Locking in our two young bookends in Hogan and T Mac was so important

Glad we were able to tick that off

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

The most apt quote regarding hope (particularly the goals bit):

"To be without hope is like being without goals, what are you working towards?" Catherine Pulsifer

I agree it's very exciting at the moment. it's a good time to reflect on how lucky we are to have Roos and his acolytes. The Swans are still reaping the rewards of his reign and the transition to Horse Longmire is a lesson on how it should be done. I know that Mick Malthouses view that the Swans are the best he has seen is self serving hyperbole nonetheless it is a testament to the influence of Roos. He will see us right because his motivation isn't just cash and ego.

Dean Kent, with all his skills and knowledge in player and list management, recruiting, strategy, and player development and training is telling us it will all be ok.
Phew, i can rest easy now. Wish he told us supporters to "chill, cause we got this..." a few years ago (even though he wasn't with us).
i would't have drunk and cried so much. Thanks Dean.

Very true, but the opposite of hope is hopeless or no hope. Both of these are very apt descriptions of MFC over the last 8 years, and many of us have still come close to losing our sanity! ........... so what's the difference? We might as well cling to a smidgen of hope if we can!

Very rough. He's a not particularly articulate 20 year old footballer just trying to spread a positive message. I know the message is not particularly helpful for those of us who have BTDT, but it's nice to know that some of the young players are optimistic still.

Big supporter of Kent. Has come into the club as a workman, and is steadily improving whilst showing his wares.

If developed properly, he could be on the list for 10 years more.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
