We are still SO inexperienced!

When was the last time we had the oldest or most experienced list in the competition? And when will it happen again I wonder?

I wouldnt want to be the oldest but we sure lack experience against most except the newbies like GWS who on paper we should have knocked over if experience counted for anything.

This wont change soon until we find quality ins for some gaping holes chook. How long is a piece of string is the answer i guess.

 

Really?

When has Buddy ever kicked a bag against Melbourne?

Frawley and Garland have always had his measure.

Yes but Frawley may play forward and Garland is playing for the Scorpions!

Can't see us winning, but looking forward to some beers under the great MCG lights and giving Buddy some constructive criticism about his driving skills.

HaHaHa, ask him what its like trying to drive a lap dog.
 

I still remember the last time we played Sydney at the MCG and Goodes played his first game back from injury. Give the knee one more week .

Subs have been named.

Melbourne - Christian Salem

Sydney - Adam Goodes


Good, Salem should be the sub. The onus is on him when he does get his run to prove everyone wrong. Good first up lesson to earn his spot. Not like the diva like debuts of Scully and Trengove etc.

But Scully and Trengove's first years were amazing?

Toumpas is the example you're looking for
 

Do you understand they didn't say center clearances? (only 1 question mark is needed btw)

Are you seriously this much of a tool you're trying to have this argument?

You're the one who started a completely unnecessary argument, tiger.

Shocking move, good enough to get a game good enough to start. Shannon Byrnes should have been sub, just watch for him, Turnovers Terlich,or Nev Jetta to be subbed of IMO


This is my fourth game in 6 days.I've seen the very best (Hawks cats) and anzac daline. Which was high intensity and commitment to the contest. I saW us against the suns, where application and intensity would have got us over the line. I just want intensity for the whole game. And yes, that means you JW. I really hope I can post about him winning the contested 50/50 ball ... Don't reckon we'll win, but effort will get us close.

Strongly disagree with you there. Bringing in a first gamer later in the match after the heat has died out is a great move. Lets him play freely, safe in the knowledge that he'll be able to run the game out.

Anyone just see Bernie Vince on the SNF lie detector test? Failed miserably :cool:

Obviously it's just a bit of a laugh (I hope) because they aren't an exact science, but here's a few of the nuggets:

- He said he wasn't the best looking guy at the club (lie)

- He said he thinks Melbourne can make the finals (lie)

- He said Melbourne blokes were better than the blokes at his old club (lie)

- He said he'd rather be here in Melbourne than back in Adelaide (lie)

- He said if he could have any pick of any club to come to, he would have picked Melbourne (lie)

He did say he loved Taylor Walker though, and that was unsurprisingly true. Go figure :wub:

Jeeeeeeeesus I'm so sick of kids being made the sub for their debut. Yay your in the team... Now sit here and watch for 3 quarters.... Bulldust!!


Watts in the warm up. Taking over head marks with a bloke wacking him with a jumping bag.

Saw him in the rooms last week after their team meeting. He looked genuinely broken. I do wonder if he got a spray for his arm waving and playing for free kicks. A lot of players look dejected, but jw more so than usual. Hopefully he got a spray and comes out tonight and plays the ball from start to finish.

Sydney supporters love wearing their caps at night, least knowledgable supporters going around too.

Says a man who wears his own cap 24/7.


Chris Dawes wearing the long-sleeves tonight. Last time he wore them we beat the Doggies by 2 points, so on that note I'm tipping us to win tonight...by 2 points.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
