There were a hell of a lot of positives tonight. Toumpas, Kent, Hogan, Viney and a gameplan. I'd love it if we could focus on the positives....for once

    Not fussed about resluts - clearly weaker side v the Tigers

    4th qtr (2nd half v tigers) less upmiring involvement - liked it

    Boys 1st game up - so real positiives from the new boys. Long way to go, but I am still looking forward to the real stuff....

    I will throw some random obervations out there

    McKenzie great off ball - terrible with ball

    Sylvia - 1 dimensional - hope he can prove me wrong

    Apart from that hard to take much else from the game - if you don't have love for J Hogan you are not human...

    It being consistant with 2012 is worth reading into.

    Yep, don't want to slash my wrists just yet but it did have a familiar look. Trying to stay positive.

    ...knew write didn't look right, too many head knocks playing footy.

    Yeah but I want a win. Really want a win. We don't look close.

    All very familar

    I am tired and it is only 22nd February

    Toumpas, Viney, Dawes, Rodan, Byrnes in for round 1. Smokey: Kent

    Neither Gillies nor Terlich are replacements for Rivers. Didn't mind Dunn though.

    I can definately see improvement from last year. Really good effort against the Roos and we were up against fresh legs against the Tigers. Toumpas and Viney both played well and Hogan is a beast (WHY CAN'T HE PLAY THIS YEAR?)

    Helps if you can win the contested ball.......... we will struggle again in 2013 - boys are too young...

    Expect to be beaten in the possession count - we need to convert opportunities - hopefully a strong forward line will help us win games

    I have been saving it all last year and nothing suggested otherwise tonight.

    He is a good scragger, while he is a regular in the 22 we are going nowhere fast.

    Hogan rocks. Ill say it again - all the players Iiked tonight were new players other than Watts. Our defense is seriously missing Rivers and too many clangers!

  • Quote

    Aaron Davey....MIA.

    he was already better than the last two seasons for mine even though he was beaten

  • Quote

    Hogan, Viney, Toumpas, Pederson and Kent all looked tidy.

    That's the key, keeping up forward pressure...well, one key!

    We showed a bit. We look quite fit and a few of our new players were quite promising. Hogan looks the goods and Viney is a real goer. Watts and Dunn were both good down back and we ran the 2nd game out well.

    Attack on the ball was good and our overall endeavor was pleasing. Just need to finish better and improve our disposal. Thought our style of play was interesting - we brought the ball back into the corridor nicely and we kicked long and accurately to position on occasions.

    We had a whole bunch of new players in and it will take a little while for it to all gel. We didn't let the Tigers get away from us too much. Overall - reasonably pleased. That's a good hit out.

    Amen to that.

    Did I miss something, or was Strauss not out there???

    FFS, those going a bit hard, try remember we had probably over a third of a team in both games, who had never played with the squad before in anything resembling a real game, will need more than that to blen properly.

    Other than a bit of first half vs tigers, not unhappy with tonight

    From memory Dawes Byrnes Rodan Gillies Blease (inj) Jamar Evans Kent didn't play 2nd game

    yeah that is what I thought as well. I couldnt see any of those guys second game. Clearly we can tell whose going to be in the side for round 1 and it will be most of the above.

    You're kidding mate?

    192cm, 95kg and gets rag dolled by a 22 year old in Vickery. Weak as [censored], Lynden, and almost as embarrassing as Spencer.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
