Winning there occasionally would be a help. I'll be there as I always am, but don't worry they'll come out of the woodwork soon enough. Wait 'til we're playing finals consistently again.

Well my issues are 1) I work until 5.30 then have work at 8.30am the next morning which means I'll be stuffed and 2) my mother's 50th is the next night.

That said, now that we've actually won 2 on the trot we might actually get a crowd there. The problem is more than likely going to be the lack of Doggies supporters...

The footy'll finish by 10.30 and you'll be in bed by 11.30ish. That's enough isn't it, mate?;)

Try working 9 hours in a toy store the first day of school holidays. You need every minute you can get.

I work in an office with 50 year olds now. I don't coach younger kids anymore, so I get what you mean.

Turn up or don't this side needs you to stick. Period

Hehehe, I had to teach 15 kids under 12 to ski for a day on 2 hrs in bed with a monster hangover once. Nearly knocked me off my perch did that one, and I was only 23. Don't reckon I could do it now, it'd kill me for sure :lol:

Back to the footy. We really should win next week. Have found form against a Dogs outfit we were robbed of beating last year, who are playing much worse than last year. I will not accept a loss next week really, because there is no excuses for it any longer.

If a Melbourne player gave that kind of effort you'd boo them off the park. Harden the fark up mate.

I'm actually more concerned about the WC game later in the year. There'll be no crowd, we'll probably need the win to stay in touch after a horror month, AND to make matters worse we might have had a chance at the G, but will likely get smashed by a very, very good Eagles side, to end our year.

Where do you work? Sydney? You have time to get there.

Did I miss something? Is your Mum's party that night or the next night? I could have sworn you said the next night, which would mean you could go...!

I have a feeling you are going to have to accept a loss, unfortunately.

The Doggies are playing for their season, and we are not. Yes, I know what's at stake for us, but they have that extra 1%. They also have more big game experience, and a massive edge at the TV studio.

Yeah but it's a doggies home game. And I have a 11 game membership not 17.

And I thought our free entry game was vs the Hawks (for our home game in Darwin)

Yeah, plus the nine-hour day. Mum's party means I'm actually bloody working more - I'm doing the bar at that too. I was kindly 'volunteered' for that duty.

I'll see. Probably will get stuck running errands.

What a depressing thread; wish I'd never clicked on it. Miserable and puerile collection of pessimism and excuses. The comments here in themselves explain the poor attendance of MFC supporters at Jihad Stadium.

Was thinking the same thing.......

Don't like Etihad, not paying to go there, will watch on TV. It's not all about attendance, I'll go to all of the games at our home ground. I'll buy merchandise and memberships instead.

What about making some noise and supporting the boys? Its not all about dollars either. Its about outnumbering the opposition supporters.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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
