I know it means absolutely nothing after round 1..

But its been a bloody long time since we've been in the top 4!

Maybe it'll be two weeks in a row?

Carn the dees!

Rnd 1 teams that looked good for the whole game were Port, Hawks and Freemantle. No other winners were totally convincing. On that basis we can win a few games previously marked down as losses.

Top 4 at seasons end, No. Knocking on the door of the 8, Yes!! Go Dees.

GWS have to be considered an easier opponent that Gold Coast. We're in with a decent chance next week.

Nope. Not that it matters, but they beat them in nab challenge, and have a far better midfield and forward line, in my opinion.

'absolutely nothing' is not quite right.. it means we performed better than 14 clubs in the first outing. Our opponent was not all that flash though if we're being honest

Next week: A real chance to get back-to-back wins for the first time since r13/14, 2011

When was the last time we were inside the 8 at the end of a round ? I'd be guessing about round 5-6 2011 ?

We were last in the top 4 in Round 21, 2006, after beating North by 50 points at the G (our most recent win against them) and drawing with Geelong in Geelong (our most recent non-loss to Geelong).

We then got belted by Adelaide in Adelaide (when Bartram got injured IIRC?) to slip out of the top 4, putting us 7th and in the Elimination Final against St Kilda.

top 8 I dunno

Enjoy the good times, but remember the first 6 rounds mean Jack Shite.

With a win next week we will be in the 8 for a while to come. This will be good for the mindset of the players and club, not to mention the long suffering supporters. When players see the team in the 8 week after week this can only be a good thing.

We should never consider any opponent easy. We have no right to that mindset.

Go up to Canberra, secure 4 points, nobody get reported & come home.

he also said GW$ should be an easier opponent than the $un$

Start thinking like that and we get rolled.

It's not at the MCG. Makes it a tougher assignment

We must erase the soft MFC underbelly

Stop thinking the job is done.

So many times this club has lost the "easy" games in the past

    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
