Gut feel says the Cats get up tomorrow night.
I'm hoping that not having the pre-finals break this year will really help Melbourne. I read somewhere that 28/32 of the top four teams that won in the first week went on to win the prelims before they brought in the bye. Here's hoping that your gut feel is wrong.

Can’t see it happening.
Unless the umpires start handing geeelong those bags of free kicks again.
... actual thinking about it you might be right.

Its a prelim so anything could happen, but it would be a big turnaround from rd 23 Aces.

even though it was only 2 pts, Geelong were only better for 15 minutes.

Scott would have to pull the trigger and go full speed like they did in that 15 minutes,

and Stanley would have to beat Gawn.

I reckon the bookies have both prelims about right,

although I agree to an extent that Port are more certain than Dees.

I reckon Melbourne and Port go into both Prelims as deserved favourites. That's the way I reckon it will go but you never can tell.

I expect Melbourne to be better prepared for any Geelong surge and I don't think they will allow Geelong to get a substantial lead, I can see them trying to blow Geelong away early and then clamp down for a while to weather any comeback.

Melbourne will win comfortably, relax folks.

Doesn’t mean Geelong won’t throw try to mug the Dees in Q1 and try to bully the umpires at every opportunity.

Our chances of coach presser porn post game are deliciously high.

Had an email from an old Navy mate Speedy, asking us living in WA to get behind his Moggies. I wish he had not sent it as I had to tell him the truth that I absolutely loathe his geriatric lot at Corio Bay.

will be interesting to see who the neutrals get behind. Knowing the parochialism of WA, it’ll probably be the team that has the most locals playing for them.

You'd think so but they are up against Geelong who are perennial bed shitters themselves.
Then there will be a massive shitt fight tonight.
You haven't witnessed Melbourne Football Club over the last 45 years.
