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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

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

    He's like Paul Johnson but better.

  • Quote

    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?

    Except "Sellar".

    Sounds like Watts will be lucky to play round 1.

    conditions dont suit him will get a better idea next week

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
