Sylvia has done nothing =(

Well, I guess he won't be playing round 1 then!

Maybe he has the sulks.

 

the only reason i am still listening is that it would be an absolute joy to hear these muppets cry if we happened to pinch this
 

The unwashed booing the umpires.... Why do I choose to live here in Adelaide?? Unfortunately Melbourne don't pay my wage.... Although, maybe they should.... I am more passionate than some who are already on benefits from the MFC


Better quater by Melbourne. Trengove not getting a sniff is just a little concerning, still waiting for him to really dominate a game.

Clearly we have to sack the coach, the conditioning staff, the recruiting manager (sorry, gone already), the captains, vice captains, any players picked anywhere in the top 30 of their draft, the club doctor, receptionist, cleaners et al.

We need a clean start.

Why the stress? It's only a practice match.

It is a practice match for BOTH sides.... One who some claim can really improve and finish near or possible scrape into the eight.... And one who most people around the country believe will finish near the bottom 2....

Which one is which??

Practice match or not.... I played in many a pre-season match during my amatuer career but I didn't leave my testicles in the locker room!

Footy is footy!.... People say we are trying to work on new structures..... That would wash with me if Jones was in the ruck, Jamar was at full back and Frawley was at full forward....

New structures is no excuse for [censored] poor efforts at the pill....

I dare anyone to tell me I am wrong.....

Still waiting for him to get pubes....

The kid is young.... Domination is a ways off....

hehe yeah the seasons miles away, plenty of time to improve....

I know you're trying to be funny, but why waste your time ?

You are old enough to remember premierships.... I have been to 2 floggings on the greatest day of the year.... I want what you have had so I can come on here and tell people to calm down when we are getting flogged by the bottom team :P

At least no one will now bother whinging about the commencement dinner or the lack of an FOJ sponsor -_-


I hope we activate the first round pick after our first pick this year...cause it could be a good one...

Nah it'll be the one after that lol

Wow.... Can't believe we are looking at getting a "Forever Out Jostled" sponsor

When will we take this sport seriously at Melbourne ;)

Our midfield are pretty average. Captain obvious statement but it is even worse than I thought.

It just never gets any better, does it ?

Maybe the ONE and only pre-season drill we should try next year is "Touch" Footy....

 

Goodvibes made an excellent post a week, or so, ago where he succinctly enunciated how 3 or 4 players missing can have a major effect on a team's performance. I know it's bizarre to suggest this, but Magner's injury has really been crucial to our recent fortunes. As most have stated for some time, we have a third world midfield and it's still where games are won and lost. Magner's grunt and ability to get the ball moving our way has been sorely missed.

Clearly the players are trying to adapt to a new game-plan and it's going to take time. I'm not overly perturbed as I have confidence in the end result. But it will test some supporter's resolve.

Best so far Jamar, Jones, Tynan, Bate and prob... Blease. I assume Tynan will loose his spot to Grimes but he has really put his hand up.

Sylvia has done nothing =(

IMO he is the only underdeveloped player picked in this team, but for a reason.

I think we are having a big change with all the 'skilled' playmakers out to HTFU. This Will unbalance us initially.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
