Bump

[bulldogsthru&thru]

This is a big game for us. Huge in the context of finals but also a great litmus test. To date, we are a middle of the road team who look like we will sit just out of the finals when the season ends. Melbourne are also in the middle pack but will probably just make the finals. It's a great opportunity to right the ship for us. However win or lose I'm looking forward to simply seeing where we are at. Was the adelaide game a sign of things to come or was it simply us beating up on an incredibly poor team? Come saturday evening we'll know for sure where this team sits.

Bang on, a season defining game

Win this and we may make finals, but lose and the chance is gone.

The addition of Dunks, Naughton and Hunter over the last 3 games certainly makes us more dangerous.

Bevo thinks we can only afford to lose one more game.

[comrade]

This game won't make our season, but it can certainly break it.

I was 100% confident we'd waltz it in against Adelaide, I have 0% confidence this week.

Kill the rich Dogs.

[Eastdog]

Won’t be an easy game but I’m hopeful that our big win yesterday will give us confidence going into this game. We must take our chances when they are there and be strong defensively. If we apply the pressure for 4 quarters then I think we are a chance. No lapses

Be great when JJ gets back and Crozier as well.

We have had close games with Melbourne over the past 5 years. It's probably a 60/40 game in their favour but we are not without a chance. We are a waaaaaay better side with Naughton and Hunter playing. Along with Daniel these two are arguably the most important players for us in terms of structure.

If we can get JJ and Vander back this week we are a big show.

Melbourne weren't really rated as contenders at the start of the season and we were yet they've played pretty well and we have been patchy. If we can stop Petracca influence on the game we should be in a good position to win it

We need a fast start. I think we have a great chance of winning this

If there is one side that melts under the pressure of expectation, it's Melbourne and their recent wins have come against poor and/or injury ravaged sides.

We should beat them, I'm just not confident we will. Like every win in 2020, it'll require another huge game from our top 10.

If we can bring the midfield heat we are a massive show in this. They're not a confident side and really turn to over handball when under pressure. Oliver is case in point. He's had time to carry and kick in the last few games, when he's pressured he coughs up handballs. I think we match up well against them and expect a low scoring close game that we will edge. Ruck is crucial. I'm in the Trengove rather than Sweet camp against Gawn.

I'd like Oliver tagged but it won't happen.

Happy for Trengove to come in if required with clear instructions to bash into Gawn at every opportunity. Get reported if you have to.
