Anyone remember this halfway through the fourth quarter? Watched the replay and loved the description given by Dunstall.

I think it was Sylvia with the clearance, passed through about five sets of hands as clean as you ilke, looped in the air with a reverse tap over the head to Jurrah who caught it on the fly and snapped it just to the right. If it had gone through I think Dwayne's head would've exploded.

When we're on, I think even the netural would say we're close to the most exciting team to watch.

yeah that was great, if only jurrah had slotted it through. a tigers fan infront of us remarked "i dont rate the melbourne football team, but the melbourne volley ball team are awesome!" haah

I was just saying yesterday to a mate how exciting we are when we get going. Our ability to score in bursts and move the ball so quickly end to end is fantastic to watch. Imagine following the saints - it would be akin to watching a bloke push a big rock up a hill.

Funny how earlier in the season our "game plan" was getting a hammering. A few win shuts that talk up pretty quickly,that and 35 tackles inside 50 - which by the by is the sort of pressure Bailey has pointed out all season we are aiming for and that a failure to do so is not related to game plan but execution. Oh, also intersting how now there is the talk about the Hawks "slice and dice" game plan based around clinical kicking. If they win the flag will that become the new tactical orthodoxy?

On record as saying that game plans are not radically different from club to club - we are a little more high risk/high reward however it is not the plan that should have been called into question - it has always been the ability to EXECUTE where we have failed or on the last two matches passed.

I remember it, definite contender for goal of the year if it went through the big sticks. Is the best behind that I can remember!

Was it in the Tackle this week were Robinson stated the loser coach between Bailey and Eade would be back under pressure .

The media are just parasites and won't be happy till they have a coach scalp , even then they'll just move onto the next coach under abit of pressure .

Team goals aren't considered .

Couldn't give the prize to Jurrah .

Yep , our game style is awesome to watch when on song .

Couldn't handle it if it was similar to the Aints.

If we got Roos as coach like some want around here guess what we'd get .:mad:

What was GOOD about it was that it highlighted something to some of us. We're playing pretty darn well at times, but we're still not on fire. There have been games we've played this year and last where those ones go through. Our best is stunning...

Since Pippa Middleton's

Pippas overrated IMO .

    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

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
