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

    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 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)

    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
