    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!

    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...

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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
