It's not a cup anymore so let's call it practice matches.

What have we seen so far?.....Well the truth is very little from any side, until last night when Hawthorn unleashed their full strength side in a serious hit-out.

The poor old Sainters were on the receiving end, and it has convinced their fans over at Saintsational that they have pick 1 sewn up for the 2015 draft:

The result certainly shows the real gulf that we face as well, if we think we are to be finalists in 2016. However, given the more than respectable performance against

Fremantle a couple of weeks ago, it does show that we are within striking range. But then Hawthorn might be another "bridge too far"

You have to admire the resilience of the Saints fans though with a couple of comments about the game and their clubs situation really hitting the "funny button":

"Good luck playing in our forward line this year. I feel sorry for Paddy and Tim. I've seen better kicks on angora goats".

or this one:

" The Lyon gameplan was like trying to shove a watermelon up your arse "

Then Watters tried to make us eat the watermelon.

Then Pelchen tried to sell us the seeds."

But the real telling one was this:

"we're melbourne back in 09"......so at least they can see that either we have progressed, or they have dropped to the same awful situation we once found ourselves in.

What is it?

It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
