The thing i have been really impressed with is that we haven't allowed them to put more than a couple of goals on, seem to be able to stop the run on's which has been a huge problem for us

Still about a zillion miles for us to go yet, but definitely some great progress already. All I want for Chistmas is a trio of big forwards. I wonder where we'll find them...

Ball movement, vision and quick hands. Love it!!

Howie needs to stay around goals all year!

Alexis Georgiou sure knows how to take a mark. He really makes great body position whenever he finds himself in that kind of contested marking situation

Howe, Terlich and Dunn to become genuine guns this year

Fark me. Is this the same side as last year with a few newbies. Loving the combative style of football. Can't wait to sign my 6 week old up for a MFC membership on sunday

All I can say is what a vastly different side this is to last year.

Grand canyon like.

Bring on the home and away.

Steady! At this point I'd settle for them to become good ordinary footballers. Each one of them has some serious flaws in their game.

We just don't look fragile. When we do good things, it doesn't feel like it is one person doing one thing good, sometimes followed by another if we're lucky. It actually feels like we mean to be doing what we're doing.

No, it's not the same side as last year. We have some of our better oldies out as well as a couple of good newbies. It's only ½ a game but our endeavour and application have been very good. I think we'll be improvers this year.

A different one to you apparently. Watched him take several hits and bounce back up.

What about when Houli

What about when B Houli dropped his shoulder the guy [censored] his dacks you have simply no have no idea and personally I think he just lost his trust in the first 1 hour of the season.

This will be the really interesting qtr coming up

See what Roos does

I think we're seeing that now. Bring up the confidence a bit, and the atrocious play we see so often will stat to disappear.

I am amazed at the improvement here. A few of the new guys are killing it, we're seeing run and effort from guys who normally coast, we're seeing tough play from guys who were known to be soft. I can feel my hopes rising for the season, especially when we add some genuine key forwards at the pointy end so Howe isn't carrying the whole load.

Nicholsons soft and he won't score a game under Roos.

Seriously bud if you want to see someone soft go and have a look in the mirror FFS keyboard warrior if ever I saw one. His skills you can fault but never question Nicho's endeavour.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
