Round 1: St Kilda vs. Melbourne, Sat March 25, 4:35pm, Etihad

[LaHug]

St Kilda have won the last 14 matchups against the Dees. If the Dees want to make finals this year, this would be a good place to start. Whoever wins this game gets 8th spot this year (in my eyes).

[Bill Manspeaker]

if it's possible to have an 8 point game in the first round - this is it. game of the round for mine (obviously a bit biased :P)

flowerin St Kilda. Of all opponents at of all venues.

Melbourne have been fairly well hyped by the media, so naturally I'm cautious and sceptical about our prospects this year. Lose here respectably, I'll live and by all means we can push for finals, of course we can. However, a win here, and I'll REALLY dare to dream.

[Purple 77]

Hopefully we can perform as well at Etihad as Adele does tonight  ::)

Also, let's stop this rubbish Goodwin, and pick Jack Watts tonight.

I mean, come on.

JOEL SMITH!

Kept an eye on him for 7-8 months now :D

[Bill Manspeaker]

Paddy out with a hammy. maybe someone else too I dunno

that hurts us structure wise. Rooey you think will have to play closer to goal now for the majority of the game instead of running a muck on the wing

Sounds like Lonie or Acres in. There was also a whisper of Newnes, I hope not.

Just hammy tightness or actually did one?

shower, yeh fingers crossed

[Purple 77]

McCartin out would certainly help our cause; given we're running short on quality tall defenders.

[Bill Manspeaker]

still nothing official though. blokes on BF are starting to doubt Paddy's even out

hope is still alive!
