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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
