Mckenzie for Bail I would've gone.

I suppose their talls always seem to kill us - that could be the worry.

we are going in very top heavy in the back half, a major runner and tackler out for a lazy at best 3rd man defender makes me worried we will run out of legs

Goes to show that the MFC think we need to shut down the talls rather than apply pressure through tackling against North

you don't need to shut down an oppositions forward line if you win the midfield battle B)

Or maybe McKenzie's injured?

I'm hoping it's an injury (obviously that's bad for Jordie but if he's fit then I really don't like this decision).

It has to be an injury. But I don't see how we need an extra tall. Warnock, Frawley, Garland and MacDonald can play tall down back, as can Martin if needed and Bruce. Weird. Maybe they didn't expect the McKenzie injury and Rivers might have been the only one left here who didn't fly to QLD and they had no choice.

I know the footy club rate Jordie highly. I'm sure he must have some cloud over him just for this week. I'll bet it's general soreness or something else reasonably benign. It might even be that they don't want to burn him out... give him a game or two at lower intensity and then bring him back. The QLD theory with Rivers being the only one left here sounds a bit 'iffy'. Reasonable thought though.

Am OS ATM. Spewing I'm missing this game. I can't even get it on TV/radio, so I'm really counting on you guys to update this page and really appreciate any efforts that anyone's willing to make.

I sense great danger in this game. They will be as hard as a coffin nail early on.

Go Dees; looking forward to following the game here on this site.

No problem with the change at all

Rivers has form and experience and that might be a good strategy if the game becomes an arm wrestle

Bailey has stated all year that he rewards form and Rivers was really good last week

Bad Luck Jordie..

Dont know why Bail didnt replace him - (small for a small) maybe cause he's up at the gold coast..

Anyway, Go Dees

Moloney free from opening bounce. Good juggling mark by Pettard 50 out. Jamar gives away free.

Small looking crowd.

Frawley overruns ball but wins free. Dunn open inside 50 won't take responsiblity for shot on goal.

Melbourne wins ball back, Dunn spots up Green in forward pocket and Green GOALS.

Warnock done over by Hale 20 metres out. Goal to North. DemonDan's call on intensity is spot on. Need a lift

Lazy at best? You need to watch more footy.

Rivers has never, in his entire career, been lazy.

Terrible post.

If we dont change our style and add intensity now, we'll lose this by 5 - 10 goals

Use the f**king corridor dees!

Geezus!

If we lose the contest there, at least we know we were heading in the right direction.

(Slyvia WTF??)

    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
