I wonder if the pub around the corner will have the game on tonight. Might have to renew this stupid AFL live subscription.

Wish Rioli was playing :'(

Cheers. I wonder if both sides will ditch the 8 man bench and limit their rotations? Wouldn't surprise me if we don't due to not playing in the heat often, but I reckon you guys will.

Id say teams will use just 22 maybe due to the heat they will use 2 subs as the 23 and 24th man.

The eagles might usr an extra due to the ruck situation. Giles probably not ready for a full game so wont surprise me if Vardy or Petrie play just a half aswell
 
Looking forward to seeing if Gawn rips us apart or we make a better fist of things at ground level.
IMO his ruckwork isn't THAT good, it's his Cox-like ability to cover ground and take important marks in either 50 metre arc.
 
I am quietly confident that we will be all over their midfield. Vardy to give Gawn a hard one.
Their midfield is fairly imposing - Vince, Viney, Jones, Lewis, Brayshaw, Petracca, Oliver, Melksham...

This will be an interesting game because Melbourne have maintained that they want to develop a winning culture (take it for what it's worth, but I think they mean business this year) and will field a strong team this evening. It should not be a big margin either way tonight, but you'd rather win by a handful of goals than lose by a handful.

If it's within a goal or two, it matters not so long as no injuries occur.

They should've beaten us at Subi last year as their midfield was all over ours (how we held on I don't know).

Basically it's the ideal preseason match to road-test our Naitanui-less midfield (save perhaps for the ground...they better have patched up Adele's divots).

Lol melksham. One of the worst players in the comp IMO.

Agree about the others though, and you also forgot Tyson and Stretch (both really important players to them) as well as Salem who is a good user of the ball, and Hunt, who breaks the lines with rather crazy and subtle angles

I'd still take our midfield group anyday of the week.

We'll smash Melbourne - Biggie circa 2016

Barrass to play on a wing?
Won't have the tank, even though he is a tank.
