THE most intense quarter of COMPETITIVE footy I can recall.....exhausting to watch.

The club must demand that our guys sit together, as a group without coaches or hangers on at least the first few times, and watch this over and over and over again.

Amazing intensity, effort, teamwork, courage by both sides. Not one half hearted effort.

Never let go!

Learn just what unconditional commitment gets you.

Wow now thats an exciting game - I wish Neeld was watching (in one quarter they have both scored what we generally score in a whole game)

And in commentary, Bruce just described Kieran Jack's run as, "jack...off".

Does it get any better?

It could have been you Gys .... berts!

Bruce wasn't watching the footy at that point.

Watching that little special on Joel Selwood... what a superstar. I wish even a couple of our boys had his fearlessness and work ethic.

Makes our attitudes look like absolute rubbish. I wonder if Col Sylvia could look Selwood in the eye.

It's amazing that every Sydney and Geelong player sprints as soon as they get the ball, Melbourne players jog.

....and they even sprint when they don't have the ball, which our guys also must learn from tonight.......IF anyone at our club thinks they could learn from watching two determined, courageous and above all fully committed teams.

They also run hard when they don't have the ball...

This is what annoys me, running doesn't take talent. The players either don't think to run (if they are told once that should be enough for their entire career) or they are too lazy.

Ok this is going to sound like madness..but...

After watching that game and looking at our list I actually think we should be able to match these teams for effort and intensity. They are human with arms and legs. They just believe in themselves more and have the insatiable hunger to get to contests and help each other. Our players I feel have bought into the psych of we aren't fit enough yet and we are still 'young'. It's total mindset - we should not be 100 point worse team than these sides. Yes we don't have a Selwood or Goodes but we shouldn't be as far off as we seem right now.

You are totally right in my opinion. In reality, 90 percent of the players in the league can be physically very similarly ranked.

But it is mostly in the mind... courage, attitude and work ethic... of which ours is [censored].

I wonder, what kind of sports psych program have we got on down at the MFC?

I agree and have mentioned it before, particularly re Col but other "talents" as well. Do they really WANT to be AFL stars, or would they just LIKE TO be? There is, an enormous difference.

PYFO and show us, starting tomorrow.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

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

    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
