Better attendances will get us better draws so we need everyone to go along that can possibly go.

No more excuses - you have heaps of Saturdays and loads at the MCG.

If I could go every week, I would and just cant understand people not going when they have no real valid reason for not supporting their team.

For the record, I plan to come to at least 2 games down in Melb next year and of course the Gabba game.

Very happy with the draw, I think 10 wins, maybe more, is very possible.

Can't wait for 2010!!!

Good draw....

but how can round 1 and 2 games vs Collingwood and Hawthorn on Saturday afternoon be broadcasted on Fox? Surely a mistake...

Just like the old days on Saturdays. If you wanted to see the Game, you went to the Game.

Big crowd means a Big atmosphere to go with our new team...

Club says 15 MCG games, I only count 14. Etihad only twice is good too.

Just the one Friday Night is a bit of a bummer, but at least it's vs the Dogs, who should be top 4.

We got 15 MCG matches, but we gave up one to go to TIO stadium in Darwin, for the new venture. (better than Canberra ;) and we now play Sydney at the G')

First 3/4 of the draw is magic!

Tho the 'free-to-air' deal is again horrid. :blink: Guessing it will improve as our membership does,

but 19 out of 22 games on free-to-air for The Filth and Carlscum is over the top.

Happy with this!

Tough 1st 3 games is a slight concern, I just hope we don`t get flogged and young players drop their heads for a few weeks after.

Best of all, only 1 twilight game and it`s an away game against the saints. We must have had 2 or 3 Sunday twilight home games this year which cost the club a small fortune with shockn crowds and just crap atmosphere to be at!

7 or 8 wins next year will do nicely

I think 10 wins would be wishful thinking unless we really take a big leap next year...maybe?

8 wins would be a good season for MFC.

I get the impression the AFl like dealing with clubs who have former footy players or football background in positions of power

compare stynes and schwab vs gardiner and harris

I suspect that unless you have played football or have connections and work in the afl , you generally dont go far (jill Lindsay being an exception)

in the AFL

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
