What excuses?

I seriously just wanted to know what you were talking about because I just don't know sometimes. We should beat Port tomorrow out o a matter of course - it's a nothing game.

You want to see progress?

Beat a decent team, or even play well against a decent team.

Then it will be The Time ©, not beating a poor interstate team.

sure i would love to beat a decent side away from the 'G.

But your attitude of not caring about whether we beat a poor interstate club or not is one of the problems this club has had for years.

We pick & choose when to perform.

Glad you bought it up....

I want to see them take a leaf out of the Dogs' book. Take note, this is how you're meant to play Brisbane in Round 1. EFFORT.

i am rapt Footscray are doing this.

I hope the Coach is giving it a look, and some of the players.

Port should get SMASHED tomorrow.....should.

Enough form and substance and effort and determination for me to realise:

- we deserve to rise above the bottom four this year.

Massive dream team points from. Watts, Viney & Pittard. And no less than a 80 point win to the Dees. (Tongue & Cheek)

I don't know why I bother...

We should win this game. There is no progress from a win, there is only embarrassment from a loss.

Your intimation that this game will be a coming of age of sorts is misguided and naive.

'Its Time'?

Not yet.

I have to completely disagree with this comment. There's plenty of progress from a win. Every win gives the team the memory of that feeling and the desire to have it more often. Every win creates a bond with the players in that they look at each other and know they went out there and together got the result. I don't think this game will make of break the players or the season, but there is infinitely more gained from a win, especially a hard fought win, than a loss.

A forward lead and somebody kick to their chest instead of relying on huge pack marks every time.

Stop picking and choosing which games are "worth" winning.

It is a terrible and destructive attitude this club has clung to for way too long.

"I don't know why I bother..."

Neither do i.

No lines at the bar...

Well there were no lines at the bar...what a great day...

Might be a few this weekend though...

I want to see Viney take the ball out of the first centre bounce, run and and spread the ball to a running Toumpas who will hand-pass over the top to Clark in the goal square. Goal - 23 seconds.

I want to see Watts kick in from a rushed behind and find a running Matt Jones who takes on his opposition player and turns him inside out whilst giving off a hand-pass to Sam Blease who is shepherded beautifully by David Rodan allowing him to run down the members wing to deliver to Sellar on 50. Sellar puts a high ball to the goal square where Howe soars to drag down a contender for GOTY. Goal - 2 mins 30.

Go Dees!

I just want to see them get a kick , before the opposition lands ten tackles... You blokes are now running on your own adrenalin... Let's just let them show us they can come out of "Shame corner" and play four quarters of football , win or lose, just give all they have and come off the ground totally exhausted... NOT walk off talking and smiling with the bloody opposition !! "[censored]" stuff to my way of thinking...

Jack Watts KO Michael Hurley.

Its sort of pathetic that the idea of Watts running through someone, delivering a strong hit or even trying to rile someone up is laughable.

Supremely skilled and athletic but no attitude.

He HAS an attitude.....it may go something like this ....." [censored], this is harder than schoolboy footy when I used to be able to display my skill and athletic... But now I am playing against men I think I will just be glad I get through the day without having to go near the ball... At least I will still get paid".... This is how I see his attitude.... Forgive me if I upset anyone, but I callit as I SEE IT !!

It is frustrating as I see a superstar inside him, he just needs an attitude change. Anyway, there are enough Jack Watts threads, apologies all.

It starts in the head. Sylvia is from Bendigo, which has a reputation for producing tough, uncompromising players, what happened with him? Jack Watts needs to be moved into the forward line and receive some tutoring from Mitch Clark on how to attack the ball. We need to only play midfielders like Jack Viney, Trengove and Magner who are willing to attack the ball and the game and who are prepared to chase and tackle. Our back line needs Grimes, McDonald and any other player that is prepared to work their guts out to keep the opposition scoreless. Colin Garland, James Frawley and Daniel Nicholson need to be sent back to the VFL to learn how to gain intensity and in Nicholson and Garland's case to improve their woeful kicking. Every player needs to be prepared to defend his playing mates when any physical intimidation is applied and it should be answered with strength and unity to show that the Melbourne FC stand for something. Every player should aim to be as feared as Byron Pickett was when they take to the oval on match day.

Dont take this the wrong way or as me being another Dees fan who accepts mediocrity. I know we are on a long road to where we wish to be.

While I would happily take a win, all I really want to see is effort, run followed by gut running, intensity, support your team mate and no shirking of any contests, everything looks after itself after that.

This is what I expect from my team for the next 21 games

    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.

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.

    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
