Round 23

The AFL has just released its fixture for Round 23 - view here.

Hawks Eagles Friday night at the G could be massive.

Essendon Collingwood Saturday night likewise - their first Saturday night game since 2002.

We've got the Saturday night slot against the Dockers to end a miserable, miserable season - fittingly, in most likely a miserable, miserable fashion.

Hope it's not Greeny's farewell game was hoping for a Sunday Game as I have a mates 40th that night

Ugh, trust this season to torture me to the very end by ending on the day of my birthday.

I refuse to cancel my plans so I can watch us lose. First game I'll miss watching, probably ever.

Stupid stupid 2012 season!

I'm heading to the Bentleigh Club with a few Dees fans for the last game of the year. Would be good to get a bit of a crowd there to finish off the season. Get along if you can make it.

I don't think that I've ever looked forward to a season ending before this year.

I've had that feeling for at least the last 3 seasons. I've been hanging out for the draft since quarter time in the first game of the year, that's when our season was officially over.

I watched that from Koh Samui. For some reason, I stupidly thought we wouldn't be too bad - we'd played poorly and led by two goals... How wrong I was.

It just went downhill from there.

I was in Samui watching that game too. Were you in the Aussie bar across the street from where Ark bar is?

I'll be in the stands at subi oval cheering for #18, and hoping for a decent showing from the boys. At least the dockers have a track record of blowing games they can't loose so I have some distant glimmer of hope!

I usually am able to enjoy just about every game we play. Even if we're losing, I can find some sort of positive to make the game somewhat enjoyable. I've watched every game from the past 5 seasons in it's entirety (yes, that includes 186), however, this season has just become too much. I was very optimistic during the preseason and even up to about round 4, but now I just want a break and don't want to see the Demons take to the field until they have a radically changed list. Bring on 2013....

I was far more bullish - it was three quarter time in that match for me.

I got to the 20 minute mark and realised it was going to go pear shaped. By half time, it was proven beyond any doubt.

What worries me more than anything is that I haven't been angry after any loss this year, I used to storm out of the ground all fired up and full of emotion but now I just walk out of the ground as if I'd been watching a B grade movie at a cinema.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 19th February 2025

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time.

I think Kolt looks like he’s im

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    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

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
