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.

Come on down Weed?

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: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
