Important to remember that Sheahan is a fan of the Dees. He has always been critical of them in the past for promising much and delivering little. Obviously a sign that he is excited about the future of the club like all of us! I always enjoy his articles and his view on the club

best line of the article:

Bailey has orchestrated 10 changes to the Melbourne team that won the last game last year, admittedly, the un-loseable game against Carlton.

fantastic line there. but still the afl will continue to claim that 'tanking doesnt exist'.

From all of the teams at the bottom of the ladder...............i honestly believe that we have the most upside.

And by a long way.

He's shown his colours this season. The last few articles on Melbourne have been articles written by a supporter, not a journalist, imo. Not discrediting his work at all, though.

Still think he is a bit of a tool, but good article at least.....

Not a big fan of journalists who support a particular team.... They tend to be a bit 'scared' with what they write, fearing a backlash for being too one-eyed or even too scathing of their own....

But I do respect him as a footy lover and I believe he has hit the nail on the head..... But of course, we all knew this well before he wrote it! ;)

I wonder if Mike just getting a little bit excited ( on the quiet of course..) lol :D

He wil have seen much come and go. Seems like he thinks Bails is teh real deal. Quite an early call on that really

Exactly!

A good article by Mike, bout time!

Its good to see people are slowly seeing Bailey's vision..

Kids, kids and more kids!

IMO, he will pull off the greatest turn around imaginable for us, just love the way he handles himself, and he has already earned alot of respect in the footy world, the players love him, the Port players miss him..

The best part is, Grimes, who IMO is our biggest talent, Cale, Maric, Mcnamara, Cheney, Zomer, Meeson, Martin.. are all still to be added to that side!

Its just so exciting, I really, for the first time in my 24 years of membership, am nothing but optimistic about our playing future, love the balance and discipline of the side, the game plan is developing, its all nothing but up!

Alot of work still needs to be done, ie, getting a young key forward by utilising the trade period well, then of course we have a top 2 pick, in the best draft since the SUPER draft!

Watts or Naitainui... omg, so very pleasing!

Im big Kev excited, thats 4 sure!!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
