GAME DAY

Featured Replies

Davey goals, needed that.

We seem to be getting smashed in clearances. Something we need to work on considerably.

 

Hawks kick fourth unanswered goal to lead 60 to 49. Looks all over the way were playing.

chill mate. long way to got yet...better still watch the game feed with a glass of red!

It's hard to know what is going on when you're not watching the game, but the midfield really does concern me.

With the exception of Trengove, what else will change for Round 1?

We don't seem to be able to win many contested ball, if at all, and that is a real worry.

 

Another goal to Hawks. All Hawks this quarter. Bleh.


gee anyone would think you guys think this is a serious match! relax

I think everyone is pretty relaxed, but a 6 goal turnaround in under a quarter is a concern no matter how serious a game is.

Sounding like our forwards are dropping everything and we are relying on crumbers for our goals. Looking like a fairly flat pre season.

 

Three quarter time:

Melbourne 9.2.56 to Hawthorn 11.9.75

This game is still up for grabs, we have played one bad stretch, grab a couple in a row and we're a chance. Would be more encouraging to have the dees winning some clearances tho...

exactly what I'm doing... actually its more like a bottle now :) (thank you Peter Lehmann for lovely shiraz grenache combo....)

Hawks have had about twice as many shots on goals.

FFS are we getting smashed in the inside 50s once again?!

The most concerning thing is the disparity in scoring shots. Could have been much worse.

very nice choice. love a nice GSM. The mrs is watching lakehouse (some crappy chick flick movie). we both imbiding in a nice wynns coonawarra cab sauv. im hearing you - a glass only goes so far! only way i can get through lakehouse (along with the laptop).

Ok folks ... final quarter now under way

9:05

Hawks win the ball out of middle ... David Hale wins the ball and takes the mark - will line up for goal

I am going to bed...

Chill Guys...it's a practise game...

ANY INJURIES??

This is not an attack on either of the posters but in all honesty, i'm sickened by that attitude. Of course I see where you're coming from and no it's not a real game but we haven't won a single match yet... We played Brisbane, and haven't won a single match. And so help me God if anyone brings up those "games" in Adelaide I may lose it. They weren't real matches and the game against the Crows was lost by the Crows not won by Melbourne. I agree with all the propaganda... it's time to show something.

Great first half Dees, good luck for the 4th qtr.

Um, round 1 of the nab cup anyone? Adelaide and PA in adelaide. Short memory.

Penfolds Koonunga Hill here

Cheers chums lol

( and they call us Stereotyped! )

Agreed.

Double the amount of scoring shots by the Hawks. Not good at all.

I am the feeling a bit the same. They might be only practise matches, but we still cannot seem to win.

Sounds like our forward setup or the delivery is letting us down badly. Is Petterd on the ground? Have not heard him mentioned at all.

Short memory? Not so much. Short attention span? Very much yours. Read the rest of a post before commenting on it.

 

Obvious to say we miss Frawley down there.

  • 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.
