Yep, agree with most of that 'joeboy', pretty fair summation.

I think Oscar was very good again.

Apart from that all I could add is...

MFC - too many passangers

Jetta - something desperately wrong (could hardly raise a trot at one stage, still courageous - anyone know about an injury? Hope it is not accumulated concussions.)

Sorry Joeboy, but if you don't go to the game (as you obviously didn't), then taking pot shots at players for lack of courage (eg: Salem) is weak as [censored]!

Unless joeboy doesn't live close enough to go to the games...?  There are supporters who don't live within striking distance of the 'G.

Thought Weiderman was good for first game since last year, Harmes, ANB and Stretch must be dropped for Pedo, Hannen and Fritsch. Why was Fritsch dropped anyway FFS....main out is Goodwin, can’t coach, we know there’s disunity in there. After the camp debacle, now he’s banished McCartney downstairs WTF is going on???

Weid was one of my highlights and his rucking was pretty good too. 

Gawn needs to calm his farm and stop smashing balls to the opposition goal side. Yes we know you are big and you win lots of hit outs, but just stop.

Thought Brayshaw was coming in to some form after 1/2 time

Also Lever showed a bit

Hibberd put his body on the line a few times and will be a sore boy tomorrow

Oscar wasn't to bad either

Absolutely agree. What no-one on tv mentioned was that it was slippery. One grab takes were difficult. Many packs. No-one on either side was soft

Melksham  Bomber supporters spewing.

Hibberd A A form.

I can't agree with a lot of those calls Joeboy.  Jetta played his best game of the season.  So did Lever, Hunt and Brayshaw.  Hunt faded badly, but Brayshaw had a big second half and looked to be getting his touch and mojo back.  Weideman took four solid marks, laid five tackles and crashed packs all night.  He needs to get his [censored] together when kicking for goal, but overall his game was solid and he showed the work ethic and appetite for a contest that we want to see in a developing KPF.  Like Brayshaw, Oliver really kicked into gear in the second half.  It seems to be his pattern to rack up 20 or so disposals after half time, and he added to that a massive body slam tackle on Dusty Martin.  Can't ask for much more than that. 

I will give you ANB, Stretch and Garlett though.  They were horrible.

Don't think you watched the game. Jetta was excellent even after he was kicked in the ankle, which felled him--yet no free kick. Even commentators saw this one.

    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

    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
