Tom McDonald built on a good Nab Challenge and was amazing today.

Col Garland built on a terrible Nab Challenge and was amazing today.

AFL match centre suggests Garland came off injured at the end. nothing to worry about?

The physios didnt even bother touching him. I'm sure he'll be fine.

There are so many highlights from today. But the main thing is WE WON ROUND 1. 10 years I've waited for this.

Pleasing thing was how hard we were, especially early. Wanted more and exposed a few Gold Coa$t softies.

Also took the game on 95 percent of the time.

And not even the best player I have ever seen can come back through us anymore.

If you're underdone, and if you're sore, you better not risk it against the Demons. They will put Viney or Brayshaw on you early and eff you up.

Probably our best win since beating Essendon on a Friday night way back in 2011.

Sure, we had some exciting victories under Roos last year, but they were close games and we won in part to opposition inaccuracy, choking etc.

Today we were the better side from the opening minute.

Tyson's goal in the second quarter is the best passage of play I've seen since Salem's winner against Essendon last year. In fact, in isolation it was better. What an absolute treat to watch.

One last thing, there were 27,000 there today (a good number in itself) - but the noise felt closer to 60,000 when Lumumba kicked that goal. The Melbourne faithful are as loud as anyone.

Not sure if it showed up as well live at the ground but Watts' tap from the goal line back to Jeffie G was bloody amazing clear thinking.

Definitely deliberate. It was brilliant.

One of my mates saw Mitch Clark there today.

After seeing Lumumba, and Hogan, it's a case of Mitch who?

Good on him for supporting his mates though.

ye good on him. No grudges here.

They had more composure and better disposal skill than I have seen for a long time. Garlett and lumumba add leg speed and class. First gamers Newton and Brayshaw showed composure and looked like they belong. Hogan is only going to get better. Having said that GC was poor defensively. But a great feeling at the end of the match.

    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

    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’

    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
