Not sure, probably best to just break up with her.

I think* "wink wink" that we will be playing our best 22 for this first preseason game, so we won't see any of the fringe/younger players this weekend.

Having Jordan Lewis out there in the dying stages will do wonders when the real stuff begins. He was everywhere late.

I'm glad the Dogs have named a strong side. Falling over the line against the Pups again and then having the club and some on here cheering the victory doesn't interest me.

I hope they serve up a strong contest with their style of pressure around the ball and fast movement because that will really test our structural weaknesses.

Agree. However if we should win all 3 then it is is sure sign we are finals bound......

Logic 101.

And we'll be winning the flag when we win one.  There's never any in between - we are either doomed for bottom 4 if we lose on Saturday or destined for a top 4 finish if we win.

Not if you take my approach.....

One I'll be taking I think.  If we lose on Saturday then 'Watts would have made us a 6 goal better side' is what I'll be going with for the rest of the weekend.

 

Excellent.

And if we win, by say a goal, i'll say we would have won by 7 goals if Wattsy had played (and 10 if the umpires had not given the doggies an armchair ride)

Good to see us and Dogs have comparably strong line ups. should be a tight contest and will get the blood pumping again

Johnstone if kept in, will see this as his chance to steal an unliekly fwd pocket spot if he sparks

it will be great to see JT play and see Weed and Hoges along side each other

I'm predicting Tracca to have chins wagging after the game - the blokes a machine

Not sure you are correct about Petracca,    hope you are of course   But the others "Bring it On"   Go Dees !!!

Aren't we allowed to,play the rookies (Keilty/Smith)?

Nope they are, that's why Joel Smith is listed.

Another thing to note is for week 1 and 2, teams are allowed up to 8 interchange players with unlimited rotations so we should only see 2 of the 28 players dropped before the game.

Mark Stevens is a little late with his "news" re Smith.

Winning these challenges is largely irrelevant , but losing horrendously can be a portent of things to come.

 I think we'll be competitive and look forward to seeing an advanced game style and tangible progress from individuals.

I would say if we are ahead at any stage in the first quarter, the flag is in the bag.

Gee. This wouldn't be far from the likely predictions for a 'best team by the end of the year' sort of thing. Plus Watts and Tyson. Kent and Jetta absent but there are many questioning their future inclusion already. Pretty exciting to see Salem, Petracca, Oliver, Brayshaw, Hunt, Stretch and Weid all in the same team.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
