Based on what I saw of last night, blues mids still don’t defend, McKay remains incredibly overrated, Hill and the Saints will love the zip of Docklands

They play their first 3 matches there.

Gil getting them off to a fast start. What a surprise.

The Saints are not the sort of team you want to get into a shootout with, even though it was only pre season Carlton put no defensive pressure on and paid for it

If I recall correctly they rarely traveled from the QLD base last year either.

They play GWS first round at Giants stadium.....then Round 2 at Marvel against us being their first home game of the year making it that much harder for us to get a ticket I'd say.

Graphic on the footy last night had them at Marvel and the commentators made a point of saying first 3 games at Marvel. 

looking at the fixture though you are correct.

out of curiosity what was the attendance last night

thanks

PS I see the crowd was just over 10k (quite low)

A Thursday night practise game DJ. Hardly an idea time.

Saints and Carlton are both "run and gun" style sides.  You're always going to see big scores when they play each other.  The question is whether they can hold up against a side that puts them under more pressure.

based on the bits and pieces i've seen tigers are miles better than the filth and have well and truly put the cue in the rack to allow the filth back into it

they've lost frontbum, will kelly, de goey, and possibly maynard to injury

games are too long - bring back the shorter quarters ?

Agree. Richmond look primed. They always get such an even contribution across the board.

Mason Cox looked dangerous. Kicked 3 and could have had more if he held all his marks. If he can produce some consistent form he’s a nightmare match-up for anyone.

I guess the thing is he’s consistently inconsistent; has runs of form and has never maintained the rage for a full season

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
