[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.

Their bigger midfield has bullied us tonight.

-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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
