The Bye did a job on Adelaide a couple of weeks ago and has seemingly scared the crap out of St Kilda, but I just think Melbourne have got better depth and class and will steamroll them. Tiwi Islands in for their first of the year, whether he will have an impact isn't known yet.

And if we don't win by 150 points, Bailey is going to be ritualistically murdered by me and a cadre of vampire-witches!

Relations with the Missus at CHB is the danger player to watch.

He just loves to surprise you from behind, but push his buttons enough and he'll be out of the game by quarter time.

Why the %$#@ would you drop Martin this week ! The guy is a shining beacon and can do better than Newton, tenfold ! FMD

If we put Newton in, then expect the bye to over run us this week.

I was sitting there for 20mins trying to work out who I forgot.

After seeing Newton during pre-season, I think McDonalds will smash him.

Don't worry the FD penciled in Martin for a break this week - His GPS plots had gone up so much this year they were worried about burnout. He's got a light week on the track and will be freshened for Wet Toast next week. They also thought he should go to WA early so as he can maintain the physique and sunbakeing ritual without reverting to the solarium....

Very much a danger game.

Was thinking the same thing. We have dropped games like this before.

According to Garland, Martin has been "out-tanning" the best of his teammates in the off-season.

Solarium or spray on ?

who is going to tag Moloney this weekend? surely Bail will get this job

I'd just like to clarify.

I don't really think this is the danger game, I think we'll dominate the Bye. But they're a hard team to pull up from, and with only a 5 day break before the next game, it could be a worry.

I think Wonaeamirri wouldn't mind taking on Tiwi Islands this week.

I would prefer a runnng player as the SUB - Wona maybe

Boozebus could be a problem if it starts on Moloney

Could just do enough to block his run in the middle.

Boozebus is a front runner, if it gets a sniff ,Beamer could be found wanting.

Boozebus blanketed the whole midfield , alone, the week before

let nothing through, ione to watch, as a top class stopper.

Tapscott for Rising star this week will destroy 'Kids Classes'

Posted

Definately concerned about this week.

Most of there players always seem to go that bit harder on a long weekend.

In particular; Relaxation, Holiday, Partying and Family time. And we can be sure that Booze Bus will cover alot of the ground.

Posted

Could not have come at a worse time for the club - a friend who knows people who know other people who know Tom Scully said apparently he hates the bye and that this week will be the nail in the coffin on his career at MFC

I disagree - I think the bye is a perfect matchup for Newton

Sin Bin could be dangerous coming off the bench..

Their HF line is overrated I think. Twitter in particular.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
