[Bulldog4life]

I feel confident we will win. Fritsch and May being out is a big plus as they both always give us grief. Feeling bullish.

The wind is forecast to drop sharply around the time of the cool change and prior to the start of the game.

Unleash the four headed monster!

If we get some light rain it might help the surface to settle a little. The reports of injuries, supposedly brought on by the surface Collingwood v Geelong are a bit of a worry.

I’m really looking forward to the season starting tonight. First time since the pandemic started that I actually feel fully invested and keen to go.

Same here, nervous energy but excited. Lets get off to a good start and bury the Dees.

It doesnt feel as hot as the temperature gauge is saying. Our players will adapt.

First goal to Naughton and the dogs by 20 points.

Threat of rain now gone, bit sunny here at the moment. Change still forecast for 7pm onwards

[angelopetraglia]

Cool change has hit. Almost perfect weather for footy. Just a little windy, but should continue to subside.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Doesn't look like a big crowd at the moment

[bornadog]

10 umpires out there - gets more ridiculous every year

[Topdog]

So excited to see our new forward line in action

A lot of media focus on Melbourne being able to easily counter attack which seems to neglect that Marra and in particular Naughton are very agile and work hard
