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.

    • 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.
