I can't believe I'm saying this and I know it's early in the JLT praccy matches, but the lack of contests are making the game a bit tame.It seems it's end to end footy with no real oomph. Have I gone too early on this??

It is a bit early 'spurs' and of course it's only practice match footy but yeah, it is really boring stuff to watch.

There has been zero pressure in these games so I guess we have to wait for the season proper.

So far it's about as interesting as last years AFLX footy.

...and just maybe it comes back to that old saying "be careful what you ask for".

Someone had to say it, but at the moment the emperor has no clothes.

    I heard the commentator saying that Dixon won't be available in round 1. Nice.

    Ryder rolled his ankle too, not sure how serious

    Has the annual "dancing with your sister" cliche procession begun yet?

    If not consider this the first offering.

    Is that dancing with your sister, or a sister?

    Freo play the Pies tonight.

    Will be interesting to see how being back home affects Jesse's approach and his game. 

    Any loss for the Pies is a good loss, pre-season or otherwise.  Wouldn't mind if Jessie has a day out!

    13 mins in 1 mark, 1 kick. 0 goals.

    More than half way through the 2nd quarter and 2 kicks, 2 handballs, 2 marks and 0 goals.

    Head drop and chases given up on: 17

    I was actually going to add 2 dummy spits.  To be fair though, he did improve his output by half time so he now has 2 marks, 2 kicks and 3 handballs.

    Hogan looks completely disinterested.

    Nice to see his new coach sorted out his attitude problem. Early days, but he looks to have the same interest in second efforts now, as he did the entire time he played with us.

    Not the work ethic of a champion player.

    Hogan is past history. Stuff him. I hate to say it but the filth will be hard to knock off this year.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
