Game Day Round 18 - Melbourne v Port Adelaide, Saturday 22nd July, 2.10pm, MCG

[LeverPuller]

Ladder watch

If Melbourne win: Jump to 6th and possibly 5th depending on percentage result. Will stay in 7th if Richmond and Sydney win.

If Melbourne lose: stay in 7th but can drop as low as 10th if Essendon, St Kilda and West Coast win.

No streams.

Really important game for us today, lose this and we are a real danger of missing the finals.

I do like that line up (swap JKH for jones). If they can stay fit and on the park, our improvement toward finals will be rapid, meaning if we make it we should be competetive

Finally we have most of our best team back in. It's gone under the radar a bit but we've had our 2 worst losses of the year in the past 3 weeks. Looking forward to seeing a strong team out their today.

Damn close to full strength. Someone comes out for Jones but beyond that you are swapping guys at the edges.

Expecting JV and Watts to be rusty, unfortunately.

That's the question isn't it. Still, trending in the right direction.

Frankly, I just want to see a competitive performance today. If that results in a win, all the better

 

[LeverPuller]

JV will come out nuts IMO. He's going to be jabbed.

 

[rhaz]

Hogan, T Mac and Watts to kick 10 between them. 30+ point win giving vital points and percentage. Go Dees

 

[Russian Demon]

Lol. So many tracksuit wearing port fans...

I really think Wattsy & Dom were held back for this one, and will have plenty to prove.

Wattsy's 150th, conditions which suit Hoges who is adjusting back to AFL footy, Jeffy with plenty to play for (family bereavement, RAP launched (ditto Nev & JKH)), Trenners' return, Viney the freak taking on Wines, Gawny taking on Ryder. I love it and I reckon we will win by 4 goals

 

[Higgs Boson]

Can't see Garlett?

 

[Topkent]

Bloody hell I hope trenners proves me wrong and just rips up the G

 

[Topkent]

Can't see Garlett?

He was out there with a shaved head in a tracksuit

 

[Higgs Boson]

My bad. Be still my beating heart!

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Come on boys - shattered I'm away and mossing this game live!

 

[Topkent]

TMAC is god

 

[jhong]

is there radio coverage of this game ?

 

[Topkent]

Omac starts poor..

 

[Topkent]

is there radio coverage of this game ?

I'm assuming MMM and ABC will have coverage

 

[Topkent]

Huge applause for Trenners as he comes on

 

[Higgs Boson]

Love you Trenners xx

How are we 'looking'? On?

Overseas so can't watch this game, but early scoreboard pressure is always nice to see.

Our best tackling of the season so far should have had 20 holding the balls

 

[Topkent]

Omac has looked atrocious so far
