Baker in a different role was worth a go but the backline isn’t it. Half forward next (at Casey)

    Jordon stiff. Free kick was rubbish and we’ve got away with walking up as we returned the ball for years. Viney is Viney. 

    jordon wasn't stiff, jordon was dumb

    that's exactly why the 'time wasting' rule came in

    Wasnt stuff. Was told twice to hand the ball back


    If Carlton had a forward line (aside from Mackay) they might do some damage this year. But they’ll be 9-10th I’d say. Defence is average too

    got The making of a good midfield though

    Carlton very scatter gun. Look a bit like Melbourne 2018. Could cause damage this year.

     

    Fritsch again goes to ground laying an ineffective tackle.

    What is up with him? Dees need to take the finger out - serious attitude issues.

    Credit to Carlton though - they'll make finals based on this.

    We look pretty flat, disorganised with less numbers at the contest. Lucky it’s just a practice match!

    Sure but it’s a new rule and preseason, someone has to stuff up so the others have seen it

    Being absolutely reamed by the umps I'd say.

    Yep but we are looking very ordinary

    Pretty insipid training run I must say. I get we have no back half but I’d expect some pressure around the ball at least.

    Our big guns are a bit off and we’re mucking around with it inside 50. Plus the backline is the backline.

    Nothing too concerning so far, really it’s the result of winning a game by 80 points. 
     

    Advice for the inside 50’s is take the easy ones.

    Advice for the backline is stick more defensive then worry about rebound or intercepting.

    Am I watching the same game as you blokes we had almost double the inside 50s and got unlucky a few times they aren’t even close to on top.

    Remember the last time we lost a pre season game? 
     

    Spoiler alert: we won a flag

    No Salem or May. Pretty much doing ok. Only downside I can see is we are susceptible to a crumber. Hibberd usually fixes that quick smart so he is our biggest loss. 

    If the new interpretations are anything to go by scrap them. The umpires have killed us.

    Every bounce going their way so far. Agreed.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
