    [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.

    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.

    What was the free kick against Langdon for ? (Watching on mute)

    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: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
