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

Sorry, forgot how sarcasm doesnt translate well on internet forums.

Yeah.........right, this is only a practice match!!!!!!!!. So Hawthorn are taking it easy too? The season proper starts in 2 weeks. Is the way we should be starting??

Sorry RR, I'm bent over waiting for you

Watch this space!!!!

 

14 points up at half time,we switched off,no injuries is NO. 1 Priority.

Bails has obviously rotated the midfield and rested Jamar.


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).

Wishful thinking.

"Jamer, Jones, Sylvia, Moloney in the middle to start last. Need a big lift."

Bailey's put arguably our 4 most experienced mids in the centre to get things underway. The result? Hawks snag 2 quick goals.

I don't care what time of year it is, that sucks.

Try "Ball bounced.... Hawthorn win it again".

We cannot get a sniff in the middle with a near full line up. Terrible.

Sounds like a disappointing second half after a solid first half. We seem to switch on and off a lot

Ok, so we've gone from 14 points up at half time ... to now 38 points down half way through last quarter. So in a half of football we're being beaten by 52 points by a side missing their three best players.

I don't care what time of year it is, that's inexcusable.

At 18 minute mark of last they have scored 65 points to our 13 in second half and in second round when we play them they get Buddy, Hodge and Mitchell back. Looking good.


Attention: No injuries :)

Although... who did Bate get super-sub'd on for at half-time?

Second half is indeed a little bit shizen...

Jurrah goal - finally something to smile about.

... that and Fev at Casey when he gets back from vacation :lol:


Ah well that's it... We're for the chop, the end is nigh , sky about to fall and worst of all the bottle of red is empty... Life sucks!!!

But wait, there's more... God bless graysonline :))

Ffs folks , just a little early isn't it for wrist slashing ?????

Via Twitter: 1. Game has faded away here in Tassie. One positive for all you DreamTeamers and SuperCoaches out there - Grimes will be gold for u this year less than 10 seconds ago via web

... translation... The ball is going to be in our back line a lot!!!

Haha. Just playing. A bit concerned but happy to wait until the season unfolds before criticizing.

 

QUESTION:

How many games did we win last year in the pre-season??? :rolleyes:

QUESTION:

We didn't win a lot during the season either :P

Final score 102 v 75

Disappointing after good start, but no injuries. Looking forward to real season and I hope a much different Melbourne turns up against Sydney at the G.

Edit: 27 scoring shots to 15, and that is without Buddy playing. Could have easily beat us tonight by 10 goals.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
