GAME DAY (NIGHT)

[RalphiusMaximus 6,095]

On the bright side, Magner is a clearance machine.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Question: what are preseasons for?

Answer: sharpening up your skills for the real thing.

Neeld... What is going on. A whole half (quarter) of every single player bombing it long? Brisbane were at least looking for targets...

Inauspicious start, needleman.

Meh. Preseason. What a joke.

[Jack son 5 162]

[RalphiusMaximus 6,095]

HaHa! it's February and look at what is written on here....

It's the Bank Cup FCS.

In wet tropical conditions.

'Mitsubishi' Magner has earned himself a spot in my Supercoach team.

You're talking to a board of Melbourne fans, 90% don't understand this.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,095]

Magner and Bate are positives. I'm liking what I hear of them.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,095]

Why do none of our forwards ever take a shot? I'm hearing a lot of people taking the ball at the hot spot and passing. Not a lot of picking it up and snapping for goal.

[Buzzy 992]

So I've noticed Bate has replaced Davey as our 'quarterback' off half back.

Interesting. In a scary way. He does seem to be getting a heap of it though.

we were always going to get thumped by a fresh team in the second game....The first game was a good hit out..

Any injuries reports in the second game??

The (MFC) teams were nicely split between the two games. We will get a better look at next week V Pies! WYL is right, nothing to see here.

[Macca 17,035]

If we get up here it will give new meaning to "Winning ugly"

[RalphiusMaximus 6,095]

James Sellar has some tricks to him it seems. Could be a good pick up after all.

[wattsup 470]

and we are in front

[Buzzy 992]

Bang! Sellar shuts the cellar door (maybe) with a great set shot.

He's like Paul Johnson but better.

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

quick, flood the backline, lol.

Seriously!! It's only NAB cup and it's our first run against real opposition using Neeld's plan. Did you all think it was going to go off without a hitch?

Sounds like Watts will be lucky to play round 1.

Except "Sellar".

conditions dont suit him will get a better idea next week

Nice pun.

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

HAHA, we won by 3 points. Brissie with a shot just on the final siren missed, a lot similar to us in the first game.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

That was painful, let us hope that Melbourne don't play in the rain all year.

In all seriousness, the obsession with kicking around the boundary is frightening, let's hope that can be rectified.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

For everything posted in this thread... we won this game. We won it. We never gave up and, with a game in these conditions already played, we got the win. THAT is a good sign. Skills were poor but the conditions were awful. Decision making does need work and our talls will have much more of an impact in better conditions.

Lots of positive but special mention to Matty Bate. Worked his backside off in both games and looks like he can have a future in the midfield. Kudos to him for making such a hard effort to change his fortunes around.
