LeeToRainesToRoach said:Melbourne only beat us by 3 goals last year after dominating the match, and had won 10 of their last 11 in the lead-up. The break has arrived just as they've got some momentum up. Pickett and Rivers had good games and will be missing, and Johnstone is a big loss. Several of our youngsters are better players, we've added a firing Polak, and surely Holland won't be able to hold Richo again?
They're some of the positives anyway. :-\
IIRC we actually got smashed in that game, Robertson dominated and we kicked the last 4-5 goals of the match to make it look respectable.
There was a period where we routinely beat the Dees but the last couple of years they have been far superior to us.
