I want every player to have AT LEAST 5 tackles.

I'm sure that a team total of 110 tackles would set some kind of record. No team had more than 75 last weekend.

If we got to 55 we would be making a massive improvement.

How many did the swans have in the gf? You dont need to have football skills to tackle.

Dead set certs now that we've made changes at the top.

Not just for the win this week but the flag.

Will firm if more off field heads roll.

So glad they sacked Schwab.

Worst player in the team.

110, in one of the most incredible tackling displays you are ever likely to see. I'm not sure that Melbourne could match that number this weekend if it was the only thing they tried to do for the entire game.

Tackling IS a football skill. It's one of the hardest and most important skills. I'm sure that Sydney spend a lot of time working on this skill. Union and League teams put a great emphasis on it as well.

That's a fair ask for a team going well let alone us.

I would love this club to come out all guns blazing and win a game

But Sylvia's 9 Possesion 0 contested possessions tells me not to get my hopes up

I am expecting an absolute Shallacking by the Weagles. In excess of 100 points.

I would dearly love to be proved wrong.

If the shallacking occurs and then we get thrashed by GWS the following week, Neeld just has to go.

If they lose the whole bench to injury in the first quarter, the sub hurts himself in the second, the umpiring is outrageously tilted in our favour and we play out of our skins we're a chance.

Typical- Kerr and Le Cras come back this week.

I'm tipping something worse than the port game but not as bad as the Essendon game - 113 point margin.

Neeld will have one last chance to get the boys up v's GWS.

Wonder if they would have played if West Coast were playing Colingwood or Geelong?

We will lose and hopefully by less than 6 goals but I'm not holding my breath, that's only 9 points a quarter difference and it's asking a fair bit.

They're already missing 7 or so Best 22, the midfield is mostly very young, Priddis is slow, Kerr (if he plays) is slow and old.

Cox isn't in great form, Le Cras (if he plays) would still have an ulna or radius which has not properly-knitted.

The Essendon Injury List was practically nil. This is a different ball-game. If the boys can summon a level of gumption from somewhere,

get a start for a change and keep things going they could be a rude and unusual chance.

despite our absolutely loathesome, pathetic performances thus far in season 2013, we're not actually quite as bad as people think.

It was our worst EVER loss at the MCG. We were that bad.

Kerr and Le Cras as ins this week obviously ain't great ...

I'd prefer those ins to natanui and wellingham!

Kerr is a champion and a warrior but is getting on. Lecras will probably do a hammy in the first 10 mins, he's so injury prone

No one's disputing we were that bad in THAT game.

That said, I don't think this is the worst Demons side I've ever seen. Could be wrong though - it's only round three and we're already negative 225 or so after two 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.

    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
