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.....

Is that you Dean?

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).

ha, i have been waiting for tonight's game all week...just want to see the red and blue!

we are supporters....we follow the boys week in week out...win or lose...sunrise-sunset!

Not very excited. I find it hard to care when I know the clubs don't really. Will only watch if I end up with nothing at all better to do. To me it'd be like asking how excited I was about the pre-game warmup prior to a roster match.

Absolutely itching for round 1.

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

Hehehe you need a night out J, but i do concur watching the Red & Blue is totally awesome!! B)

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.

Posted

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).

Even that was awesome for me, just love MFC

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.

For all those that aren't excited and don't really care, I suppose you'll be watching something else then ???

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
