Geez people really don’t rate Port on here. I’d be very surprised if we belted them in round 1, usually the games are reasonably close across the weekend.

They are rolling out 4 debutants plus a couple from other clubs. You really should smash them. If it was in Adelaide I would say it would be close but not in Vic.

Load up on Melbourne line. Port playing the kids and Ken is directly quoted as saying he has no idea what they will be doing. Watching Port and Carlton flounder this year will be a gift that keeps on giving.

Considering how you’ve been waffling on about how Melbourne will be found out this year I find this post hard to take seriously. What happened to your Roovolution account?

I base my predictions in reality, not fantasy.

It is not mutually exclusive to say Melbourne will defeat a worss side and that they wont make another prelim.

Do I need to explain how a season works?

Collingwood just need to stop Dangerfield and Selwood and we should win by 20pts. If Dangerfield and Selwood are the two best players on the ground then it will be within a goal either way. Think pies have to much midfield class for the cats. Will be the match of the round. Mcg expect 72,000 to the game. Would of been 80,000 if the game was played on a Saturday night. Geelong fans are known for not turning up to Friday night games due to taking upto 2 hours to get home especially with all the traffic. Would not expect any more then 20,000 Geelong fans at the game Friday night

Of course you do

That’s nice

Stating my opinion. But majority of footy fans believe that Collingwood have a better list then Geelong

I'm sensing Brisbane could be the upset of the round. Expect Eagles to be better by the end of the year but they might not be as ready to go as the Lions in round 1, plus they are travelling a long way, might make it harder if they are playing in warm/humid conditions.

I also dont like the fact the Premiers open their season with a long away trip. They could have been given a big home game at least.

Definitely a danger game for West Coast, but it's been warm and humid in Perth too so weather won't be a factor. Brisbane played well last season and with Neale joining the club they're going to be a lot stronger. Should be a great game.

Retire undefeated? Not a bad way to bow out

Really looking forward to that one. Just feel Lions are really going to be up for this one while Eagles have bigger fish to fry later in the year.

 

[schmuttt]

I hate ingrained pessimism. Even with Port having Wines and perhaps Ryder out it feels like we'll put in a stinker and they'll roll us.
