Tonight's game could go anyway, a thrashing either way or a close one either way wouldn't suprise me.
Tomorrow night it will be the Power one way or another, if the footy gods managed a spectacular game then the best the Dogs could hope for would be a close win/loss.

Can't see Geelong's midfield keeping up with Melbourne's. Gawn will feed them enough of the footy to give them the territory and Geelong's back line, while improved with Touhy, won't be able to move the ball out with ease, Melbourne's back half will hold strong.

Melbourne by 21.

The Bulldogs have had to make two changes they didn't want too. Martin, after his last game in round 12, is a move made to allow English to play forward and Cordy was replaced by Keath, he then comes back in.

Port by 27.
PAFC. Forever.

Just saw the Dogs aren't even allowed to have a captain's run, Port by plenty. As if the Dogs haven't done it hard enough already!

Ridiculous, if the AFL knew this was going to happen there's no way a Prelim should have been allowed to be played here.

Cause a lot of businesses rely on the eastern seaboard money and investment, when the government makes decisions like this why would they bother?

For me I just been waiting for Melb to stuff up and it hasn't happened all year so credit to the whole of the Organisation, but as much as I'm not a Scott fan there is no way Oliver will have it on a string like the last time they played think he had close to 40 (maybe Atkins runs with him) and he with Gawn were the reason they won the game, now Old mate Stanley just cant go with Max in the air but if he can somewhat nullify it and make it a 50/50 contested ball well you would almost favour the Cats mid group, there just ugly hard nose players that will thrive in this situation. Danger has had a injury riddled season you just watch him tonight if he turns it on for a good portion of the game they will win, In fact for me it Just has that feeling of a Geelong type scrap and they win Geelong by 4 goals, I truly hope I'm wrong would be great to see the DEES in the big dance against the DOGS I joke PORT gee that hurts.

I just think we win.

Stanley was ok vs Gawn last start, forgetting the last few seconds of proceedings. If Stanley can match that effort, and push forward at every opportunity I'll be happy.

We have been average most of the year.
We are due for it all to click.
I really hope Duncan and Guthrie lead the way tonight with their ability to lace out team mates.
Melbourne are younger, quicker.
But that doesn't necessarily win you finals.
I expect Cameron to be more a roving CHF and leave Hawkins to make a contest in F50 for the smalls to pick up the crumbs and turn them into sausage rolls.

We really need to utilise the corridor more.

Nerves, no nerves here. Not yet

They lost to Adelaide and Collingwood and drew with Hawthorn. I don't think they can be trusted.

So the state will lose interstate investment because a football team was denied a training session? Whilst not ideal (as nowhere has been), I would have thought this states record throughout the pandemic for both case numbers and lockdowns should have been far less damaging than Eastern counterparts, happy to be corrected if off the mark.

I’ve had a feeling in my water today the Cats will go real close tonight, but Booney’s preview has shifted me back to the Dees. TBH don’t really care either way, just hoping for a tight contest with a few quiet Pales.
