Hi guys,

I will have a stream available for Sunday's game if anyone can't attend. Please private message me if you'd like it.

Just saw the odds. Melbourne raging favourites then !

I already put 100 on Swans/Eagles/Saints/Port at 3.88 (That same multi is currently 4.05).

I've made a lot of money betting on St Kilda against Melbourne, I don't expect it to end just yet.

I recommend you all watch the League Teams preview on this game, they go into it in far more detail than every other game. I have highlighted the spot on the video where it starts, so when you play it should just go from there.

Gilbo straight swap for Roo and leave it at that. Gilbo's a utility, who can play Back, Mid or forward whilst also being able to give Longer some relief when T-Mac/Pederson ruck.

Get him to play the 3rd forward who can provide good defensive pressure.
If that doesn't work, swing him back and push Sav/Robbo up onto a wing.

Jack Watts will be dropped to Casey he won't play.

Gilbert on Petracca

Would much rather Webster blanket him. Not sure Gilbo has the speed or agility to stay on CP.

Melbourne probably only playing 1 tall forward, so prefer Gilbo wing or forward with Carlisle, Brown and even Robbo down back already

Had a bad feeling at this stage before the Essendon game, but this time around I have a great confidence we can get a win, even a 30 points + win. They have some key outs and the team seems to be running on fumes at this stage of the year

Huge game for both clubs and it will be a great experience for our younger guys to be involved.

I think the Dees will start like a house on fire and kick first 2-3 before we get control and run over the top of them.

Saints by 41 points

Should have cracked 200 that night!

I think only Geelong has hit the 200 mark in the last decade. Twice.

This and when G-Train mauled the Blues I think we got 196. Definitely should have got to 200 with that forward line in the glory days.

From memory that was the day Fev started at full-back on G-Train?! Dennis Pagan pls

Saints have not won without Joey and Roo since 2005.
Time for the boys to stand up.
Can't believe the odds. $2.45 .
I bet with my head not my heart and they are juicy odds.
Go saints!!

Well you did say we haven't won for 12 years without them so the odds based on that may actually be unders.

Last 12 years Melbourne has been Riewoldt's bunny but the way he is moving now I don't think it will hurt us at all being out.
I think the MCG suits our game plan now as opposition teams at Ethihad can block the exits out of defence as the first thing we look at is to switch the ball and get it to the fat side.

Sydney did it to us the the dome this year perfectly but it's very hard to do at the G as it's very wide which is where White's leg will be very handy.

 

[The Punter]

Gilbert in for Riewoldt opens up the possibility of Carlisle forward if required. Seems to me to be the only change.

I know we probably won't do it but Brown out would be good for team balance. They have a very short forward line and we could get an extra runner in if we left him out.

Someone posted earlier the Cam Pederson matchup would suit Brown. I find it hard to argue with that comment.

Ahh yes.

Colm Begley. What a match.

There was some suggestion he'd play back on Bruce. Mc Donald on Memberey and the other Mc Donald forward for them. The biggest issue for us is containing Garlett, he often gets off the chain when we play them and he's under a bit of pressure to perform.

I hope so Gringo, it sounds like they are shuffling the deck in reaction to our lineup rather than being proactive. Hopefully we've caught them short and get home in a canter.
I don't normally take much notice of matchups until the bounce and usually lock in on a couple of key ones - would Gears be a chance for Garlett? or will he spend most of his time in the midfield and slide forward for a few cheapies?

That's what people were saying when we played Richmond. I disagree as it frees Carlisle up to play a more offensive role.

 

[bird_man]

Is it just me or do Melbourne seem to go into every game against us as decent favourites from the bookmakers?

Geary will go to Garlett imo
