Who do we think Clint Jones will go to lock down? Jones must surely be thinking " please not me for once "

He'll go to Jones, but he'll go [censored], and Vince and Jones will run a rampage, i can't wait, do you think we'll get a decent crowd?

I don't rate Blease. At all.

Same for Byrnes.

I held high hope but he hasn't got it. Isn't a natural ball winner and can't get to good positions often enough. And although I missed the Hawks game he certainly didn't do anything to enthuse in the other two games.

To be really honest, the state of the club has had me so bent out of shape, I have been thinking about little else since last year when Roos was appointed coach. I have never been so anxious (including the two GF's that I have seen) for the game to be over and done with, so I can deal with my hopes and fears in a practical way.

Every day I think, leave the bloody website alone it an addiction, my wife thinks I must be surfing porn or something but it is merely anxiety about the impending season, but am going nuts at some of the comments recently about players.

But what I really want to implore others about, is that there is no justice, and we are owed nothing because of what has previously happened. To say that our horse should get up now, because we did our mortgage on all the previous races and must surely be deserving of God's mercies now, will be a faith based disaster (Even though the [censored] really really owes us, and

Norm you bitter old dead bugger, would you please lift the curse).

This is year zero, I wish it wasn't, but I really think the only way we can stay sane and reduce the pressure on the club, which with the AFL's help, (as much as that riles me) has taken action and deserves a chance to start anew, as well as the players. As much as it feels like a cosmic [censored] take when we have another injury, lets just pull together and support the club.

Mate, you need to get out more, and stop worrying so much!

Bringing the whole family to the game on Saturday night, as we live in country vic just wondering the best place to park near Etihad. Plan to get down there about 5.00, find something to eat and then wonder over to watch our boys start our season off with a win.

take a V-line train Oneday, food eateries above the southern station. comfy V-line trains.

Thanks dees at the same time the thread came out.

Timing is everything.

Notice Georgiou on the bench i wonder if he might play forward at times..

Posted

No Montagna, No Jack Steven, No Lenny Hayes, No Sam Fisher, No Sam Gilbert.

Yeah I'm preeeety confident.

I'm hoping for victory, but you never know what really will happen until the final siren...

Also if you add those players to their 22, then there team is not the basket case that people are making out.... Looks like the strong leadership that we've been crying out for, for seven year...

I'm pretty sure a side under Roos won't lose to St Kilda.

You are bordering on hubris, you are so overly confident.

If ever there was a team that a young, rebuilding St Kilda side could beat behind a dominant performance from the one star forward on the ground - it is fledgling Melbourne coming off a 2 win, 54% season.

Reputation shot.

Pardon? you don't think it's possible he might spend some time forward to help out?

It would sure shock the crap out of me.

That's fair enough, but it's just a suggestion and as usual certain posters take it as though i am stamping it as a certainty, and make a snide comment which i think is just uncalled for.

Sure, but who listens to a word they say anyway?

I reckon they'll shuffle the arrangement of posi's, as normal. but I would have thought Le Toump would have come off the bench. I s'pose the saints have a lot of newbies & inexperience as well, which changes things.

I posted a team a few weeks back pretty close to this squad & lineup.

its the same old guard which has overseen the Melbournefc attitudes for the last few decades of success. stuck in the mud ruts ways of doing things around the grand old .

peter giles would never have gone forward? defensive forwards, what rot?

having defenders who can sneak forward to kick goals is a bonus. harry taylor says high.

IT"S FINALLY GAME DAY!!!!!!

All the talk can finally stop! All the speculation, all the rumours, all the news stories, all the "training the house down", all the "Mark Neeld era", all the admin can finally STOP!

IT'S FOOTY'S TURN TO TALK!!!!!!

Round 1 2014 is a fresh slate. The past years mean nothing. Right now we are in the exact same position as every other club. Today we are as close to a flag as anyone and its what the 22 lads who pull on the red and blue do between now and the last Saturday in December that makes the difference. Today we get back to what all of this right here is all about and that is 120 minutes of the greatest game there is. The Demons future starts today.

GO DEES!

    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
