Looking pretty impressive right now.

Nearly 5 goals up near the end of the first half.

Mr Morton, care to make a call on this one?

For mine... I have no confidence.

I have faith that Worsfold will be able to tank his way out of this lead. Unfortunately.

Half time and it's the Eagles 8.6.54 leading Essendon 4.1.25.

Essendon has, the past two weeks, had everything to play for, against two crap, bottom of the ladder teams, and blew it last week and are blowing it this week. Weird.

They'll try their best to tank, but it's going to be hard given how many top players Essendon are missing.

Still, after watching Richmond today, there is no way they are losing to them at home in Round 22. Tanking or no tanking.

If we nearly beat Richmond on a neutral ground while pulling the biggest tank tactics of all time, West Coast will surely beat them. Surely!

If West Coast win, we will certainly get Scully unless we go past the 16.5 mark. If that happens, pick 1 goes to the team on the bottom, which could be Freo. So it's not a certainty, but if West Coast win it helps.

And here come the Bombers.....

Worsfold you make me sick.

Eagles win.

Kiss goodbye to a couple of top 5 picks. LOL

Posted

GO WEST COAST! Get there!!!

oh, I can't believe this is happening... I tipped them but it was more out of desperate hope...

We can now comfortably beat Freo and then relax for the following weeks (although I'll never trust Carlton)

THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF THE DEMONS' SEASON FOR ME.

Justification.

27 points.

Wow. Weirdest day of footy I think I've ever experienced.

Posted

What a massive step towards picks 1 and 2 today was. I can't believe West Coast actually got up - I was convinced they'd go winless for the rest of the year. If Freo can somehow find a win at home in the next four weeks then 1 and 2 should be ours. Bring on the end of this rubbish.

You guys forgetting the Eagles played in 2 GF,s not long ago

Their current side has quite a few premiership players still

Both Port and WCE IMO are playing below their capabilities

Both are quite capable of beating the Cats

Posted

A weird week end for sure - tipped 7 (Hawks let me down) but the Weagles was a left field one to make up some tips on the leaders and they have delivered us the goods - well and trully. Still feel hollow from this afternoon.

What a great day for the MFC

I am not sure it is a great day. The cost to Melbourne may be greater than the benefits of the priority picks. I wounder how many kids and sponsors lost faith in the club today. I have watched Melbourne lose many games by big margins but this was the worst loss for me. Maybe in 2 years I will think differently but I felt ashamed that I applauded Richmond today.

I don't know you & I have no intention of trying to be insulting.

But your profile name suggests to me,que sara sara, what ever will be will be.

Is it possible that you don't feel as pained by our perpetually losing sides decades upon decades?

Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to grow a power MFC dynasty?

Do you Really care if the side gets to 7th,,, Or top 2??

I think these are the questions that may separate some of us supporters, just what it will take for all of us to feel a sense of achievement from a lifetime of supporting the DEES.

Rubbish, any negative attitudes resulting from losing a couple of emaningless games this year will pale into insignificance next year when we start playing our kids regularly and start winning. Watts, Jurrah, Grimes, Blease, Strauss, Morton, Scully and whomever we decide to take with our 2nd pick with generate so much excitement in years to come this small amount of pain will be worth it.

Have faith, believe in Bailey and the club, he's leading us in the right direction.

Gee - what assumptions based on my profile name. The name I chose is purely because that is what I have heard in my 40 years of supporting the club. I have never seen a premiership and it pains me. However, what hurts me more is the look of my son's face when he saw me and other supporters cheering Richmond. As I said, I understand why we did it. I wrote about it in another thread. We had a chance today for Bailey to say "you know what - we will benefit by losing but I don't care. This club is about winning". Travis Johnstone was a number one pick and if we did today to pick up a player like him - I will be even sadder. I support the club in every way - I go interstate, I go to preseason games and I go every week. I want a winning culture - what happened today in my humble opinion does not create a winning culture. Would you do what John Elliott did at Carlton to create a dynasty or do you have greater integrity? I know I do and today we lost integrity. I blame the AFL for tempting Melbourne with a bad apple and the powers that be at Melbourne for taking it.

Wow. That's two from two for you...

Listen, I'm off down the TAB t make some bets, do you have anything to say about next weekends match? I'll cut you in?

People are saying it's a big day for MFC, but it's not done yet. We may now be in the box seat, but there's 4 games left, and strange things happen in footy.

Dean is going to cop it in the papers tomorrow.

    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

    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.

    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.
