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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
