is anyone else as pathetic and tragic as I am, that you watch replays of last years games, even the ones you know we were pathetically awful in (which was nearly all of them) just so you can remind yourself first-hand of exactly how bad we were/are? I am watching one now, with my head in my hands cursing at the ineptitude. I am also noting that every second bloke that has the ball is no longer at the club. This is closely linked with a hunger to see some more footy.. no matter how painful it may be. Anyone else like to torture themselves?

Like, no.

drawn to, yes unfortunately.. Maybe this is like cutting yourself?

and maybe its the reason some like to cut other supporters, its all negative emotion, so needs its release.

Masochist/sadist heroic/coward ??? one out of the same box

Unfortunately every year I reckon we'll be better and every year we aren't, so I have no expectations this year and can't be disappointed, but I'm not interested in watching last year's crap which would rank as one of the worst we've had.

I'm too old to waste my time on the near past and there are no videos of the distant past.

My DVD recorder keeps defaulting to round 17 2010 -_-

Round 1 2012 haunts me and will for a long time. I thought we would be up for the game with all the motivation needed and the fact we were playing Brisbane at the G. That one hurt a lot. Probably because it was made crystal clear that we suck. I fear for my mental health if we go down to port round 1. I have children MFC and a wife who all need my pay cheque. For the love of god get it done.

Agree Cowboy and what made it even worse was the train ride home during which I encountered the only Brisbane Lions fan I know and he was so bloody patronising, I nearly jumped off the train between stations.

He did mellow towards the end of the ride when he conceded the conditions favoured his team because they trained in the heat all the time and that Simon Black was in outstanding form in the middle all day but yeah ... the writing was on the wall early for us and it foreshadowed the early end to any chances we had for the season.

We have to be at the absolute top of our game in round one this year and we must give Port an absolute bath. Being the eternal optimist, I reckon we can do it.

I had the train ride home and I had just convinced/brainwashed some family members to jump on the dee's bandwagon. They were trying to console me. They thought we were going to be a good team in 2012 even after round 1. I gave them a serve and the "I have put up with this crap for way too long" speech. We all know that speech don't we?

I watched quite a few replays.

It was good to analyse and see what Neeld was trying to do.

Unfortunately, there were many players that weren't up to it - most are gone.

A couple who appeared to be up to it but were troubled with the game plan are gone too. We really have Neeld's team now and there will be no excuses in 2013.

To answer your first question, anyone who reads this is a MFC tragic, therefore is by necessity a masochist :-))

Just put it all behind you and look forward to a massive improvement in 2013, now that Neeld, Missen and Craig have had a year to stamp their authority, purge the list and bring in people of character with strong bodies and minds.

All the players that were traded or delisted were never up to it.

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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
