So this may be a bit premature, seeing the big game is still 3 weeks away, but I am getting excited!!!!!

i know we are all hoping for 4 or less wins this year (& we would be stupid not to), but lets make one of them against the filth. the pies are in dire straits, & we are playing like demons (pun intended). i hope we absolutely smash them!!!!!

I have never been to a QB before, as i only moved to melbourne last year, & with watts due to debut around this time, i am predicting an absolute cracker.

is it just me, or are others out there getting this excited already?

if we win, we wont get the priority pick. simple as that. as we play west coast, freo and richmond all at the mcg later on in the season. not to mention port at the g and essendon too. we could easily win 6 or 7 if we are stupid

I agree with you. We are playing decent footy (not great), but our finishing skills are not too far away. If we reach the 4 wins too early, its time to borrow the 2007 Carlton Play Manual & put Davey in the ruck & Robbo at full back. :blink:

I'm flying down from Sydney and can't wait.

I would love one of our 4 wins to be against the filth. Oh what a pleasure.

If we beat the Pies kiss good bye picks 1 and 2. In saying that I cant help but want to beat them to a pulp! Remember that sign they held up (Get off our ground) Grrrr still makes my blood boil.

As for the priority pick we'll need to be 1 and 13 to have any chance at it.

Does every thread have to turn in to a tanking debate? I grew up in the 70's when a four win season was a good one for us. I was 5 years old before I saw use win a game that I went to (and we went to lots!). I will take every win that we can get rather than be happy that we lose games for a "maybe he will be a star" player. If we finish with 7 wins then that is six more happy days for me this year.

BTW - A 20 goal win against Colling@#$% won't be enough. I'll hope for another one on the siren.

That's what I reckon, too!! I'm prepared to risk that coveted 16th position to bugger up their sesaon!

JJC, it seems you are having trouble quoting replies.

Either press 'quote' or 'reply' icons at the post you are replying to, then type your response underneath the quote. Then Add reply. It should look cleaner than it currently is for you.

The Filth's season is already Buggered. I shall look forward to spotting Eddie's pasty & pale face during the game, as he stated earlier this year that Collingwhatever were a genuine Flag threat" NOT.

I can't wait for it. Always want to win this one! However we do have to make sure it's the first of only three more wins for the year!

Only way we can be sure of this is that once we win our 4th for the year just make sure we play all of Watts, Strauss, Bennell, Jetta, Bail, Jurrah, McNamara, Cheney, Buckley and Spencer for the remaining matches. Getting valuable games into them before next year. hehe.

But seriously I reckon we're a good shot at winning this one. We've improved a lot and hey're on the decline. Lets smash them like we did 04 through to 07!

Walk to the G is going to be great, really enjoyed last year. Except for the middle-aged woman who stole my mates flag...

That is just not on...

But, Collingwood should be back to full strength by then and will have the acid on them.

At least there will be fireworks...

would be huge if this could be WATTS's debut

You might want to fasten your seat belt for this if it happens, and enjoy the ride.

    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

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.

    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
