If we can hold Brisbane to 27 goals we can consider it a win. 

 

Clarry's been quiet too. We appear to be half arsed in our tackling. Hope they get their act together in the next couple of weeks.

 

Guys it’s ok. We are handballing it a bazillion more times than kicking... it’s all good!

    Only positives so far are Hunt and Petracca playing to their strengths and having an impact. Gawn is wining taps, but it's not leading to any effective clearances. Everyone else is playing poorly, and the effort is non-existent.

    Hope the coach gives them a rocket and makes them have a crack. We're getting shown up by a worse team than us who are more organised and working harder.

    attitude going into, preparing for this game

    For what it is worth, just saw Preuss walking off with no limb

    do you mean limp

     

    We are playing like a side that doesn't want to be out there, soft dropping marks, its like we just want to get through to round 1

     

    Good god ANB is horrible.. can never keep his feet and just fumbly at all costs. 

    Hibberd is a worry for me.

    JLT melts in full swing...

    Not sure if you've noticed Sisso, but going back to early 2000's, our season proper has generally reflected our pre-season form.

    Imagine having to go to Amersfoort ?

    I've been to both Cranbourne East and  Amersfoort. There are an awful lot of Dutchmen there but frankly, I prefer Amersfoort.

    Lions taking this game very seriously. Dees taking it half arsed. Scoreline reflects it. 

    Is it for four points? No. Just get through boys.

    Started ok with their first 2 goals coming from Oscar McDonald being a total turnip.

    After that it’s been lazy tackling, poor skills, inability to get balance at a clearance or a crumb and the backline going to [censored].

    Why we are playing a spare behind the ball in a practice game is beyond me. Are we really that slow????

    Not surprised Brisbane are good. More disappointed we can’t string any midfield skill together

    Hibberd is a worry for me.

    I backed him last week, but he missed a handball, slipped over etc. He had a bit of a mare early.

    Possibly, can’t find it in myself to get worried about this yet though 


    Watt do you think happens... when players go into a game,  and play to not get injured. ????

    At this stage I’ll take my chances with C wagner over ANB

    AVB cheap shot. Why? So so so dumb. 

    He thinks he’s Jordon Lewis 

    Poor JHK that looks awful! wishing him a speedy recovery.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
