In Melbourne for business this weekend so going to make the effort and get to the game. Last time at the MCG was the 2012 GF.
My last minor round game at the MCG was the infamous Barry Hall three 50 metre penalties game against the Hawks :-(
We're due against them.Comment

Saw LRT today as he descended and I ascended an escalator (KONE, looked like a 2006 model). Looked fit and had a slightly more LRT hairct than the one he had at the end of his glorious career, but ascertaining if he was up for a game this weekend with more certainty was a bit awkward on a crowded escalator.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.Comment

With Zac Jones penning a new 2 year deal, this might be the ideal game to bring him in.
He'll be up and about, and he's a hard nut....Come on Horse, you know you want to.
So slight change to my last, 'hoped for' changes....
OUT : Goodes, Towers
IN : Robinson, JonesWhenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

And as far as being a bit old. The respective average ages of the clubs last game was: Hawthorn - 26y 2m Sydney - 27y 3m.
But we can fix that by replacing Goodes and Shaw with Rose and Abe Davis. (That was supposed to be sarcastic, but doesn't sound all that bad.)
Anyway, I doubt that Goodes will be replaced for this game. I think all of the players from last week that played in the GF will hold their spots. It will just be who replaces Towers, with Jones, Bird and Cunningham being the the main contenders. I am leaning toward Jones because he has both pace and physicality.Comment

Surely Shaw has to go, and Goodesy is a good bet to be dropped too. Puns aside I'm very serious!Comment

Every time Shaw gets the ball I expect an error. I'd love to see a change there for one of the younger players such as Robinson. Whenever our backline gets pressured we make lots and lots of errors and you can bet they'll be pressured this week. Rampe should also have rest. His poise and composure has gone anholiday in the ressies would be good for him.Comment

Longmire is so conservative in his team selections that I'd be surprised if there is much change at all.
