That's a pretty disappointing stat. Means a lot of our enthusiasm has been dented early, for the last 10 years.

A decade of misery when you think about that stat Redleg it is very surprising that we can still muster 30 000 members a week before the first game.

I dream of what would happen if we ever win the first two games!

Our membership willl be affected by the first two rounds, positively or negatively. A couple of early wins will give some real hope for improvement, especially with good players still out.

I am confident of a win against the Saints but would like to see atleast one of Dawes, Hogan or Clark out there. It would be a blow not to win round 1 but not a disaster.

Well it may not be a disaster but if we cannot beat the saints in their current condition then the first game at the G will be a thrashing.

It shows the value of early wins, if we could snag wins against Saints and GWS, i know GWS have improved but so have we so we should view them as very winnable games, 2 wins in our first 3 games would be huge for our confidence through the season and could lead to 6-10 wins, although lose those games and we could have another terrible year, these first 3 rounds set the tone

50% of teams lose in round 1.

Yes but not every year right?

Every year the same - optimism shattered in the first quarter of round 1

I sincerely hoping for a good start to the season and will be at Etihard to watch them win!

Me too but with zero confidence.

So what better way to start this new era than with a win first up... it will happen.

Yes but without a forward line it is a possibility

To be honest, I think Fitzy, Howe and Pedersen is a bloody good 2nd choice forward line.

Not many teams would have the same luxury of our big 3 first choice forwards, but even less would have that depth.

It's not ideal, but I think we'll cope ok.

Pedersen !!

Maybe at Casey.

Honestly Machsy he was fourth choice after the current trio out injured.

what's more frightening, that post, or the fact it has a bunch of likes?

the odds of any side losing the opening two rounds 8 years in a row is 1-in-512.. so yeah that is less than 0.2%.. so it is pathetic and inexcusable

go ahead and be glib to make yourself feel better though

Really? What have Pederson and Fitzy done even in this pre-season to make you think they can play a key position forward role once the real thing starts?

Howe is definitely a third tall option and a good one and lock him in for that role but only if we get blokes playing the primary key position roles with some effect.

Howe has to improve his consistency and reliability. Seems to rely heavily on others and falls out of games when we're behind. Really hope he takes it to another level this year

    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
