I can’t be the only one so starved for footy that I’m watching this.

Frosty already doing Frosty things in a Hawks jumper (I mean that in a complimentary way Mrs Frost if you’re reading this)

Hill would’ve been a very handy pick up. Pretty jealous the Saints nabbed him. AFL app still has him wearing a Freo jumper ??

 

First half has been a classic pre-season game:  decent skills but plenty of errors, one team starting hot then the other getting into the groove... neither side worries me all that much though. 

Both will be bottom 10 this year.

 

Frost has had a shocker..! Not much has changed with him.

How good is it to see footy at Moorabbin again!

Also no idea how people can say a team is bottom whatever in one half of the first praccy match.

Brad Hill... what a gun.

It makes me sick listening to how much they rate him. He made that many classic Frosty errors. Kept banging on about how handy he will be. Also kept mentioning how he was top 10 in our BNF. Did they forget that we were a bottom 2 side ??

Taking my MFC hat for a second, I Thought Frost was good after quarter time. Certainly did more good than bad.

Not the party line ?

I thought both teams would've been happy with that hit out. Saints looked pretty slick for PS1 and had a good look at Hill, Butler, King, Coffield and Clark in particular. They'll be knocking on the door of the 8 this year

Hawks wouldn't have been happy with McEvoy going down but he should be back round 1 or 2 if it's a minor hamstring. Patton looked ok and got through unscathed as did Mitchell, that would be the only thing I was worrying about as a Hawks supporter at this stage


Went to the AFL website and didnt even know there was a game on last night until I saw this thread.

Their website is truly horrendous.. why have they gotten rid of the scoreboard bar along the top?

They also did not have any match stats available on their website. You had to go to their smartphone app or a third parties.

It's not only the media that overrated him, more posters here where crying that we were letting him go, if you never watched him play, and read the thread about Frost going, you would have thought we were trading  SOS.

An apt comparison. SOS was the definition of overrated 


Membrey best on ground!!  I thought it was just us he got up for. Kicked a lazy 4.

I hoped last year we might chase him. Very underrated in my opinion

I bet Hawthorn wish they had Oscar McDonald instead of Frost...

We effectively traded Frost for Langdon.

Methinks the Saints’ past players and supporters passion was about having footy back at Moorabbin last night

I cannot get excited about preseason games

I’m not a fan of nfl, but one thing they do well is not giving preseason as much oxygen - it’s straight into competitive games not this glorified training malarkey 

Quick look on social media and Hawks fans seem happy with Frost's performance last night which i found interesting, still early days. Still love the Frost - but not always for positive footballing reasons

They will after a season of frost ball that's for sure.

Anyone would think they’d won the AFLX premiership.

SOS overrated, a 2 time premiership player who played fullback for all of his career, but also kicked over 200 goals yeah overrated, I know we all hate Carlton but respect man.

saw most of his games live.

All I will remember of him is the killer torp in the Hawks finals match in 2019 at the 5 minute mark of the 1st 1/4.

We wouldn't have improved if he kept getting a game with us.

Good luck to him at the hawks though, but gee they are a seriously good outfit disposal quality- wise and I just cant see it for him there.

Think the emotion more about the return to Moorabbin. As a baysider I remember spending a couple of great nights at the social club there as a youngster. Was rocking! Not sure anyone actually went to moorabbin for the actual footy.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
