Melbourne putting the saints under some real pressure here....

Dees look really good..... Next season is going to be a ripper!! Bring a few names back into this side and we will shake a few top teams I reckon....

Jamar just kicked a bomb!

Great work KJ - keep it coming. I'm at LA airport waiting for a flight back home and its great reading this.

Great build up by the Dees..... Sylvia laid a monster tackle.... Robbo dribbled one for a behind.... Hit the post....

Saints look like they are not really taking this match seriously though..... Being a bit cocky when they are bringing the ball out the backline....

If there wasn't so much riding on this match for the Dees, then the Saints would be getting belted right now!! I have no doubt about it!!!

Melbourne will shake the eight next year (barring terrible run of injuries)

Saints back within a goal now..... Melbourne seemed to have stopped pressuring so hard?!?!?!

Dunn is doing some serious "gut" running!! Busting his arse.....

Spencer sent off with the blood rule.... Little trickle from the knee.....

Reiwoldt gives away a free kick for abusing the umpire.... He is having a dirty day big Nick.... Chip is tearing him a new one!!! HaHa....

No chance

We all have our own opinions..... But if you think that Melbourne could not beat Carlton, Essendon and Brisbane next year, then you are kidding yourself.....

It was not hard to make the eight this year.....

Saints in front for the first time today.... Reiwoldt has kicked the goal.... It looks as though Frawley has been moved off him?!?!?!? Some strange positional changes happening out there....

Sylvia just missed one.... Scores level 2 mins out from half time

Reiwoldt just took a huge pack mark.... but is it any wonder he has come into the match in the last 10 mins.... He has Dunn on him?!?!?!?!

Saints up 47-41 at half time....

A 19 year old running around at will against the best team in the comp.

8 Kicks, 14 Handballs and 7 marks at halftime. Cale is a freak.

So half time it is....

Saints 7.5. 47

Dees 6.5. 41

A first qtr that would have pleased every Melbourne follower no end!! Some great signs for the future..... Jurrah nearly caused me to have to change my jocks! The bloke has something extremely special about him.... Has everyone talking about him.....

The commentators (Bruce, Dennis and Ox) are saying how exciting this Melbourne side is and how well drilled they are.... They are saying that Dean Bailey is obviously the right man for the rebuilding job....

Jurrah has 8 posessions and 2 goals for the first half (basically the 1st qtr) and surprisingly he leads the contested posessions on the ground with 6, equal with Dal Santo, Hayes and Montagna!!!!

Colin Sylvia has gone from strength to strength this season.... He has had a first half of pure class.... Running his backside off and getting to space.... With the damaging kick on him, he has been hurting the Saints.... 16 touches, 10 marks, 5 tackles and 1 goal.... He has 102 dreamteam points to half time (for those interested) :)

Morton has 22 touches to half time.... 19 of them are uncontested, but he is definately controlling the rebound 50's.... His kicking has improved IMO...

As I have said earlier, the backline has been working well.... Rivers on Kosi, Frawley on Reiwoldt, with run coming from Bennell, Whelan, Cheney and McKenzie...

Dunn and Bartram are busting their arses on the ground.... But poor decision making under pressure lets them down.... And Dunn has also proven that he has no hope of stopping Reiwoldt :P

All in all, I would say that we have shown in the first half that we are on the way to building a side who will win a lot more than 4 games next season!!

The run out of the backline has been the most impressive thing for me.... It looks really good 90% of the time.... The other 10% it just looks like we are handballing into trouble (something we are all fairly familiar with over the past 3 seasons)

And Jurrah is worth his weight in gold.... This guy will bring $hitloads of people through the gates after a pre-season.... If he is doing the stuff he is doing now when we are winning games, then look out!

You bet we can make the 8 with some class in the mid field & another Pre season in our young kids.

I will be Yelling for it, you can please yourself Deeflog! :lol:

Don't pay $700 a year to the MCC/MFC for nothing. This year was an abaration. 2010 i want wins at all costs.

Commentators have just made an interesting observation....

Whelan is now playing in the forward line...

He has kicked 15 goals in his 149 games so far....

They said "Maybe Bailey is trying him up forward.... If it works, he may ask him to continue on next year!"

i have no doubt there will be improvement next season, but to suggest we can make the 8 is just ridiculous. By saying that you are saying we will an extra 8 games on top of this season :wacko:

as much as we improve the rest of the league will also improve and we only get younger next season...think about it guys

If this season is anything to go by, then we only need to win another 6 games to make the eight.... Essendon only won 10....

Bring in Maric, Wonna, Grimes, Watts, Green, Petterd and Bate.....

Throw in Pick 1 and 2, and Pick 1 in the PSD.....

You think about it!! ;)

I am pretty sure we will be pushing the eight....

    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.

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
