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....

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

Solarium or spray on ?

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

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'

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.

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
