    That half was more of a stinking pile of sh*t than The Phantom Menace.

    Plus May. The other point that with May as the anchor, the other players back there have a reference point and can play and structure up accordingly - and do so week after week so they hone their systems. None of that on display today.

    First time ever i have been happy that nobody bother to post scores in Game-Day threads.

    Sounds like the umps are loving their new 50 m penalty power too.

    I legit didn't know Jack Martin was playing until the last 20seconds. Glad he refused to meet with us.

    It's a practice match. The scum are playing out of their skins and we are going through the paces.

    Has no relevance to the real stuff.

    Yep and we somehow lost to Adelaide last year when he was out injured.

    A 50 paid against Tomlinson for shaking his head and putting his hands on his knees.

    Why scrap them? They are good changes.  Speed the game up and stop backchatting the umpires

    The umpiring has been deplorable. The only thing that's been worse is our skill level. Glad we had this game now. Been too good for too long. Stop drinking their bathwater. Hunt has made sure he won't get a game for a long time has had an absolute stinker. Smith and Baker are not up to it.

    Say what you want about him (and I do), Fritsch is a man who knows how to kick sausage rolls.

    One team thinks it's playing in the Grand Final. Not concerned at all if fact we will end up winning this. 

    Carlton are having a go and we are not even bothering to match them Lazy football. It is only a practice match so is forgivable but they want to get their heads cleared up before the 1st round.

    It was a rubbish half aside from the first 5 or so minutes.

    It's like we came out and gave half a damn for the first 5 minutes to see if Carlton would roll over and let us have our way with them. When it became clear they are treating this match like the final audition for the part of young Anakin (keeping the theme of the thread), the boys just noped out of it and have been jogging ever since.

    The Phantom Menace is actually great. Recommend giving it another shot.

    Joel Smith on the other hand...

    Oh [censored] yeah.... tomlinson got done for shaking his head. 

    Can you imagine if that cost you a goal in a final.

    Pre game I thought Carlton’s outs were more influential than ours.

    However all are outs are from our backline whereas their stars are spread across the 3  units.

    That and we’re disinterested and comfortable where we sit as a side at the moment, while they’re going hell for leather to impress Voss (and they look impressive in fairness to them)

    Its also part of the afl plan to build up blues to get a big crowd and huge expectations.

    Tiges then thump them as usual

    5 premiership backmen not playing. Hollywood football aside, let’s get get a little bit of perspective. 

    What's the definition of umpire abuse?   Clearly "youre a fckn [censored]" is abuse but is it not ok to say that decision was crap anymore?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
