For those people who are hoping we dont win (I presume to keep our win rate down) - why the hell shouldnt we win?? If the boys do get over the line, wouldnt it be a HUGE boost to the young fellas in the team?

Winning culture is what we need to start developing with this young side - not "oh well, we got close"

The 'winning culture' can start next year after we clean up in the last uncompromised draft for the next 5 years.

Anyway, most of our 'young side' is sitting in the stands (Garland, Strauss, Cheney, Jetta, McKenzie, Newton, Hughes etc) or playing for their grammar school at the moment.

A 2 goal loss at this point will be sufficient to let the football world know we have a game plan and just need the cattle (read young players sitting on the side lines) to execute it.

Go Dees - Building for the Future (last this year with less than 5 wins please).

Dappa after 2 horrible kicks from Bruce with his first 2 possessions he has been def one of our best.

Thanks c84...

What's going on with Robbo? I wonder, has the injury taken a few yards off his kicking distance? He can kick those ones from in close, thankyou Cam Bruce AGAIN, but he has struggled to make fifty metres twice.

Am I jumping at shadows? Or was he kicking from further out?

4 goals in as many minutes... That's going to be remembered as the period that we won Scully + Butcher... :D

Next year?? what a load of crock!! You dont muck with a winning culture - you either have it or you dont. You cant flick it on like a bloody light switch - it takes time - we have started this culture this year, must keep going with it.

A 2 goal loss?? You go tell that to the players after they have busted their asses for the past 2 hours!

Btw - the boys have to keep strong here with the eagles kicking on a bit. We must dig deep!!!!

I was ready to praise Grimes again, then he fluffed that kick and cost us a goal... still having a good game though! :D

And Bennell, that boy has class written all over him. He's the second coming of Davey.

Let's hope Rivers and Frawley are good to go against Hawthorn, or that will turn into one ugly game.

2 guys off injured + heaps of running + young legs = spirited loss. Great effort guys, sad we were so cruelled by injury early. We look great when we're up and going.

On another note;

When is Petterd going to stop getting a free ride. Has about the same output as Isaac Weetra. Does nothing week after week, compare him to Maric or Bennel, he just is not natural at finding the footy.

We look knackered at the end of that quarter.

And who could blame them? PJ has been run into the ground. After holding his own against the best big man in the comp, sounds like he's stuffed now.

Given that we're at Subi, have as many injuries as we do, and are playing as young as we are, with only one ruckman in the side, I'm impressed...

By the way, we're winning the disposals comfortably, and we have nearly twice the tackles... Wow.

Some tired play at the end of that quarter. Not sure we will have the legs in the last.

Bennel looking great. Jones going well and morton and davey should take every kick in!!!

PJ is doing really well in the ruck also martin lurks very well.

Dunn getting smashed by hunter, and again didn't go back hard enough and the eagles player marked.

Please don't try and tell me we already have a winning culture!! Perhaps you should check out the results section on the AFL website for the games we have played this year just in case.

Can YOU and all your followers put your emotions and instant gratification aside and have a F$%*g look at the BIG PICTURE for a change...and even to Dean Bailey (in last weeks press conference) where he said "we are still building the list". Personally I would prefer to build 'the list' with the BEST possible players not the 'also rans'.

Before you reply with some emotionally driven dribble ask yourself this question.

Would you prefer to finish the season with a win at Subiaco oval or the first TWO picks in the National Draft? ......I know which one will do more for the future of the club... do you?

Go Dees - Building for the Future.

It has all come down to disposal and decision making today. Too many times we work so hard to win the football and we just turn it over again and again. It's either going forward and missing targets, or kicks coming out of the backline!! Once we eliminate these we will start winning football games on a regular basis. Until then, however, we will always struggle!

We have worked very hard today though, I'm just holding out for the day when it "clicks"!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
