Every time Spencer plays I'm waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come out and say we've been "Punk'd".

Nathan Jones is having a great season under such adversity. I hope every player in the team could emulate his work rate over the pre season.

We should be proud. Every game we play you see really great footy. From who ever we play.

Going purely to the cheer on greeny in his 250th, only motivation.

Neeld on SEN:

talking about Watts's ankle. Was supposed to be ready but its a high grade ankle sprain that is taking longer than expected.

Asked about which players are going to be the future - Mentioned 3 - Sam Blease...'he's working hard offensively. Endurance needs improving. Sees a big future. Strauss - sees a big future for him. Sub 3 weeks in a row for a variety of reasons. Jetta - big future. Rushed him straight back in.

Re Beemer. "let's show some energy" His defensive efforts were not good. Carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Go back to the VFL and play with some freedom and enjoyment.

Morton - working his way back into form in VFL. Neeld hesitated when answering... He gets asked a lot about Cale a lot. weeks to demonstrate he can get back to form (?) Suggested look beyond his testing and numbers (ie: don't care where he was drafted he needs to do certain things and he clearly isnlt doing them - my interpretation!)

I'm glad to hear Neeld rates my boy Jetta. Watching Cale Morton for the Scorpions isn't filling me with much confidence at all, though.

Stranger things gave happened but I can't see the boys getting anywhere close to the Roos today.

Contested possession will be a highlight with both sides to go very hard. If we do okay out of the middle we will be caught short once again I the forward 50 unless a miracle takes place.

Looking forward to se how big Spencer goes today after Neeld saying he will match up well against Goldstein. A great game will do him wonders.

Moloney will want to prove his worth today. If he fails to fire again then it will be disappointing to say the least after a couple of weeks off, unfortunately just one of playing in the VFL.

Grimes has been playing into some great form and leading the way. Trengove still needs that performance to make us go wow.. Hopefully he pulls it out today.

If we have a chance it will be though Sylvia and Green in attack.

Chip to account for Petrie is our only hope.

Not going today. Have a 2,000 word essay on Media Law due on Thursday. Haven't even started. Too many times this season I've compromised my studies to spend a rare free day watching Melbourne lose.

I'll have the tele on though :P

Don't give us a chance today, at all.

But I'd love some of the senior blokes (especially Moloney) to stand up and show some spirit for Greeny's 250th.

My biggest hope is that we only get beaten by a few goals every quarter rather than get smashed in 1-2 quarters, can't stomach another week of MFC talking about how "4 quarter efforts".

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
