Is it raining down heavily now in Sydney? Would love to choose Heeney but have a weird feeling that CEY will smash it tomorrow.

I've been in the CBD all day MMM, and it's certainly not raining heavily. Has been light rain for a few hours in the city. It's wet but it hasn't been coming down in these parts for a while.

Dunstall now saying the rain has stopped at the ground as well.

Didn't see the game so don't know just how uncomfortable he looked, but this is pretty much why I changed my mind at the last minute and put GAJ in... he's like pizza (even when it's bad it's good)

 

[Brettthejett]

Full time (pre adjustments)

Still 160 odd scaling points to be added to

 

[Lost In The Sky]

The biggest thing I can say about Melbourne today is, in the past 4 years, when a side came at us like GC did early in the last quarter, we would have found a way to lose the game!

They played really well today. I was really impressed.

It's so good for the comp to have Melbourne competitive I reckon.

 

[Humph]

Sorry Tom Read. You might have to wait until next week to Captain my team.

 

[Grant]

Thanks IDIG. I have the same 7 players + Bennell so they were easy to find.

Concerns over Lumumba and Salem if they struggle to get disposals when the side has a high scoring win. At least Lumumba went at 100% de and was 24pts better than McKenzie, who I was close to selecting.

Happy for the long suffering Melbourne fans to start the season well. Knew Hogan was a quality player having seen all his VFL games. They can build there future around him and didn't offload their captain, pick 4 and $7m to get him.

 

[Brettthejett]

Where the heck was miller all game?

 

[mvdi]

Hibberd vs johnson

Sorry but I have to make a decision.

Bellchambers(R2)+Goodes(D5)+80k

Vs

Nic Nait(R2)+Nathan Brown(D7)

I like option 2

 

[Bobbie]

Salem and KK = fail!!

 

[Zim^zuM]

Where's the good old x4 scaling days when you need them?


Sorry to say SC Fanatic but Ablett has a combined total of 1 mark and tackle for the game, which is hugely alarming. If I expected that I definitely wouldn't have picked him as it bodes poorly for the season ahead unless he improves his shoulder quickly.

He got crunched early and will take confidence in this game.

 

[The Experiment]

Anderson makes the cut...likely sub though?

Final Monday teams:
Haw v Geel Cats:
Interchange - Suckling, Duryea, Anderson, Ceglar.
Emergencies - O'Rourke, Schoenmakers, Hartung.

 

[jobeywatto]

118 for Ablett.

As an owner, I'll definitely take that. Not the win the non-Ablett owners were hoping for at half time.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Agreed!
Hogan looks like a star! Crashed a few packs and good around the ground by the looks of it.

 

[Brettthejett]

Hmmmmm who to captain now rocky, pendles or griff?

 

[Prochard]

118 for Ablett.

As an owner, I'll definitely take that. Not the win the non-Ablett owners were hoping for at half time.

119*

Sheesh, i'm actually considering taking the 118 for captain score.

 

[Darkie]

Hibberd vs johnson

Hibberd for me.

 

[Shaahorn]

I reckon I'll bank 118 Rd1.
