Practice Match - Melbourne v Hawthorn @ Casey Fields

[SaberFang 7,151]

Not what we needed after the [censored] news on Thursday. Can't see this doing much for team morale.

Time for a sack Paul roos thread?

[DeeZee 7,445]

Is Viney playing?

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

Great idea to choose Hawks as an opponent...

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

Yes but he sat it out in the bench in the first. Not sure if he got in in the second.

Huh? playing Hawthorn was not our choice. But even if it was, it is not a bad idea.

[Whispering_Jack 30,658]

Sorry, but until such time as they improve the parking and amenities, this ground is not suitable for an AFL practice match.

[Crystal Dees 372]

Roos has said an indicator of improvement will be how we respond to a run on like Hawthorn has just had,

Over to you boys.......

Just what we didn't need heading into the season proper, a good showing by the 'Aints, and a shellacking for us.

Wish the preseason had finished after last week's games

I think it is actually. No better way to sit down and watch video of where we went wrong against easily the best team in the comp who are pretty much at full strength today. Great learning experience with the new game plan for me.

That being said, it will be interesting to see how we respond

62 - 15 at half time

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Back to reality which is probably a great thing.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Gives us more to prove going into round 1. But yes, this will definitely be a reality check.

[Bossdog 2,002]

Saints....10.5.65 PtA......9.1.55

At least this is against the reigning premiers - if we were being smashed by Brisbane then I'd truly be worried, but the Hawks are red hot at the minute, so this is no surprise.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Back to reality which is probably a great thing.

in what way? It is a bloody awful thing

Now let me state right from the outset, I believe the Spencer experiment should have been terminated years ago and I have stated that very clearly to the last 2 Coaches.

Just interested in how the big Spud is going today.

i'm sure they would have both loved hearing from you, with all of your credentials and vast coaching experience.

Or conversely have all the confidence and momentum gained wiped away in one arvo.

I think both clubs organised to play each other, not the afl.

I might be on my own but I would've preferred to play a bottom 6 team.

Now well find out our truths

[Crystal Dees 372]

This is going to sound really dumb, but why can't I get the posters comments to show on my reply?

[manny100 1,595]

No tweet for a while I guess its no tweet is good tweet!!

[wattsjurrahdunne 88]

Perhaps they should have, as I'm FAR more successful in my vocation than either of those 2 failures. Whatsmore let's not even speak about the Recruiting Manager that brought him to the Club.
