I know what you're thinking. Melbourne only wins the opening game of a season once in a blue moon, a rare occurrence involving 13 full moons in a one calendar year. Well, the fact of the matter is

Jealous of everyone heading to the 'G. I organised for a new TV and audio to be installed this morning to welcome the footy in. My wife doesn't know yet, she's at the shops, I'm hoping it's done by

Just on Gold Coast Jeager O Meara has been stretched off from a NEAFL match with what looks like a serious knee injury.

His career could be on the line here.

O'meara may have done his knee in the NEAFL.

Hope for his sake that ain't so.

Let's hope he's okay.

Hoping to find a pub in Byron that shows the game with full audio. Taking a break from Bluesfest to watch the footy today and tomorrow.

The Tigers fan with us is happy, while the Bombers and Roos fans I'm on holiday with remain hopeful, along with me.

Really excited to see the team play today. Good luck to the 7 playing for the Dees for the first time. Looking forward to Hogan and VanDemon crunching a few GC players early

Am at the ground, sitting on the Robbie Flower wing.

Good points:

1) We outnumber them considerably. Them being the Suns fans.

2) The Robbie Flower wing has a lot of people in it. Could be a place to assemble in the future.

3) The new member's scarf is an improvement on last years. At least some imagination went into this one.

The test of my judgements will be reserved until after the match.

So my wife came home and I was sitting in front of the new tv with fox footy on.

She looked at me, looked at the tv, back at me and said "You're a dh"

She threatened to cancel my Melbourne trip however I countered with offering to take her anywhere she wants for dinner. I'm in the clear for now.

Bring on the game!

Tell her watching footy results in a testosterone surge. Mind you a loss is the equivalent of a very cold spoon.

One thing I also take solace in is that at least we don't look like a bunch of Ronald McDonald clowns when we take the field.

I liked the entry music. Sadly, the bells usually toll for us!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 19th February 2025

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
