GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs Bulldogs

Featured Replies

Worst part about Tmacs performance is that Baku Khamis is playing on him and beating him

We have never had a poor pre season to only go on and dominate the year.

Beating the premiers not good enough for ya?

Far out, bit less caffeine for some of you blokes I reckon.

Harmes also cooked. Absolutely does no damage 

Really disappointed with his game today. Was he supposed to be on Bont? Just no leadership by him in there.

It’s a practice match right. Dogs seem intense compared with us.
 

No use tagging the Bont. He’s going to be out with leather poisoning 


Red and blue witches hats. 

 

All signs point to Omg.

Yea sure have stars out but all these blokes need to be able to play. Skills and intent missing by way too many.

Tmac should probably hang up the boots as should a few of these umps.


Every Dogs player must have a free by now.

What are Spargo's positives?

We’ve started with all the tenacity of a wet blanket. Midfield is absolutely getting destroyed and nice to see Bontempelli alone again. 

I thought we learnt last year when he destroyed us. Without Clarry and JV, our midfield is struggling v Dogs. 

Painful even for a practice game. Quite a few mids missing today but the ball movement and clearance work is still some of the worst in the comp. Its still hard to see what the intent really is and It seems the players feel the same way.

Baker, sparrow, harmes, spargo,  Vandenberg are a big no from me. Depth is really really poor

i know its a practice match and we have personnel missing but its not good signs. can't hit target cant hold tackles and wont chase hard enough

 

One thing that hasn't changed 3 dees up for the same mark

 

I know its early days but effort is effort

The cream is very clearly rising to the top. They are destroying us in every aspect of the game. We look lost. 
Our skills are woeful. Mark Williams has a lot of work.

Hasnt been great but he chased more than many.

Makes you wonder what our game plan is this year. Seeing absolutely nothing that resembles a game plan. Cattle aside we should have some form of game plan or we are cooked as soon as we cop a few injuries

Ummmm.  He played a good 5 minute burst v Pies last year and kicked 3 goals ... then went missing for the rest of 2020. Surely hung on to a list spot by a whisker.

What's this learning thing you speak of?

Martin is a great pick up for them, can release English forward

 

Can’t see anything in Baker or Jordon to make me think either will be a player. Yeah, a practice match but for mine, they don’t have it unfortunately.

Remember when we traded him for SFA.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
