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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
