Any positives? We're only 11 points down 😀

Windsor, brown, verrell, all getting a bunch of it. Viney and petracca popping up when the game needs correcting. Koz looking dangerous, sparrow looks more confident. There’s a bunch, don’t let 8-15 panicky posters think the sky is falling in the first 3 quarters of a practice practice game get you down

This was the knock on the Pies game style last year, hopefully the positives out weight the negatives

Sweet, I look forward to us lifting the cup then

Hard to judge with a team playing first touch of the year against an oppo in anger, but for a team with 6 or so best 22 sitting it out, when it clicked it looked great, but if the balls turned over we get knifed on the rebound. Personally I still have questions over billings, but that could just be my predisposed disposition

Ok…. This is starting to give me tingles

See ya port ya pack of grubs!

Am I watching a different game? I thought anb was doing well

We should pick up Brodie Kemp from Carlton, he is 20 yr old. This kid will be another Cripps.

I'm just bumping this comment so everyone can see it in all it's glory for a second time. A thing of beauty. It has everything, complete unknown quantity, has never played a game, history of long term leg troubles, coming from a mid ranged club, 20 years old, comparison to a club champ. It's a future browlow medalist prediction away from being hall of fame.

it's chefs kiss

Steven may is a good decision maker, booming kicks, get's it into space to advantage and if that's not the case at least he puts it into a spot which is 50-50 when it comes to ground ball gets and 1 on 1's. Long May he reign. A sh**side better to the days of kickouts where it would just bounce back into the defensive 50 (remember that? it wasn't long ago) Now i don't even really think about kickouts, as i expect the mids to do their work and avoid repeat entries... because they're good? it's still doesn't sit well with me to say. Love him, if he was younger i'd say next skip

It's working, don't change it

People take football journalism so personally, and all it is is fluff. Unless you’re going through an avoidable crisis like the drug saga or...... *whispering* the tanking saga...... it’s fairly easy to avoid. I can imagine Dee supporters being annoyed at almost any AFL journalist considering they’ve been smashing us for 30 years (some would argue rightfully so, take the red and blue glasses off) but if you look at it subjectively, generally caro has sources, has references, has done research and generally doesn’t speak in wild sweeping platitudes.

I have a lot of respect for her, considering when she looks across the table she sometimes would have a club “champion” who has glassed his partner, a Coll president who sat and did nothing on a show where Sam Newman would regularly say crass, pretty disgusting things about her, and just the general disrespect for women in footy that they have been coping since the beginning of the game. Footy media is a boys club, and the circle jerks in the commentary and media are all about I played this, I won that, I kicked this many.
Sometimes she takes an angle which i didn’t hear the 400ex player mob of f**wits take at least that counts for something. Oh and she can laugh at herself which I can appreciate

IMO

Does it matter? I mean the only benefit which I am highly jealous of is if you are in some random city and they just so happen to pick somewhere close to where you live. I feel for the nt crowd and for those who would’ve enjoyed the game live, but as far as I’m concerned, lions anywhere any place.

and I have never felt this way about the dees in my life. They could play in my neighbours yard, I’d still be excited to watch.

guys, what a time to be alive

Ordinary footballer at best. Never going to hurt you. A great example of why stats are sometimes meaningless

 

I hope this is in jest, we tagged him because he’s ordinary? Good lord

great win, great club, off to have a skinful

They have already said Petty is coming in, so how can they possibly fit in another tall in Weed?

i think they play other ends of the ground... unless May and Brown can't play in the same team. Maybe i'm crazy

most Melbourne fans I see are the rm Williams puffer jacket with suit pants, 2 or 3 in a disabled cubicle kind of operators.

I guess it’s snowing in a way

Ummmmm..... that’s ron artest/ meta world peace

20 snags is off it's head, in school footy for me a friend of mine kicked 25 against St.michael's, and the next guy down kicked 20, we won by about 300 points as i sat at half back in my dcshoes cross legged on the ground (calm down it was 2000).

No matter the team, just the fact that you can kick more than 20 in the amount of time it requires for a game to finish is an achievement in itself.

25 from the middle by the way, but he's a cat so i'd never give him credit to his face, i feel like i'm in a safe space

I remember their supporters (all 24 of them) mocking us for a decade when we couldn't beat them. They had a right old laugh after they beat us by 122 points at Telstra Dome when Neil Craig was caretaker coach after Neeld got sacked.

After last nights win there has been a few calls on here today from some do-gooders telling us to be humble and tone down the rhetoric.  How about no.  If we slaughter North I will walk all over their graves and their supporters will know all about it.

Scorched earth approach, i love it

I took one look at the headline and I couldn't stop laughing for at least 4 hours!!  

Brilliantly original stuff from the Hun sports writers! Or should I say the Huns comedy writers? hahaha bravo!

With quick barbs like this, maybe you should write for the sun

Albeit a praccy game, pretty good hit out in the end. Great to knock off the tiggies no matter what the stakes, and a few positives to take out of it.

- Chandler showed a bunch

- Oliver showing he is still a class above

- Older heads showing they've still got more to give, much to the chagrin of many demonlanders

- Playing out the game and putting some pressure inside f50 when game was in the balance late

All in all a pretty great friday morning. Bring on round 1, Yum yum yum

If you watched his career to date and this game in particular.

He gets lost in traffic, just not good with contact.

That contest was typical not a one off...

...but you believe what you will.

Sure you were chirpy when he was jaggin goals from the boundary against the giants, but I wouldn’t want to base my opinions on him off one play ?

Just now, rjay said:

I think he just showed why he won't make it...

He's good out on his own but no idea in any kind of traffic.

Whole career based on 1 decision? My god

Demon fans will only ever be happy if it’s dees 120points to 0. 2 teams are playing

If he is to convince everyone he has turned the corner, you would like Tom McDonald to kick 4

 

I mean honestly, do people really think like this? I think your underestimating how hard it is to play the game let alone against the reigning premiers

im all for throwing the magnets at the board, but let me get this straight, you want to move arguably the best ruck in the comp... out of the ruck?
