Reminder to everyone that it's a scratch match.

We lost comprehensively to the Bulldogs in the 2021 preseason game.

Geelong lost to Gold Coast in 2022.

Collingwood barely scraped past Hawthorn in 2023.

    Yes true, but what a great time to trial plans to stop a run-on or get some composure. That is the concern - we just look lost.

    Lucky we’re not playing Carlton…

    Oops that’s next week…

    Still got Oliver, Jefferson, Adams, Hore, Tholstrup, Verall and Seston to come later in the day.

    Learning the cost of turnovers when we try and play more quickly and take the game on

    leaves the defense open (which it hasn’t been for 3 years)

    good to learn the risk/return and who we don’t want to have the exit disposal now.

    can we relax??

    Yep the posters that are going on about there's no pressure on the turnover, do they really think that's the way we're going to play in the season with no pressure

    Fox footy half time was a disgrace.  4 [censored] eating something horrid and trying not to vomit.  Brilliant television (not!)

    nah

    train the way you want to play

    also are now in front on the only scoreboard that matters:

    1 injury to the tigs, 0 to the dees

    Wowsers… it’s a scratch match. Richmond giving away their game plan, we are not. Relax.

    As Iverson said, it's practice you're talking about practice

    methinks you've completely misinterpreted what ai was saying - practice hard, play hard

    Wait until next week, do you really want players to put there body's on the line for a scratch match, and get injured 

    Anotehr poor turnover, another tigers goal.

    A bit of a pattern. I suppose you could blame it on our attempt to play fast football. Fastball is not our traditional strength

    I am pleased the Kayo feed here is not working !!

    • 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

    • 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.
