I don't care its only the NAB cup. Ok if we had lost I would have said its only the NAB Cup. But what i loved about our 2 wins is

Brad Green starting well with 2 wins as captain

Finally winning 2 games at AAMI. Please now can we do it in the real season. We did something in over an hour twice that we cant do in years.

Liam Jurrah! This guy alone will draw crowds. As I dont have Foxtel I listened to mmm and Mark Riccutio just loves Liam. He lit up the commentary box.

Hearing the boys sing the song after the game. Its nice to hear the grand old flag belted out.

The fact that we dont have to travel to regional grounds to play practice matches

Confidence winning those two games can help the players confidence

Waking up tomorrow morning getting the papers and reading about our two wins.

Just finished listening to the SEN broadcast, and even though it is only the NAB cup, I am delighted to have won at AAMI, against two different teams and to progress to round 2. A few observations:

That is the the most boring, passionless, pedestrian commentating I have ever heard. They could have been reading a recipe for leek soup.

Great to hear Maric do so well. Petterd will have to fight him for a spot. This is good pressure to have.

Matty Bate has also significantly raised his hand for a forward line spot.

Against Port, our backline seemed to fumble a bit - was it greasy?

My man-crush is swinging significantly over to a certain Mr. J watts. Contested marks, intelligent football and was a presence in both games.

I haven't laid a bet in 20 years but Sylvia will have shortened Brownlow odds now.

We have seen how far Cook and Howe have to go. But it was great to have them out there.

Finally, I heard Blease's name called out in a match. His career is up and running at last

I am not too fussed about how far we proceed in the NAB cup. Let's give the whole list a game or two and see how they gel. But I can switch off and relax now until the start of the season (or at least until next week!)

Very impressed by Cook, for a first outing in senior company that was super impressive.

Heaps of good signs to come out of that, but we were still let off the hook too many times by rubbish goalkicking by the opposition in both games and terrible kicking in the backline by the Crows.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
