Gawn really struggled that quarter, and with the kicks he had they we shockers. Doesn't seem to be the sort of game to suit Toumpas. Tmac getting involved, but his disposal is average.

So what sort of game would suit Toumpas then?

 

Salem isn't finding the ball as easily as in the intra club matches.

Intra club games and training in general are a useless guide to the real stuff


If we could actually mark the pill occassionly that might help.

First quarter was good.

Second quarter was the good old days which are obviously not past us.

This will do wonders for membership too.

Darts.

LMAO

I dunno, CB, that tournament at Etihad this year got pretty rough.

Man I remember when Mark neeld's Melbourne beat Collingwood in a pre season game. We went on to have such success after that.

I'm not sure what has to happen for toumpas to click into gear ... he just seems bereft of self confidence.

We had these really disturbing "disappearance" quarters last year too. Almost always the second quarter.

Then we'd play catch-up in the second half and come within striking distance by the end of the fourth. Sad to see the improved fitness has apparently not changed this little tradition of ours.

Spot on. Can't read much into these games.

It also shows we put far too much stock in training and the intra clubs. Nothing like playing a real side. A bloke who is an average kick will still be one when the real stuff starts.

I don't really know but it's not very free flowing, quite scrappy and more of an inside midfielders game Tyson, Jones and Newton loving the contest. Toumpas looks lost and out of position, yes it's only a nab cup game but it's a lot of what we saw last year.

Vandenberg on

Hogan splits the pack for a Kent goal

Nice


Gotta slow it down. Small ground, Dockers will smash them on the transition. Slow it down.

Ef me nice pass from h to hogan great start

It's not gunna get much softer than NAB on a hot day, if this doesn't suit him no AFL game will.


Much better

HOGANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

There are positives,winning the centre clearances and inside fifties.

 

Hope Kent has a big year. Quite possibly the most exciting player on our list. That goal against the bombers last year still gives me goosebumps.

WHAT!!

Boys are doing great, a bit tired just need to gel in FWD line

Hoges just goaled, you beauty!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
