I'd love to face the dogs coming off a preseason loss just like us. Probably means nothing but I'd like it anyway.

Lions are my tip for our GF opponent this year.

I get my wish. For what it's worth. Both grand finalists coming into r1 off a loss.

    Bulldogs 23 frees to 15. 

    Ah yes, but the umps have cracked down on pulling faces when you get a free. So really, they're miles in front.

    riewoldt mouthed off and it took the "respected adjudicator of officialdom" an AGE to call the 50 compared to how red hot they were about it for our praccy game

    When Toby Greene returns, umpires will simply have him stand the mark 50m back by default to avoid the hassle.

    I reckon you can tentatively pencil in the hawks for the spoon. Definitely bottom 4. 

    I didn't watch the game.  What did you make of the Tigers?  Will they be back on top as their supporters are sure they will be?

    Hawthorn look like a poor side and Richmond middle of the road.

    as long as dusty stays fit the tiggas will be there or thereabouts

    it's hard to judge on a practice match but the hawks don't appear to have a forward line or an ability to manufacture a score, which is not too dissimilar to their season last year

    Hard to say given the opposition. You can only beat who you play and the final scoreline flattered the Hawks with some junk time goals. Richmond dominated them and if it was the real thing would have probably won by 70+.

    All these teams getting injuries by going too hard. Pre season is for going half arsed while still getting a kick.

    Umps clearly told to cool their jets after Thursday night's schmozzle.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
