Because I'm a bit bored this week with us not featuring I thought we could get some practice in for the year ahead analysing our opposition.

If anyone watched any of the other games last weekend feel free to post your thoughts.

I only watched a Q & a bit of tonights game and thought the Saints disposal was really poor. Both teams looked average but who brought the standard down or are either not a real threat?

Interested to see how we match up against the Saints next week at Casey...

    Conditions weren't real flash tonight, but the Saints seemed to lack a bit of polish while the Blues seemed to want it more.  Having said that, Bolton will want to take any win he can so no doubt he pushed his players a bit more than Richo might have.

    McCartin kicked a couple but he looks like an uncoordinated 13 year old who doesn't know what to do with a body that's larger than most.

    The bit I saw (and it encouraged me to switch off)- Scummers had flooded back, and the Aints were going laterally back and forth outside 50 before bombing it straight to Liam Jones.  Reminded me too much of our bad old days.  Both sides were scrappy and lacked polish.  Lets see if the Saints clean things up a bit for next week against us.

    Collingwood no skill and love the boundary.  GWS are rusty.  Unappealing game so far.

    It's the classic pre-season game really.  Both teams missing plenty of their best 22 which doesn't help.

    So is Treloar injured? Where's he? Have I been under a rock? They look ordinary without his line breaking.

    Interesting Brodie is beating the GWS ruck, Simpson 24-9 but Collingwood can't get their hands on the ball.

    Thought Collingwood had one of the AFL's  leading midfields :D

    Bucks has this squad going nowhere. Also think they've got a bog ordinary list too.

    Could be a blessing in disguise allowing Bucks to get a two year deal in Round 23 last year. Haha. I'll get smashed for that.

    As Roosy says, they've got no brand. Okay, GWS are defending well, but they're still playing the boundary hugging style Malthouse was playing almost a decade ago.

    Man, How I’ve missed the sensation of watching the pies get fl0gged....

    its like a drug

    I have no interest in watching non dees games.

    Only GWS out of these sides worries me at all. We’ll smash the rest of them.

    We kick more in a quarter than Collingwood do a game. They have got a lot of players missing though. As they always do.

    On the face of it, Pies fans will say they were missing some important players.  

    Deep down though, they'll be worried.  It's the same old game play with the same old players.  Bucks is too stubborn to change.

    Does anyone know how much game time Chris Mayne had? I see he had 2 disposals at 50% DE. It’s better than last seasons 45% DE I suppose.

    That’s about 10k per possession for Mayne, isn’t it?

    Not bad if you can get it.

    I’d just get two touches and go home as well. At least he’s not greedy.

    Yep, I’d get out of bed for that kind of coin.

    Yes they are missing players, but they are injured, that's their problem year after year the same players are injured, but dunn is more happy that he is at a better team, and Adam is at a club with a better and younger list, does anyone else notice when ever a collingwood player is interviewed, they always refer to being at the best club, even first year players. They are all brainwashed there, that they are a great team and everything is going well and they are happy with Buckley, it's like they are all north Koreans, who can't say a bad thing about their leaders.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
