Comments please feel free to add your margins

Will the loser be early spoon favourite?

[Ricochet]

Yes and Saints will lose. They're missing far too much experience for this game.

[kilbluff1985]

if Melbourne lose they have serious issues really should win

[TomK]

Demons by 39.

Saints for the spoon.

[Bill Manspeaker]

nah, we'll be right. Melbourne are missing their whole forward line aren't they

[T Dog]

missing everybody taller than 125cm..... :o

[AaronKirk]

No Montagna, No Hayes, No Steven. St Kilda will be spoon favourites. Melbourne by 42 points.

[quinny88]

Melbourne havent won at Etihad for like 8 years. Saints by 6 points

[Spinking]

Saints by 10 goals...  ;)

Probably most likely a Melb win by a few points, but will be interesting to see where the kids and new faces are at for both teams.

[Nige]

This is gonna be a decent, close contest, even if the Saints are missing three of their five best players (arguably).

I think the Saints might still be able to get up somehow.

Saints by 2.

[Bill Manspeaker]

Saints will win by 27 points

Add to that NDS and Big Boy missing from last years team and Melbournes list looks much better even with there forwards injured

[Bill Manspeaker]

Without a doubt. The man that really has to stand up for the Sainters is Nroo. If he leads from the front and has a good day... it won't matter that Steven, Joey and Lenny out is massive blow. IMO anyway...

[kilbluff1985]

I think it matters Melbourne should win the midfield battle easily which means a lack of supply for Roo and they will probably double team him

Think it comes down to how much pressure the Saints put on and hard to see them being highly motivated for the game with all the outs
