NON-MFC: Practice Matches 2022

[Demonland 72,176]

Essendon get a rare win outside of the Home & Away season whilst we broke the Bulldogs.

Well that's the Dogs on the slide, yea right..

Wait till tomorrow when we get rolled,....DEMONS FULL OF THEMSELVES...COACH FAILS...WE, THE MEDIA ARE ALWAYS RIGHT.

A little tricky to rate given he came on fresh at 3/4 time which is a huge advantage but Tex Wanganeen looks really talented.

Jamarra on the other hand looks a mess.

Dogs moved the ball crisply in the first half with their big guns in and Naughton looked incredibly hard to stop.

Essendon are handy and well drilled. Looked like 2 finals teams who have had good summers.

Essendon still look like a momentum team. Will be very handy on their day but were often ball watching/plodding in defence. Media pumping up Perkins and Cox post game. Perkins is understandable but Cox is just so meh. 
Dogs looking pretty much the same as last year.

peptides should have been a regular finals side for the last several years given their age profile and list demographic

i'm expecting them to be in that clutch of teams 5-12, depending upon injury and form of key players

[brendan 3,437]

St Kilda look horrible 

[dazzledavey36 54,887]

Watching the Saints game.

They're in for a year of pain going off this performance. 

They're absolutely horrid.

The Suns giving Port a bit of a touch up, Port look close to full strength. 
54-16 at halftime.

Mason Cox is wearing what looks like sunglasses

They’re prescription lenses. The AFL has given approval.

Despite their 89 point win we're still on top of the all important preseason ladder.

How stunning is the ground in Albury?! 

[Cards13 9,117]

Lathlain Park I’m WA as well, Goschs Paddock looks like Modewarre 3rds ground compared to these local ovals.

West Coast in deep 💩 

I predict bottom 4. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch… unless it happens to Geelong.

one of the clubs i truly envy

meth coke have an amazingly strong record of being a finals side  - they've only finished outside the 5 / 6 / 8 nine times in their existence (twice in their first three years), and even then they've only dropped into the bottom few on half those occasions (and used that as an opportunity to 'bounce' back up the ladder quickly with good drafting and trading)

they've already been rumoured to be 'into' tim english from the dogs and logan mcdonald from sydney, have a heap of players due to roll off big salaries soon, and are, arguably, the wealthiest club in the competition
