This is THE time for our "Line In The Sand" moment.

I seriously hope the powers that be at our club make the culmination of events of the last few weeks the turning point at the club.

From today we should -

* Stand on a united front

* Appoint a tough, experienced coach or assistant coach. Malthouse, Lyon or Burns etc

* Play hard aggressive, take no prisoners football

* Use our compensation picks wisely

* Make the environment within the playing group a "You are 110% with us or Fluck off" environment.

Be aggressive at the trade table.

Be tough in every facet of the club.

NO MORE SOFT APPROACH TO ANYTHING - FROM NOW ON THE MFC SHOULD BE A TOUGH, TACTICAL, WELL DRILLED, TAKE NO PRISONERS SPECIAL FORCES UNIT. FROM NOW ON WE ARE AT WAR.

In all seriousness this is the perfect time to start planning this approach. From the beginning of pre season all these wheels should be set in motion.

Great post.

Go hard or go home. HTFU. All of those cliches apply.

Backward steppers can get the fark out!

As long as the club doesn't use that "110%" fluff cliche.

100% is enough for me.

Agree with all of this except for beginning of pre-season. Wheels put in motion as soon as Scully advised the club of his decision.

**Bump**

Looks like some of these actions have been well and truly put in place.

Training camp at the army barracks in Darwin, culling of the flaky types etc.

We are on the upward curve. Finally!

what? competative & going backwards.

don't be fooled by getting to the bottom of the 8,, with a 4some of talent who won't chase or put the body on the line & a bunch of hard working individuals who were expected to make for the 4's lacking work.

that team was going NoWhere but backwards , exactly as it did, & now here we all are. struggling back to where we should have been under ND.

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

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
