Gotta say that these vids make me cringe each year. Yeah, it's the silly season, big deal, but given how poor we've been on and off the field over recent times, I'd rather we gave it a miss. IMO it does not sit well with the 'toughest team to play against' mind set. Do the top 4 teams do this yearly? I honestly don't know. But I reckon they certainly wouldn't if they consistently finished down the bottom.

It's a bit of fun and I'm ambivalent about it ........ but I do hope they show a bit more structure and cohesion on the field next year!

I always enjoy the Christmas video no matter how corny it may be. Max Gawn was gold!

D-Rod has already started earning his salary.

The rest of the video was lame.

It was a bit of fun, a little bit silly and showed the lighter side of the players not many get to see. It served its purpose perfectly.

If it was better, people would probably complain that too much time went into making it when the players should've been training.

Some need to lighten up, methinks.

One needs to understand how life works. These videos are cringeworthy when you're a team on the bottom of the ladder. When you can't win a game you're open season for just about anything. I find Geelong's Mad Monday lame, but because it's the dominant team of the modern era, along with Brisbane, it's become celebrated. If Melbourne players had "dress ups" on Mad Monday they'd be the laughing stock of the footy world; and all and sundry, including Denham, etc. would belittle Melbourne for their behaviour. You know, "if they'd put that much effort into their footy perhaps they wouldn't be propping up the ladder", and similar trite remarks.

When you're winning you can get away with anything, but when you've been losing everything is put under the microscope. The video may, or may not be lame, depending on how you view these things, but it has nothing to do with where we sit on the ladder.

I thought the video was pretty good. It was a lot better then last year. Some people also need to remember that not every dee's supporter is 80 years old and hates the world. My kids have watched the video about 20 times and they laugh everytime.

You think octogenarians hate the world ? For every one that does there are plenty with Dame Elizabeth's attitude to life.

I don't know what the hell some people expect - do you really think the club are going to bring in Judd Apatow on this project??

I enjoyed it for what it is; a cheesy xmas video where the players act like geese for the enjoyment of the supporters.

If you're someone who is overly critical of this vid, maybe the problem is your own unrealistic expectations...

Channel 9 thought it good enough to play part of it on the 6 o'clock news

or were they extracting the urine?

was actually better than most of their production, but that's not saying much

Stupid, but got a few laughs out of me so it did its job. Big Max seemed to enjoy doing the news report part of it and most of them seemed to have fun doing it, and in the end that's what it's all about.

Did dunny give max his tache? Max should ditch it, doesn't suit him

Max Gawn likes the spotlight and thats fine, However I am uncomfortable with him doing this before he's shown much on the footy field.

He acts like a celebrity without having proved himself yet.

I hope he can play as well as he performs in front of the camera.

Otherwise I thought the Xmas special was ok... and a couple of laughs.

All good fun and some great performances in that clip.

I reckon if Max Gawn establishes himself as a player with the club then he will become a real personality in the game because he's got the looks, the wit and the humour and who on earth would take on someone that bi who's 6'10" tall?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 12th February 2025

    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 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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
