I did tell you WJ that this game would be anything but "Nothing Special" I do hope this weeks Review will be a little more optimistic.

I look forward to your next parable

I'll definitely try to sugar coat my next review (due for the Geelong game). There's still some water due to flow under the bridge before that game but I'm looking at ... say ... a 5 goal win. Do you think that's a big enough margin or should I go for 7 goals? ;)

C'mon WJ, that really was a "special" match. Good skills and all...

No tell it like it is W.J. You do it well, i just thought you were off the mark a little last week. A lot of work has been done at Melb over the past 9 months as you would know & i thought the club deserved a slightly more positive approach. My opinion.

Knock it off guys - the only reason that the match was "special" is because we won it.

The main reason that we won it is because Richmond were atrocious.

Does anyone honestly think that last Sunday's match would have been at all exciting to watch for those who do not support Melbourne?

Good performance from the team, yes.

Objectively "exciting", "colourful" or "special" game of Aussie Rules? No - not unless you count ending Wallace's career.

Not much in this world gets you excited does it Hazy? Rather Sad really. Considering where this club of ours was 12 Months ago i actually considered last sunday very special, I hope the team can back it up in the coming weeks.

It was not a special game in general though WYL.

It was enjoyable from an MFC point of view but that does not make it special. Would you call North Melbourne beating Essendon on Sunday "special"? You'd be laughing or lying to say yes.

The skills were some of the most amateurish I've seen in a match, not helped by the fact both teams fell into the trap

The 2nd Q showed a lot of promise to me 45. Its been a while since we kicked an 8 goal quarter when it mattered. The boys played some good footy.

Compared to some games last year it was great. Lets see how well we can play against adelaide this sunday. We are a chance.

Didn't see the Essendon Kangas game i was out, but the world tells me it was atrocious so i will believe them.

    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.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
