    [censored] Gary Lyon ay? Tell him to shut the [censored] up. Decide if you are part of the club or not.

    If you want to be then don't sink the [censored] boots in at every [censored] opportunity 

    He’s a commentator mate. Needs to be at least a bit impartial. Watch him at the GF and see if he is part of the club. 

    how about a bit of respect for a club champion???

    He’s not being impartial he’s been overly negative. It’s unprofessional.

    The biggest things we need to take out of this game is that the umpires will not tolerate "who do I give the ball to" BS. 

    We were the masters of that last year, and I'm not sad to see it go.

    It’s a good rule change. It will be applied too strictly in Round 1, but the answer isn’t to whinge about it but to adapt to it.

    -62 disposals, - 3 CPs, -14 clearances, -8 tackles. 

    Pre-season or not, we won’t be winning many games of football this year with those figures.

    I reckon this game is teaching us all a few things.

    …..

    And fourth, tonight is a more real game than last week (too many read too much into a genuine scratch match) but it’s also not a real game. Remember,  we got belted by the Dogs in this game last year.

    …. and did we play them again late in the year??🤔🤔

    They look quicker too. We have been chasing them so much. They look a bit rattled too. Need to slow their momentum down and get our forward pressure game up and going.

     

    Dropping marks, fumbling, I’ll discipline and not switched on. 
     

    Good thing it’s a practice game but if we come out in the 1st round like this it will be good night Charlie. 
     

    A few things to work on prior to rd1. 


    I feel like the umps are umpiring Melbourne per 2022 rules but not the Blues. Saad should have been holding the ball if Petracca was.

    I wonder how hard they were flogged during the week? 5/6 premiership backmen make us a completely different side.

     

    im looking forward to seeing us live in Round 1 😉

    I was at the grand final and the post match. He was clearly a demon man who loved the club. 

    Can't stand him commenting Melbourne games. Constantly negative. I'm enjoying the game apart from him implying that we are getting ahead of ourselves. 

    He has been like it for years. His attempts to be impartial is the problem. He needs to be taken off Demon games.

    With all the talk about our boys feeling for the members back east missing out on the premiership party, I have no concerns that the boys won’t show up for the unfurling of the flag in round 1.

    We’ll be mentally switched on in 2 weeks time. Let the baggers get excited over a win in March.

    Bowie's clinical disposal has deserted him early this year I think.

    But the Blues are taking this game so seriously, so no wonder they're winning. They're a bunch of professional footballers - they should win a match they're taking seriously against a team out there because it's in their contracts and not much more.

    great pressure last 10 mins.

    High tackle apparently.

    Petracca came in and got him high. Was there when shown on replay.

    High on Petracca who came in second.

     

    Lazy sloppy performance, players laughing during the game, only a practice match but pretty unprofessional I think.

    • 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.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      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.
