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

What's more, we have to start the season at full fitness to try to get the jump on WCE and GWS, who have had less preparation time and, in WC's case, injuries to key players over the preseason.  All of the top 4 from 2018 started sluggishly in 2019, hopefully we can take advantage of playing two very good teams early, whilst they're a few weeks off their best football.

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

Seriously, it's a compliment.

I am only pessimistic when the Club is a disgrace to itself. 
sadly that has been often, I actually get more angry when supporters get stuck into me for it!!!

I want to win Finals, always have  

I think the Club is serious this year  

Last year may be a positive force that has woken The Demon  

compliment accepted :)

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. 

Thanks. I taped the game last night. Will now delete.

The result of the day was the Suns’ big win over the Crows which saw them catapult to the head of the JLT/Marsh Community Series ladder. The Demons now can’t win the competition.

^ If the Suns keep this up someone else will own the wooden spoon.  Early contenders:  Carlton, Adelaide or even Sydney...?

Carlton will improve this year LH but it could easily be one of the other two. My guess the Crows but that maybe because I hate them with rare intensidy.

Throw Freo in there as well. Swans, Suns, Crows, Blues, Dockers and Hawks would be my tip for bottom 6, Can raffle the order. In saying that, they are all more than capable of challenging teams on their day.

Swans seem to have embraced the “we are in a rebuild” mentality which should lock them in for close to the wooden spoon. Carlton looked truly awful against Freo but were missing a few and will get better throughout the year.

Anyone see the incident between J Cameron and Lambert today? Lambert was left concussed after he copped a knee to the head. Some debate whether it was intentional or accidental.

Contact from his knee to the Richmond player - definitely intentional.

Cameron wanting to make contact with his head - doubtful.

Carlton are a one man team. If they show as little as they have in the preseason then they’re in a spot of bother.

Yep.  And it's glorious.

Not to mention that two of their other better players in Murphy and Simpson are in twilight of their careers as well.  Happy for them to be a bottom four team for the next decade.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
