Umpires are [censored] atrocious 

It’s so bad it’s laughable… thankfully it’s match simulation

Mark to Turner surely

Loving the ferocity with which our key forwards aer attacking the ball aerially. If we keep it up all season, we can be a feared attacking club again

Came on here to check scores etc. only to realise the same knobs on here are still sooking and it’s a damn practice match. 🤣🤣🤣

How are all the newest Dees we got over the offseason going? 

  • langford - everywhere, get on him for the rising star; will be the best 1st year player we've had since oliver
  • linsday - smooth, almost goes unnoticed
  • sharp - busy and quick, runs to the right spot, impacts defensively
  • campbell - looks like an afl-ready ruckman, looks surprising that he's not played more senior footy

I’ve been happy with all of them.

Campbell- holding his own against Xerri and is fantastic back up to Max

Sharp- has done some nice things and kicked a goal. Has been clean with ball in hand.

Langford- smooth mover and knows how to find it

Lindsay- similar to Langford without the marking prowess but a bit quicker 

Johnson hasn’t played yet I don’t think

Thanks mate. Sounds promising 👌 


I usually avoid match day threads (for reasons which don't need much imgaination to guess), but I'm following this one out of footy deprivation. 

Are these established AFL umpires, or some newbies?

our kids are doing alright out there

I am expect to be shouted down for this but I feel like Billings has actually looked pretty good…

Awful turnover early in the game but pretty good outside that 


Umps let play for a minute after the 3 minutes ended?

Thanks pal. I like the sounds of that comment best player drafted since Oliver. And sounds like we may picked up some shrewd picks in Sharp and Campbell. Albeit small sample, but consistent with training reports over the summer.

Enjoying BBB's input as a commentator 

I wish the other guy would shut up for a while.

I felt like he was finding his feet a bit towards end of '24. Hopefully translate to a better and consistent season in '25.

No sign of Brown dog

He along with Johnson and Verrell were wearing the training tee-shirts in the pre game warmup which suggests he’ll either be playing in the second half or not at all.

Anybody willing to give this ageing queen a rundown on how Oliver is going? I’m really wanting him to stick it far up some people this year

Very nicely.  Old Clay is back…

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
