Fitness looks good.

Fritsch forward finally.

Bring on the season.

 

 

Yep pretty good showing in the marsh cup looking forward to round 1! 

3 from 3 (I refuse to count the Essendon game as we played next to no one in it, plus it doesn't suit my narrative...)

Pretty much no injuries (fingers crossed for AVB and Weid)

Some encouraging signs, especially with the defensive unit

Gawny made a successful comeback

Fritsch kicks 5, Milkshake 4

We'll roll the Eagles by 10 goals in Round 1.

Bring it on!


Fritsch to kick 70+

Melksham is a gun

May, Lever, Lockhart yes yes yes

Langdon and Tomlinson brilliant recruits

 

Bring on Round 1.. no excuses.

 

Always good to beat those ugly brown and golds, in anything.


I’ll take credit for this stirring victory.
 

When I ran into the boys at the airport yesterday, my inspirational words to Jake Lever were obviously passed onto the rest of the group, lighting the fire in the belly on their quest for glory. 
 

You’re welcome...

*mic drop 

A good hitout. There is a lot of competition for spots on the flight west for R1.

How many possies did he get?

Match high 33 disposals. Fantastic all game.

Couldn't watch any of the game. A poster talked about how good defence looks.

What role did May have in this re organising etc. Same query for lever? 

Thoughts?

BOG for me just ahead of Fritter. Lever really impressed and Lockhart is a beauty.

Bedford looked dangerous 

Bedford looked impressive from limited minutes, will certainly give Pickett a run for his money for that small forward role if not rd 1 early into the season

Ball movement infinitely better with Langdon and Tomlinson running the wings

Wouldnt mind 10 of Bayley Fritsch

Was great seeing May looking happy out there and the back 6 settled

Lockhart massively impressive down back, great composure with ball in hand and should make his way into the rd 1 side

As hard as it is being optimistic about this club at times, this preseason has been exceptional and the boys have set themselves up well for a good crack at the season. Will have nowhere to hide and no one to blame if this all goes belly up.

Go Dees!


Defensive setups looked vastly superior to last season. Hawks might have got out the back once in the entire game. Lockhart looks at home down back and for me he is best 22.

Toby was good too

Ecellent call . Was disgraceful.

 

Not all perfect, but it didn't have to be, and we did something we haven't done in a long time, take control and run a game out! We actually look fit. So many positives. Fritter, Tomlinson, Trac, Langdon, Lockhart, Lever, Milkshake. Like what I see of Jackson and Bedford.

I think we'll beat the Eagles in R1. We're coming in with some form and by the looks of it self belief. Can't wait! 

WOW! Tomlinson and Langdon it is amazing to have two very talented ready made players extra experience to boost our stocks.

That is what you call depth. 

Jackson,  Lockhart and Bedford   future  looked good for us.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
