Crows had that won before they stepped onto the park.

Never seen a team so visibly soft at the contest.

Pies were on fire too though. Doubt they could play much better but adelaide allowed them to play so well

Only watched the first half then switched over...

Jane Jenkins was embarrassing, but so to were most of the Crows team.

The game looked over in the first 10 mins.

A question...is Eddie quickly coming to the end? he's really struggled so far this season & appears to be off the pace, the magic has gone missing.

Thought you meant McGuire for a moment ???

They lost this one at the selection table. Walker, Fogarty, Lynch, Jenkins, Jacobs, Talia, Hartigan, Kelly, Doedee. Wayyyy too tall for a wet weather game. Only need 5 of those playing. Jacobs, 2  tall forwards and 2 tall mobile backs.

Also shows how hard it is to replace your best players. Both Crouches out and they are poo.

We had no Gawn, Viney, Hogan & Jones for large portions of last season and it was never mentioned by the 'experts'.

It is so tiring to have the 'experts' dismiss, ignore, not consider, comment detrimentally, castigate and flagellate the Demons, year after year to the extent that we have seen. Maybe 2018 is just going to be another of those years of insignificance for the Dees despite all of those obvious improvements that have been achieved. I would think that this will be the case even if we sit in the top quarter of the ladder come Aug-Sept. After two wins from 3 games, before the Hawthorn match tomorrow, we sit at third position on the ladder until the rest of the round is completed. That is rarefied air - well done, Dees! Then again, if we keep up this form ...

A few clubs drinking own bathwater this year:  Blues, Ess, Crows, Saints. 

All thought the 2017 season (or rnd 1, 2018) has set them up for a good year.  In the words of Gomer Pyle:  Surprise, Surprise, Surprise :lol:

Hard to know whether Collingwood is much better or Adelaide is in collapse after a horrendous 6 months.

Bit of both, I guess.

...and no prizes for guessing who is on Ch 7 tonight? 

Yep, Carlton!! 

Not quite a marquee time slot but a premium time nonetheless, with more Sat night broadcasts to come.  This favouritism is plain wrong!

And guess who is playing them - North.  Channel 7 may need to use pretend crowd noise as I can't see many supporters from either team going. 

Enthralling viewing. Not!

I hope it is at the G, it pizzes down and they get 6 or 7 through the gate.

ha, just seen it is at Blunder-stain arena.  6-7 will be overstating it!

Not too many games this weekend that one would say are a must watch.

The best two are MFC v Hawthorn and Essendon v Port ... both games in relative graveyard spots.

In the context of the cricket deal I heard a stat on radio yesterday that pay tv reaches 30% of homes.

The next AFL broadcast deal will be interesting.

GWS should abandon Sydney and just move to Canberra.

 

Canberra is a very handy growth market for the Giants.

Could be a good deal of corporate sponsorship money available for super boxes etc given the government business angle.

Lions sadly have hit the wall for the time being.

They got themselves up for their first three  but there is only so long young teams like that can pump themselves up for matches like that.

No wet fingers for our Gawnus, Re which way the wind blows. ;)

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
