Having watched the GWS win today it is clear that draft picks, if used correctly, are the gold of AFL football. GWS have a sensational bunch of young kids and they have clearly drafted well. We haven'

I don't know if I can be bothered with this if we win the spoon this year. We will move a couple of positions up the draft order but will lose 5,000 in membership and many could have been members will

Well we're not Geelong, we're pure rubbish. Beating Gold Coast and GWS by 1 billion points wouldn't change the fact that we're pure garbage and it wouldn't change the team's attitude about anything.

They will take us too easy Dr.

They will think after beating WCE etc.. they are a lock for the finals and only have to play the Dees at home.

Think we are easy beats.

A few players will be back and we will surprise them.

They are there for the taking.

We could easily rise to 15Th ( Redleg are you reading this )

Two more wins and the Dogs will lose all four. GWS are a win and we will beat Freo in the last game with a few players back.

We would squeeze into 15th. by percentage

old dee, your posts are articulate and make sense.

You'll need to revisit this comment.

Lol. We are.

Also they are outside the eight on percentage. They will want to smash us to ensure finals.

Just a small joke there Nascent.

After a win enjoy a little fun.

So, you're back and 2013 looks better already? :)

Not really jr

Just enjoying a win feels way better than the last five weeks.

All I want from 2013 is 6 - 8 wins.

In fact all I want in the future is a team that wins more than it loses.

If anything better happens so be it but I am over waiting for the Dream to be realised.

A winning culture with respect is my goal.

6 - 8 wins? I'm expecting more than that AND I'm expecting some tough, bruising encounters.

All for positivity and fun. Although it wasn't pretty, we got rare win... gotta be happy with that. Plus Essendon lost and are a step closer to missing the 8... all round a good day :)

Expecting more has been beaten out of me JR.

When it happens tell me what a pessimist I was.

Until then I will believe it when I see it. The cattle are not great.

Unfortunately, although we won today, it was a gruesome performance on our behalf. Our midfield proved once again, that they are not up to it. We got smashed in the clearances and generally played at a very ordinary level (there were a few exceptions of course). Howe and Tappy were probably our best and even Tappy had a couple of clangers by foot.

There's no way we'll finish below that mob, but we're still a strong chance to finish below GWS.

Another glaring deficiency that today exemplified is that we don't have a dominated second string key forward to cover Clark. Of course we knew this, but it underlines the importance of high picks this draft.

    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.

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
