Just put a pineapple on BB for the Coleman. Paying $21!

Preseason last year I put on a multi. Dees flag, petracca Brownlow, brown Coleman. Massive odds.

20 minutes latest news came out about Brown's knee.

    Any major injuries? 

    May went off and never came back, but apparently was on the bench getting a massage, so maybe just tightness? 

    Hopefully we get an update on Salem soon.

    Nice little cameo by Weideman in the ruck.

    I think Ben Brown was the only player who crumbed a goal which to me was the only disappointing aspect.

    Other than that great effort.

    Perhaps Salem for BOG

    remember when we used to be the side that said 'hey, we kicked 6 goals against the reigning premier in a first-up practice game - that's not so bad!' 😈

    I got him at $26 a couple of weeks ago.  Waaay overs for a bloke that has previously finished runner up, has kicked 60+ goals three years in a row and now has the AFL's best midfield delivering it to him.

    Worth a punt for sure.

    BoG for me was Clarry.  Very powerful display.

    Most pleasing was Joel Smith.  Not sure if he was beaten once and disposed of the ball very well.  Really starting to use his supreme athletic gifts well.  Even with Petty out, picking our defenders for round 1 will be a nightmare.

    The blue and white was vertical today - horizontal in the PF, though I guess the Cats lying down makes them look vertical

    Statement game, there is no premiership hangover there. that was a hungry and ruthless team, little bit of rust, but geez we're going to be tough to beat again.

    Is he a swinger? gee there is one for the books.

    I know it’s a long season but a lot of the boys will know that if they get dropped they may not get back into the side again. Particularly towards the pointy end of the year.

    This is what every good team wants - huge competition for spots 

    Don't perform and you will be out - no easy way back if your replacement takes their chance

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
