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.

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
