks! So I’m at exactly where I started asking the question...Bit of a mystery he is.. has all the capabilities of being very good forward just lost it the last couple years

 

[Jamurp]

Pretty bad record of late against Port from memory, hopefully we can change that a little tonight.

I think we should be winning this, but zero confidence as usual.

As much as Melbourne shits me, been looking forward to this match and it's gotten me through the week, go dees.
