On the end of some very good work. 

 

Good tackle.

Are we sticking to 90 rotations this week? 

 

 

Pretty lacklustre game, but winning form is good form.

 

Biggest concern out of this game is the ankle knack to vandenBerg, the awful form of T Mac and Garland, and our disposal all around the ground.


An ugly win but I'll take it,two in a row.

2 comebacks in a row....ill take that.


When was the last time we finised the pre-season with a winning record? '89.

Any scores- the local pub was unbearable- full of ufc fans,crappy bourbon deals and loathsome fat stupid people- thought I was in  bar in Texas.

A win against the odds

Take it though


Take the win but still some worrying signs for the season in terms of disposal. But we dropped the equivalent game last year against the Bombers and beat a pretty strong Port last week so I'd say we've improved a little bit. Hopefully the guys are at least building some belief and winning habits.

Two on a row!!!

just saw our supporters behind the goals singin it's a grand old flag. 

Only dees supporters would sing after a practice game. 

God we r success starve supporters.

What? Against the odds? We played a VFL side. 

These are games we would always find ourselves losing last year (Carlton, Essendon, St Kilda). Although it was far from a perfect performance, the fact we fought our way back into the game shows that we're starting to learn how to win against the odds and against teams we should beat. Scrappy win, but I'll take it anyday.

Biggest positive of this game, Clayton Oliver! I remember seeing Wines on debut against us in 2013 and just thinking "Oh [censored]!" Well I think Oliver has been just as impressive as Wines was. Even that last play of the game, most kids would have been pinged for HTB, Oliver gets a kick away.

Bugg was excellent, but unfortunately I remember Kennedy's floaters when he was at Collingwood.

Let's hope vandenBerg's injury isn't serious. Given his history and reaction when coming off, I'm nervous.


Ugly win is win.

A wins a win- looked windy in Crayburn- not to mention hot.

We're you watching. Our disposal was woeful

 Dogs should have seen it up.

Much work to do yet

 

Not overly impressed... Playing a Bulldogs outfit missing up to 10 of their best 22 and it took us into the 2nd half to run over the top of a bunch of kids that ran out of legs all the while we were missing who ? Hogan & brayshaw from our best side ? 

One huge positive for me is we r running out games really well which is something we haven't done for a loooooonnnnnnnnnggggggg time.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
