So half our team would stand up on grand final day yet we won 2 games this year!

My list:

Nathan Jones - but not if he's tagged by Crowley

Viney - in a couple of years when he's matured

Frawley

Garland

Putting Hogan on that list is ridiculous. As is Howe for different reasons. And the others haven't consistently played well in regular home and away matches. Not sure what makes you think they would in a grand final

How about we start a topic like 'How to get off the bottom four' first.

Half those players wont be there when we do make a grand final..

So it's not good enough to stand up during the year as well?

I want to see us play a final first, but out of that list you can't go past Viney and Chunk. But who even knows if this list is relevant when we do make the big one again. I could be a withered old shrewd by the time that one day in September roles around. Dried up, bitter and pessimistic. Like a woman version of Old dee :)

I'd be thinking Jack Grimes and Jack Viney, but it's abit insane to be thinking that far ahead, there is a decent chance a lot of those players will never play in a Grand final.

I went to the Geelong / Hawthorn prelim this year.

We are <so far> from that standard

Port's rapid rise gives some hope, but to use a loaded phrase - we need to get on the reality bus. Our performances have been an embarrassment, and we were hopeless.

In the fantasy world of Melbourne playing a final, I reckon Mitch Clark might stand up (assuming he's on the ground) - we need more mongrel.

    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

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. 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. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    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
