CBDees

Have they named a team for today’s practice match at Ikon Park?

I suppose it is expecting too much to have any media?

How do we react if he kicks a goal?

He kicked a goal. I was happy for him and Hannam to get a chance with the Bullsogs.

Is either game going to feature on Casey Radio?

wishful thinking or I may be in denial but what if the club has asked Luke to wait until seasons end ?

We may have some moves in the air that will allow us to pay the price he is happy with - 

it may see a player retired or moved on to make room . 

 

The Weed?

Says it all! Saints are pretenders.

Where was Daw in the second quarter? 🤔

When was the last time we have 100 points kicked on us.

Weid coming on now… lol what?! He should have started. 

He kicked 4 in the VFL today in half a game.

He’s not being impartial he’s been overly negative. It’s unprofessional. 

Lyon tipped against us 90% of the time up until mid last year instead of being patriotic. His success in the footy tipping was more important to him instead of showing loyalty to the boys. He only decided to jump on the bandwagon as a passionate Demon late last year.

B. Brown and TMac our goal scorers! 👍

Can you tell I'm having a lot of fun with this?



 

No Geelong, but there is a Scott and a Senior, not too far apart!

 

Nice to see my name there! 👍

I was confused about the pineapple reference there for a minute.😁

I know a 20s a lobster.

Is a100 a watermelon ?

Worth a punt for sure.

500 is a monkey 

1000 is a gorilla

Just now, leave it to deever said:

I want some Kozzie goals.

Sounds as though Chandler mat be challenging him.

Don't have Kayo so am enjoying myself following this on the North bigfooty game day thread. It's very satisfying having our team talked about like this.

A couple of times we’ve been caught out going forward with turnovers because have they been pushing back hard defensively and we are getting outnumbered .

Melbourne's defence is hard to beat.

they've split us open now

Good reality check. Stops the uncalibrated preseason chugging off.

Not a bad quarter of football but we saw about 5 minutes of play from the Dees that shows the difference between the Premiers and Wooden Spooners. They are a class above and we saw it late in that quarter.

They move the ball quickly we were not able too

Melbourne too strong and too good for us to play silly.

Melbourne read the ball ahead of what we are doing as much as its about poor execution.

We stagnate we should be playing on quickly but Melbourne don’t allow it

Melb numbers behind the ball and numbers in front of the ball....

We are winning out fair share of contests but the Melbourne backline is picking off everything.

Melbourne with ascendency across the ground. Running with numbers, more numbers around the contest, cleaner with the footy.

Melbourne are very good at smothering kicks in close

How long till Round 1, 2023?

They are just out working us on the spread offensively and working back a lot harder defensively. There are a lot of lessons today let’s hope we learn from them .

We're getting crushed by melbs stronger mids.

There are a lot of skill errors, but most of those would be because of the pressure being applied by the defending premiers.

We just hemorrhaged 8 goals in a row and as soon as the pressure came we played like under 10s

Their last two games were an absolute dismantling of Geelong, and then kicking 46 goals in a row to smash the Dogs and win a flag.

Melbourne are really good

At the ground, effort is ok skills & structure the glaring difference. 
Seems an odd set up with the personnel we have on the field, allowing them huge outnumber behind the ball playing into their hands. likewise around the contest their positioning is much effective, better spacing allowing clearer outlets despite what looks like an extra there for us.

Enjoyable reading. thanks!

Any scores/reports?

That's what I've done.  Naughty, aint we?!!  LOL

Just keep us updated on the match! 😉

Will anybody be providing a running commentary from the ground (for those without Kayo)?

Massive last quarter from the girls! 👏👏👏

I actually think he'll surprise a few and become more than just handy depth. May take a while for him to get his chance but when he does I think he'll take it. Was touted as a future captain early in his career and I thought he generally performed well at the Saints when I watched him particularly in recent years. His kicking often let him down earlier in his career but I thought he improved that but for whatever reason he was on the outer with Ratten.

I think it's an astute pickup by our recruitment team and if he ends up being nothing more than a solid depth player it's still a win and better than when we were 5 or 6 years ago when our depth players were guys barely good enough for VFL.

Hopefully our VFL side will be 2022 Premiers! 🏆 Premierships all round for our entire list! 👍

Oh I think you will be pleasantly surprised. 2022 will be even better than 2021 IMHO for the Dees. I think the comp will take more than a year to catch us up, in spite of all the bluster we are hearing during the trade period from the likes of the Blues, Magpies, Dons and Cats. We will win more games in 2022 than 2021 and go back to back. 

Don’t forget next year it wii be 58 years since we won our last Premiership on the MCG! 🤔
