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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
