I look at Melbourne's expected 22 and there really aren't any weak links. It's going to be a grind for 4 quarters and if we do emerge as winners, it'll be a small margin.

As fans, we'll be white knuckling all game I imagine.
They've got a number of flaky players.. it's all good & well to look amazing when you win by 14 goals, but their entire forward-line is just as likely to stink as opposed to look amazing. As per our PF we simply can't allow clean ball into Melb's forward-line, but given Keath pretty much didn't play on Brown in rd 19 and Gardner hasn't playing against them at all I'm confident we will have a strong aerial presence.
