What a sad joke of a “support / development” competition.

We have said it all before Mono and yes it is, it amazes me that no one in the media does an expo on it.

Can't wait to go this game.

I live in the Southwest, so Casey is, pardon the pun, a Westgate bridge too far.

So I've penciled in this game, round 8 versus the Pies at Vic Park, and most exciting of all as its even closer than Whitten Oval, round 13 against Willy at Willy.

I am out west bin man and was looking forward to this game at Whiten oval this year. Unfortunately I am in NZ this weekend, actually on a beautiful island Waiheke island. So you cannot help bad luck. I should be at the pies and willy games. If I can sneek off from the n-laws I might be able to sneak a watch if not then it is a replay.

Depends on their age and experience. Once you get 8 - 10 preseasons under your belt having a reduced one doesn't have the same impact as with younger players.

He didn't have one at all. Zero.

I find it hard to believe that Jack will be back this year. He has had zero pre season and we all know that players who miss a pre season seldom have a good return. Having said we are at game 2, there will be injuries as the year goes on and a fit Viney will be required. There were a few times on Sunday when I thought we miss Viney.

I agree that was a bad decision, but I doubt it was deliberately called because we are the MFC.

No but the effect is the same. There are 4 umpires out there and not one saw it, beggars belief.

TMac because he can take a big grab down back, can chop out n the ruck and Freo have good talls so we need an extra.

Sparrow the only out for mine.

I agree on tmac but I don't think it will happen. I think he has been told he is an emergency for injuries only.

Get Xavier Taylor in, even if he's not ready. Backline needs bolstering. St Kilda had 15 goals and 32 scoring shots - that would win most games.

We need tmac in, however I think him and milkshake have been told they will only play if injuries mount.

rubbish, bluey

the south east tunnel will be part of the community recreational aspect of the mfc proposal to be shared by the mfc and the community.

if you do your homework you will see that the council has long had a tunnel there in their community strategic plan for the area.

He is pulling your leg DC.

Maybe, like the players, they’re a bit rusty. Also, they now have a few new rules that they have to get their heads around. I refuse to believe that they are somehow under orders to disadvantage our club… that’s one conspiracy theory that doesn’t sit well with me (I’m not saying that you are a conspiracy theorist DemonOx, but there are those who definitely fit the bill)

I’m of the opinion that they probably aren’t paid enough, considering the level of abuse that is directed at them.

What about the saints player in the last quarter with the ball with no way out just ran over the line in the behind area. Isn’t that a free kick to the other side. Nothing paid!

Can I just say well done to all the Dee supporters on level one Punt Road end yesterday, the roar when Fritsch kicked that last goal, was amazing!! It's the loudest one I have heard for bloody long time, also given the number of younger supporters in that area it's what will keep them coming back as it makes you feel that your part of something special.

I hope/think we are in for a great ride over the next few seasons. Go Dee's

It was very good all day for “ROO” every time he got the ball. Even thought I am in the veteran stage I jump to my feet and punched the air. It's a feeling being in the crowd that you cannot get st home in front of the tv.

Finally recovered from the after game celebrations.

Not much love for TDK on here. He was up against the best ruckman in the last 30 years.

When you swap clubs for a very high salary you have to produce the goods, not on poorer sides but on the good ones. I have not seen him a lot but on the games I have seen I thought the saints were over paying.

I know the post game presser hardly displays the coaches at their finest, but I just watched Ross the Boss' presser, and what a rambling fool he is. Full of topic switches strange metaphors, blame shifting and no credit where its due to Melbourne. If his goal is to lead the press towards utter confusion about the Saints, he succeeded.

My drunk uncle makes more sense than him

How was King?

I know a couple Aint supporters and they've been broken men since losing those GFs.
(And if we lost ours I would have been broken too.)
Also headed to a Melb v Aints game a few years ago on the train and noted their supporters looked beaten before we even got to the ground.
As I stated earlier.
Tough gig being an Aint.
Even tougher than being a Dee.

They are very loyal, membership numbers are usually ok in the lean years.

Good as the goal was, my favourite moment was down the other end. Trys to break away with ball, tackled, actually brought down to ground level, stands up, little shrug,loses the tackler and happily trots away with the ball.

The speed at which he got back up was amazing.

4 hours ago, monoccular said:

What incredible confidence especially for a debutant to take that third bounce and leave the Aints defenders looking like under 10s.

There is so much to look forward to.

He threaded his way through players like they were witches hats. It was right in front of me my only thought was WOW!

Just now, Ghostwriter said:

Maybe now you’ll go a bit easier on Sharpie, @old dee ?

Even if it’s just no longer calling him “Blunt”

I mentioned earlier yesterday that I might have to stop calling him blunt. A lot better game yesterday but I will reserve judgement for a week or two. I didn't have a player list with me yesterday and could not work out who a player was wearing no 9. Late in the game I realised it was Steele. He can play a bit, I guess you don't became the captain if you are poor.

Just had a peek at the Saints next 4 games:

Giants away

Lions at Marvel

Port away

Adelaide away

They could very well be 1-5 or even 0-6 if they don’t get the job done against Port. I’m already seeing quite a lot saints social media comments unhappy with Ross Lyon.

It's hard to tell after only two games. For most of the game the 2 sides were fairly evenly matched. They have lost both of their games by small margins after kicking reasonable high scores. Yesterday the 2 million wonder was held to reasonable game. When you take on the $2 million salary it brings with it the fact that you have to be very good every week. The first two games this year he has not been very good. Let's see how they go against the giants who not been all that good so far.

Petty did once against the Tigers I think but then went to average around almost a goal a game. So I'm not sure if he qualifies.

I don't think Brown ever kick 6 in a game. I think milkshake kicked 5 last year. Yesterday we had 2 KPF's who kicked 9 of our 18 goals.

Just want to say that the Demon crowd was electric!!! Probably the first time in a long time that it was so fun and so loud!

I was in the northern stand on the Richmond end flank. When Roo took those marks and kicked a goal the "Roo" roar was amazing! It must have been load out on the ground. After 2 years of poor performances you could see he was enjoying every minute of yesterday.

When was the last time we had a KPF who kicked 6 goals?

Once again thank you Joeboy. For me you are a vital part of the Dees after game anyalsis. May you prevail for years to come.

Mihocek is going to be huge for us

No way JVR kicks 6 today without him. JVR is no longer double teamed and can take the second defender. His game sense and maturity will help Roo turn into a star

My word, the Pies missed him this weekend too. McStay is bog average

Those 3 goals for the pies and they win. Suffer pies. In the second quarter after a goal the saint defenders where push or small players around. Brodie step in and pushed one guy away and grabbed a second by the front of his jumper and said something while 6 inches from his face. I would luv to know what he said.

A perfect footy weekend. Pies lose and we win.

Well that was totally awesome. I picked the Demons to win And Jack Steele played a solid game.

JVR took control

We should fear no opponent, just play hard and fast

The Members will return…

Beat Freo next week and watch it increase.
