Don't really care who wins, but leaning slightly towards WB with the WA boys and lack of Clayton Oliver.

Melbourne have got 3 WA boys and no Bailey Smith as well.
It's a 50/50 call for unlikeability.
They way port ****ed is funny but losing teo prelims in games where they shouldn’t have lost is shocking. Would have probably lost to the tigers last year but would have been a genuine chance for them this year against the Dee’s
The only saving grace i guess is that is two fresh teams not the same clubs in the grannie.
Granted the dogs did it in 2016 but that felt like a flash in the pan

Definitely on the Melbourne train.
What's the bet some dodgy calls go their way to ensure the draught is broken.

They can both GAGF. The thought of Oliver winning a premier makes me feel ill.
Agree re Oliver but Libba more than offsets that.

Essendon fan mate of mine told me essendon looking to offload dylan sheil .
Like Bailey Smith he's a hell of a player but a tad annoying.They can both GAGF. The thought of Oliver winning a premier makes me feel ill.
I've grown to not mind him.

He's got a touch of Chris Mainwaring about him.

Not sure where to post this... but Daniel Riccardo is about to win the Italian GP. Right now!
Like the cats/dees prelim, i have no preference for the winner.
Gut feel says the dogs do it, theyve been ****ed over hardcore with all the quarantine and this has galvanised them. (If that was us we would have gone to water)
I just hope its a thrilling contest and not over by quarter time like the prelims.
Three ways of cheating asa club in a comp wit a draft and salary cap.
- PED - Bombers were eventually smashed by the corrupt AFL
- Salary cap cheating- Blues were shashed by the AFL and in part due to their own issues havent recovered.
- Tanking to cheat the draft - Melbourne were fined $0.5M for not tanking by a couurpt AFL who turned a blind eyer to a povo Vic club. Then the AFL paid the fine as the club was broke.
Contrast this to the Eagles having to show cause because Cuz was on recreational drugs. The dogs won on the field not off it.
I think not for melbourne.

AFL didn't punish the Bombers for their doping.
They cleared them at their internal tribunal, WADA were the ones who banned them.
AFLs only sanctions against the Bombers was for governance issues (not keeping records of what was being injected). They never gave them any penalties for doping.

Correct, and anyone wanting the AFL to ditch ASADA over Willie should remember that if it wasn't for them and WADA, the Bombers would have got away with it.

Zorko with his fifth B&F shows that you need to be a little careful when using this metric as the measure of a player.
I'm not sure the first four he won with the Lions winning no more than 5 games in either of the seasons count for a whole lot.
(Not disputing that he is a mighty fine player in his own right)

Just watching On The Couch and Gerard Healy thinks feigning a handball should be play on. Bloke's lost his marbles. If you're dumb enough to move off the mark before the umpire plays on, that's on you, not the player with the ball. It ground my gears every time Jack Darling was called to play on because he feigned a handball without moving off his line.
I imagine his point is that if you’re now penalising players 50m for taking a step sideways on the mark they should be quicker on play on calls, including fake handballs. Don’t disagree as long as the stand rule applies

But how is faking a handball 'playing on'? You haven't moved off your line and haven't disposed of the ball.
