Unofficial Preview Footy's back! MELBOURNE v ADELAIDE this Saturday Feb 22, 2020

[SydCrow]

Throw lol

 

[MRB37]

Why the hell isn't that a throw? No different to the Jones one.

 

[Grooster24]

Throw

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Three or four of those guys are either past their prime or pretty close to it (not sure where we put Laird after last year's form).

If that's our pre-season excitement, we're in trouble.

Compare to how many Dees don't have playing.

Also add Seedsman too.

The point is we are giving minutes to younger players like most like yourself wanted... then you complain we are getting well beaten, by a more experienced side.

Perspective...

Mackay hug leads to another effective handball

Worse than Jones. That was one handed

 

[ams4crows]

massive throw, nope no free, Melbourne goal in a suprise to no one

 

[Scorpus]

Result as expected given the relative strength of each team

 

[GreyCrow]

Sounds like the only one who made ground today is Gallucci

Oof

What did you expect from him

 

[Dandy_GO]

Pray to god O'Brien doesn't get injured at any stage. We look absolutely dreadful without him in the ruck

Name them

 

[MRB37]

Can make you see where we'll miss CEY and Greenwood. Bigger mids can roll through us.

 

[Scorpus]

Keays > Poholke > Wilson

 

[hey shorty]

The usual melters doing their thing, never change.

 

[jenny61_99]

Hard to garner much optimism for the season based on this. It's not even March and I'm deflated.

Oh FFS. The melts are ridiculous.

 

[feenix67]

Ben Keayes... going to be something

 

[Southerntakeover]

Young team, first hitout, Melbourne nearly full strength. You've gone a bit early.

Early? We've been bad for years.

Except he's coming back from injury and underdone.

Never change STO

Ahh right.

No one but Mackay is ever fit. The massive intensity of this pre-season fumble around was a pretty big risk to McHenry. No one else on our list worth giving time too either.

What was our set up when (if) ROB rested?

 

[Murray2503]

Team for Gold coast:

Brown Talia Doedee
Laird McAsey Milera
Jones BCrouch Sloane
Walker Fogarty Davis
Mcadam Himmelberg Stengle

ROB MCrouch Smith

Lynch Murphy Kelly Sholl/Hamill/Worrell

 

[Redleg Crow]

To date we've had one of the worst hauls from the superdraft.

Worryingly, Port one of the best.

Geez, going real early there. Jones looks very good, and Ned was mostly injured last year

 

[NikkiNoo]

Why the hell isn't that a throw? No different to the Jones one.

Except Jones actually handballed it.

Perspective...

I'm not complaining that we're losing in the pre-season. I'm complaining that we have a list with almost no talent on it.

 

[NSWCROW]

Congrats to Christian Petracca on your " JAMES GWILT AWARD "

 

[Firewalker]

Mackay has more than doubled his 3QT disposal count with rubbish junk time seagulling

Benjamin Button type effort, it’s his
modus operandi and he hasn’t lost that ability at all as the years have gone by. Positive signs for Dave in 2020 that he’s still got it.
