How Excited are you by the NAB cup game tonight out of 10? And give your reasons why or why not?

results could be interesting...

I'm keen to see how much players have improved in size and fitness from last year...Plus see new talent coming through...

And the cricket season was a shocker...so i've been hanging for the footy!

    there was a replay on of the collingwood round 2 game the other day, and i have to say i was getting a little tense, even found myself yelling at the tv a few times....

    Im getting pretty antsy

    Not really. It seems a bit too Micky Mouse to be able to really take anything away from it. I guess just watching the lads kick the footy around will make it worthwhile but other than that there isn't much there for me.

    I think you can take something away from it in terms of young players form but not really anything from the result. Having said that im hoping we are very competitive.

    I voted just 5. NAB cup are just warm up games. No reflection on the real season. Also we are well below par because of our usual spate of injuries. As Jaded said the injuries are at it again. Grrrrrr

    Not sure about these comments if you guys are giong to the game or are in Victoria?

    But bloody hell I have waited ages to watch football again and watch my team. Forget about analyzing it to much or what we can take out of the game, I just can't wait for the feeling of watching the boys play.....

    Not very excited but I am keen have a first look on how the players have developed over the off season. Players of interest to me are Bennell, Dunn and all of the fringe players.

    Highlight of my week, which says more about my week than the actual game mind you.

    But footy is footy and watching Melbourne play is always awesome (2007-2009 aside).

    reasons why not:

    A)Scullygate

    B)We have a severely weakened side and thus will probably be smashed

    C)The NAB cup is always a bit rubbish with the dodgy rules and everything

    Hanging out to watch footy. Just want to watch the new guys, especially Howe, and see how others are going. Hope to win so I can see the next game. Unsure as to where we go if we dont get through, but flashbacks of the Adelaide pre season match in Whoop whoop last year make me want to be at, or at least see the next game.

    I rated a 7, but would most likely be exited about watching footy again, even if it was not us playing. Dee's in first match is just a bonus.

    I'm very excited as I'm looking forward to seeing the new recruits going around and to see how Strauss and Blease go. I'm also a little excited about the Sydney/GWS/GC round as it will be interesting to see where those teams are at... I hope Scully is watching as it may help to give him some sort of perspective as to where he would sit in a side like GWS (that is, bottom of the ladder).

    Voted 6. 4 points of which derives from the fact that there will be some sort of AFL being played on the weekends now for the next month. 2 of which comes from seeing some of our young guns (mainly Blease) running around.

    But really, whatever happens tonight, it's Round 1 I want.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
