The game starts late in the afternoon on Friday and it's against a team cobbled together of the rump of the Essendon list so it's not really an exciting draw card is it?

I'm wondering whether we'll go for a strong side or whether we'll rest a few and go for some of the younger blood.

 

Roos appears to be sticking to team getting close to the final 22. However pedersen for Dawes for round one, Kent if fit and maybe Brayshaw .

Just hoping for no injuries really- hopefully they put them on a weak dose of drugs this week and gave them the bad thymosin, so they'll be a bit off their game. What a farce this is!
 

worst possible preparation for round 1.

why the [censored] should our club suffer for the mistakes of theirs?

what a disgrace they are.

Look on the positive side. Maybe we can blood a few players and instil into the team that it is possible for Melbourne to win at Etihad! Hopefully we can remove the bogey before the season proper.

That's what I thought after the win against Richmond in NAB 1 last year. Alas, St Kilda put an end to that thought process.
 

How about we win by 150 points and go into round 1 with some confidence, no matter how false that may be.

Gws, st kilda and mfc. Bottom 3 sides. And Newbold complains about equalisation measures.

Its almost as if the afl knew... back in october...

Hope Brayshaw gets a crack in this game. Wouldn't mind giving Fitzy a run either.


I actually can't wait for this game. The wife and entire family of in laws are mad Essendon, mother in law completely in denial about the whole cheating drugs thing and still thinks Golden boy is completely innocent of all wrong doing. Apparently it's entirely ASADA and AFLs fault.... Anyway

Few things make me happier then the Dees beating the Dons. Pre season or not, half a list or full side, I can't wait to smash them again.

GO DEES!

Best 22. Run em into the ground. 120pt win.

That's not as crazy as it sounds

And they play Swans and Hawks round 1 & 2 - two teams you'd expect them to lose to anyway. Players back for round 3 is what I'm assuming the AFL is/was banking on.

Divorce.

Or murderous rampage.

The wife's a looker and I'm really starting to like her so I'll keep her around.

There's no way Essendons getting the kids though

The rampage sounds interesting though...

How did she pass the pre- nuptial checks?

I am probably going to be taking our Japanese exchange student for his only taste of footy while he is here. Not a great drawcard, but beating Essendon will help!

And the two premiership favourites get an incredibly handy percentage booster to start the season off, further mocking the "equalisation" of the league.

Fair dinkum joke.

That's what I thought after the win against Richmond in NAB 1 last year. Alas, St Kilda put an end to that thought process.

It is a shame that we crashed against the Saints in the first round last year, after actually beating a genuine contender at Etihad for the first time in yonks.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
