Really like the look of the team that Brisbane’s putting together.  They’re still a few years off finals, but they have some real quality across the board.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Lions due to a family connection and am glad to see them starting to both retain and attract some talent to the club.

Hodge is a fantastic acquisition for them just as Daniel Cross was for us.

 

Despise stkilda.

    Next week will not be easy up there, and definately not a shoe in as many have predicted.

    They match up against us well and always step up for our games.  Will be tough, especially if their midfield gets their eye in.

    Gee, the ball movement from both teams here is snail-like.

    St Kilda rely too heavily on Savage's disposal off half back.

    If Brisbane beat us next week we will not make nor deserve to make finals. 

    Because of a loss in round 2?

    Nah.

    agreed

    i'm half expecting us to start the year 1-2 but we should still be right in the mix to play finals regardless of the result in the first three games (admittedly, 0-3 wouldn't be great but 3-0 would sure help!)

    Watts has scored a goal.

    Hand back AAMI & Gosch, plough Casey and sow it with salt, deregister the playing list and put them in the draft. Dissolve the MFC and offer our place at the G to Essendon.

    We have no right to participate in the AFL.

    Jack Watts looking good. Looks beefed up this season.

    Now Motlop with a goal. Can’t wait to hear and read about how brilliant their moneyball recruiting was.

    Saints will end up winning just because I don’t want them to, but they look putrid.

    I can’t thank St Kilda enough for taking McCartin.

    He looks ready to explode. 

     

    Not in a good way.

    Watts still the same. Always out of position and hovering around the pack.

    Reliable average player who uses the ball well but usually not a game changer. 

    Unlike Hogan he wont impose himself and simply get the ball.

    McCartin was probably the right pick at the time problem is the games changed doesn’t suit the big forward if that’s all you can do

    Petracca was the right pick at the time.

    The Saints drafted for ‘needs’ rather than ability.

    Saints steadied well in the end here, but at the same time, you would be slightly disappointed as a Saints fan.  Outside of a few players like Steven, Billings and Acres, they have looked very average.  

    Lions had a dip but they are still light on for talent.  They'll be pretty good in a few years time.

    He wasn’t the right pick, they way overrated their midfield. 

    Petracca is a better forward too. So he would’ve filled 2 holes. 

    The only hole McCartin fills is his mouth.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
