There’s the dees we know and .....

If that’s what we are going to dish up this season we are in for another quality season. 
 

See what happens when we get some of our good players back but geez I ain’t holding my breath. 

 

Nothing changed. Same old Melbourne. Still my heart beats true. Why?

Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him 

Agreed back. Though most would have given Jetta another shot.

 

Haven't been able to watch any of this one.  Are there any positives at all coming out if this?  What's the score btw?


max gets man handled, held out of the contest and jumped all over. English falls over and gets a free every time

    It’s 97-61

    No real positives. Jackson looks ok. ANB been excellent. Not sure if you think that’s a positive tho. 
     

    Jones looks good.

    Why are we not running guys like Petty and Laurie and giving game time to Tmac and Jones.

    Defensively solid. Lever and May looking in good nick.

    Fritsch kicked straight.

    None of the support act putting their hand up for round 1 selection

    This is really a pissy poor effort today.

    Really depressing stuff. 

    Sad thing is this is only pre season.

    More bad than good as a big picture, but IMO the positives would be:

    - May continuing his great form.
    - Lever looking like he's about to peak.
    - ANB some good moments as a linkup player and among the goals.
    - Chandler managed to snag one. Chance for round 1 maybe.

    We'd be 100 down if not for May and Lever

    28-13. There’s no coming back from that. 

    And all the umps will get a 'well done' from HQ.

    its not the loss, or the fact that we have a few missing.. its the way we lost. Appalling footy and does nothing, absolutely nothing to suggest we are going to do what Simon Goodwin has come out and said today.

    R1 looms large.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
