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.

    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.

    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 !!

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
