This site is hard to please.
If we travelled interstate… boom!
If we play a strong traditional Melb rival … boom
If we play a relatively weak interstate team AT HOME… boring, not a true test, no respect boom boom boom
If we’re on top of the ladder 20% clear after Rd 1 ‘not a true test, a joke, AFL stitch up, watch us crumble!!!’ BOOM BOOM BOOM
Who should we play Rd 1 for 51% approval? (That would be the maximum possible!!!)
Our Round 1 win loss record from 2009 is as follows (home means in Melbourne). We’ve won 5 out 6 when we played in Melbourne. Make of that what you will - which to me is basically nothing.
