I remember a few years ago, when we were a Finals team, we were playing a Lions side at the Gabba that were bereft of their best players due to injury. We became quite warm favourites due to their 'outs'.

Naturally, we were thumped.

They interviewed our mate Trav Johnstone, and TJ indicated that there are plenty of players that can take Browny's spot if he doesn't get up.

Sounds like something that moron would say

They have plenty of other game-smashing super champion goalkickers down at Brissy that can come in

I think we were beaten before we took the field against Brisbane for a few years, in fact even when they were the whipping boys of the competition we used to struggle against them.

Disappointing.

I was looking at this week showing us where we are at as a team against a quality side, and I was really wanting to see how Chipper, Warnock and our backline would perform up against two massive units.

I'm not complaining about it at all, it should make the job a little easier for the guys, but i do love watching our up and comers and how they approach playing on a superstar.

Don't Worry, we will have many more opportunities to play the Twin Towers-Right now Game Time & Cohesion is what our backline needs

Playing against Brown & co with another 15 odd games under the Belt can only help.

Bailey has got to make sure they ALL stay focused. It's still going to be one hell of a game.

Will they wear the "Paddle Pop" jumper????

anyone reckon we should have chip and warnock on fev?

one of them try to block his lead?

just a suggestion haha :)

If Brown is out play Chip on Fev & get him to run off him all night. Fevola won't be able to go with him up the ground.

People have lost their minds.

I suppose I see where you're coming from, but you've gotta back the club. I'll take any opportunity to move to 3-2!

Hmm.. possible merit in trying to cut out Fev completely by focusing on him, and rotating the freshest possible opponent on Brown. He may be hit for every attacking thrust and kick eight in three quarters, but he'll be buggered for the last. It'll be like Nathan Thompson's big day out which ended because Carroll kept running him onto the wing.

Other than that, we'd have to be trying to lay a tackles record. No tactic in defence is going to work if those two are getting good delivery.

In the meantime, we've also got to just keep on attacking like crazy people. There's going to be a bunch kicked against us, we just gotta get one more.

There's my plan - cut out Fev so Brown has to do all the work/leads, tackle like mad, and keep pouring on the attack.

Not impossible.

Good news for us. Also their pinch hitting forwards (Clark, Luey) won't be suited to the conditions at all. Our small, quick forward line will work in our favour.

Lets smash em and get in the 8.

God some people on this site are so anal retentive and smart arses. We can't all be Phd's in spelling (who would want to be, you must have such a happy and interesting life). I thought this site was all about the celebration of the wonderful MFC to which anyone could contribute no matter what their education and income. Unfortunately there are some melb supporters who think membership of the MCC and the ownership of an Old Melburnians tie (both of which I have but you are welcome to them) is more important than contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue.

Some of our fellow supporters are so far up themselves it is not funny.

You see, the thing about Melbourne supporters is they take pride in edumacation.

It stops them from doing dumb stuff like comparing Jack Watts to Luke Molan, then mouthing off about 'contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue'.

Most of the time.

Christ ! Thanks. I better cancel the plane tickets.

Shattering news. I was truly looking forward to watching him live at the G on a saturday night. Any chance you get to watch one the greatest forwards of our time take on melbourne is one worth watching.

I remember watching Carey destroy us one friday night, kicked 10 I think from memory. I was pretty young but I will never forget it. Not saying I like watching my team being torn to bits but its something you cant help but admire.

No excuses now, Brisbane are not ST Kilda and will struggle without Brown. There are a few little things beginning to go are way. Big chance if we can bring the intensity of the past weeks

    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

    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.
