After the worst season in my living memory last year this damn club keeps sucking me back in to the point where I now care about how other teams are playing in pre-season games.

For those who saw, were Carlton genuinely bad?  I actually think their list is pretty good, especially that they now have a competent coach.

    Geez the skill level of rich v gws is very good and a fair bit ahead of the melb v hawks game. 
     

    Interesting times ahead. 

    Conversley I thought apart from the last 10 minutes the intensity between Freo and WC was really poor. Re melb Hawks conditions perhaps?

    I watched bits of the first half and their ball movement looked better than it has for a while. I was a bit shocked to see the final scoreline so checked out the Blues board and apparently fitness is a concern with teams running over the top of them in both their pre season games.

    They have also had a lot of pre season injuries and surgeries.

    Trying to think why it seems so familiar...

    As often happens when a new coach takes over a dispirited team in mid-season, Teague had a good start to his career. He gave them freedom, their confidence lifted and after a win at home against an over-confident and cocky Brisbane, they had a run of games against other teams in the lower region of the ladder. They won a few games and Teague was appointed permanent coach. He’s going to have a tougher job now with the clubs having more time to scrutinise the players and the game plan.

    based upon 5 mins of viewing, north look like they're going to be a thuggish team - so many late hits and physical acts to try and intimidate

    very reminiscent of the way they appeared to play in the scratch match vs us as well as the way the hawks went about their game

    That's what bog ordinary teams do - they go the man a bit harder than most.

    I can’t see North or Sydney having a significant role in 2020 other than as punching bags for the stronger teams. And Essendon and Geelong aren’t very impressive either.

    Tend to agree. If it wasn’t for Geelong’s home games they would struggle.

    Although I do not know you Andy, given you are the Demonland revered founder, Captain and Coach, I have great respect for your work. I think though the MFCSS virus has got you hard. That’s about as negative as I’ve heard you. Hope you have stocked up on loo paper

    Love FND

    Viney cleared. Bulldog given a week. My MFCSS is cured.

    Not entirely. We needed an Eagle or two to be rubbed out for Round 1 and a Giant to go for two weeks.

    And that’s all folks. Melbourne finishes in 3rd place. If the AFL was serious about this pre season competition, we would be figuring in an elimination final on the Gold Coast next weekend. Won’t happen.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
