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.

I was there in 72 when we stormed home only to lose by a point.

And again in 91 when the Saints stormed home and we held on by a point.  Lucky to get up Clay St alive. If we'd gone up Linton St I wouldn't be here posting.

Geez someone tell Nicky Winmar it's still February. 

No club and it’s supporters celebrate a pre season win like the Saints.

Remember the players got canned for singing the song after beating North last year at Werribee.

The Jakovich show! Must have been a memorable day for a Dee supporter.

We never had any many issues beating them at Moorabbin in the late 80/early 90s.

It was at the G the kept beating us (1989, 90, 91 through to 99)

I know it’s only pre season but watching Geelong get pumped by the Suns gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Who were Geelong missing from there best 22 apart from Selwood

Dahlhaus, Steven, Duncan, Henry, KK’s brother, Menegola, O’Connor, Parfitt

I have happily advised my GD the cats got pumped. I have not given up converting her to a demon. I need a very good year for the dees and a bad one for the cats.


Well, well, well ... the Brisbane v Port Adelaide Marsh match up certainly captured everyone’s imagination.

At the very least, it's worth tuning in to see how the Eagles go.  Obviously it's on a practice game but it will be interesting to see how they go, who they play and where.

The egales never play well in preseason, they are going better then what this match will show, and the drug takers will think they are going better then they are.

Round 2 vs GWS is shaping up to be more challenging than round 1 vs Eagles.

GWS thrashed Swans by 16 goals without Origin players: Green, Whitfield, Cameron, Haynes, Cogniglio, Kelly and they lost their 2019 B&F winner in Taranto 10 minutes into the first qtr.

Sydney were missing Origin players: Mills, Papley and maybe some senior players and they rarely take pre-season games seriously.  Nonetheless, GWS look a team to be very wary of.

Fortunately we are fit and healthy and hopefully we have sorted out the wrinkles in our game plan.  Players and coaches will need to be sharp from the first bounce of the first game.

I know we always say we shouldn't focus too much on the result when it comes to pre-season footy, but you couldn't help but be a little worried if you're a Swans fan.  That was a pretty poor showing and, while I'm sure they'll be better with players like Mills, Papley, Buddy, Reid, Heeney etc in the side, it's still not a good look to be smashed by a team who were missing more quality than you.

If the Giants stay fit they'll be a scary proposition every week.

Edit - took out Kennedy as he played.

I feel like a lot of the time it isn’t so much the wins in the preseason that give you indications of a year it’s the losses. 

Last year our losses we looked exhausted and bereft of life, Sydney losing the way they have could be quite telling. Fox Footy’s statistics had them going up but I think they’re going to be mid table at best. 

The Freo v Blues game should have been scheduled in an adults only time slot. Gerard Healy has labelled the first half as a masterclass in butchering. Inexcusable misses from 15m out directly in front, can’t believe I sat through that.

I’ve watched about 20mins and oh boy it’s a disaster. An abomination to my eyeballs. 


I have watched a bit,    nice day over there,   biggest problem they think its a practice match,   going half hearted, no venom no spite though I saw one late thump,     Carlton still look [censored] hoose    Freo   a little cleaner with the ball,   but in the end it a good hit out  and I have not seen any injuries.   Its February !!

Threaten to write her out of the will, od. She'll quickly change her tune.

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.

I suspect FND was being sarcastic, ie. using irony in order to mock or convey contempt.

 

What’s the overall standard of matches like so far?

i know not all teams take it seriously, but it is vital for us. We have to wipe 2019 off the table. 
Beat Whorethorn next week and a trip to Perth becomes a challenge, not an evil nightmare

For a chronic pessimist and whinger you have a charming vein of optimism. Congratulations.

Seriously, it's a compliment.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
