He's just not the same build as those guys and never will, he won't crash packs but he will be bigger and stronger and make an impact. His skill and ability to make good decisions is what will make him as a footballer.

By the way Cloke did win a Copeland (CollingwoodB&F) as a 20yo in 2007.

We will see how how much jack really wants to play soon enough. The excuses are beginning to wear thin. Edited by why you little

On side note, im thinking about Saturday and im worried. Tell Moloney he is not thinking about a zero possession game last yr. If he gets 10 or less than 15 possessions this year, it will be seen as a failure, or result of last year. If we lose by 100pts, it will be seen as a result of last yr. Any thing less than 10 goals will be seen as par. I get the sense that the club is on a hiding to nothing this week. If we are thrashed, the media will go crazy. If its an honourable loss, the media will leave us alone. If its a good loss or (god forbid) we win it, it will go down in club history (the win). Im not holding out for a win, but hope we get within 6 goals, at best.

This week is a week that could be the making of a club, or the continued culture of 47 yrs. Pls Dees, stand up!!!

Don't worry too much Gid. This is gonna be a last man standing arm wrestle...right to the final siren. The Cats will know they've been in a massive battle to the death....that's IF the Cats survive, and if they do i'd say about 4 goals max.

A break out "line in the sand" game for Neeld and most of the boys tomorrow and a paradigm shift for the Melbourne Footy Club.

We could also lose a few players at the tribunal. I'm prepared for a trip back to the 80's as far as the biffo goes for this one, i just hope they keep their eye on the footy after they stop brawling lol.

This game will be spoken about for many moons by Demonlanders, footy scribes/journalists and ex players ... as much as, if not more than 186.....for entirely different reasons.

Get ready for one all almighty battle Demonoids!

I agree he will never be like Cloke but could well 'do a Hawkins' hopefully well before the 2014 GF.

And I don't see, as you appear to imply, that Cloke and Hawkins are of similar build.

gidon. The club must stand up. There is no excuse tomorrow.

The MFC has to stand up like an army does.

Find a way.

I wish you hadn't trotted out your "no excuse tomorrow" line there WYL. I've heard it before, and nearly every time it seems to be the prelude to a flogging.

I want the boys to concentrate on thier roles, I don't think that going the biff on blokes like Bartel and Chapman would be that effective, at the same time i expect that the boys will look after each other.

I just want to see commitment, application and a small helping of composure wouldn't hurt. Lets not live in a fantasy.

    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. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

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
