I have a theory. It isn't particularly revolutionary but here goes Backs. Probably as good as any in the league. We also have some depth too. Whilst we all would prefer to have Jetta playing I don't

Agreed. If everything goes right we could well win 10. Given we could have won 6-8 last year. It's all about confidence. If we can string a two or three together who knows.

We're not better than Collingwood I'm afraid...they were hard at it yesterday and Figjam has them on the right track. We are better than:

Bears

Suns

Blues

Tigers

Saints

Doggies

and maybe the Eagles

Agree - Collingwood were good yesterday and I think on the right track in terms of list management, culture and game plan. Wouldn't be surprised if they finish 5-6th and play deep into September.

I reckon we will win 6-8 including matching it with and beating at least one of Geelong, North and Westcoast - teams which have bullied us since we have been a rabble.

I think the pass mark for this season is a percentage btw 80-90% and being a contender for finals 2/3rds into the season. This is important as it means we have something to play for in the last 7 or 8 games.

We are not as good as Collingwood,Brisbane ,Geelong or North.

We haven't beaten them in years.

We are nowhere near Sydney,hawks,freo,port.

We are probably the equal of the dogs.

We are 5 goals worse than the crows.

We are better than Carlton .

Yet to prove we can do the Saints.

The gw scums are heading for the eight.

West coast are another one we can never beat.

No offence to the OP but this is a ridiculous conversation to be having in round 4 with our opponents having been GC, GWS (who pansed us), Adelaide, and the Tigers.

We are an up and coming team, that is all. We still have along way to go before we can start talking about who we're better than. On their best day the Tigers are still probably better than us.

I have to agree.

We must be the worst group of supporters at keeping the lid on our team.

Our best is good enough to push any side and beat most, but our worst is bad enough to lose to St Kilda, Brisbane or any other bad side.

Hate to reduce the impact of your otherwise good post, but it's round 4 not round 3.

what a bunch of old misery guts.

Dare to dream, Demons, Dare to dream....

Believe me, having seen our start to the year I'm dreaming much bigger this year than the last 8 combined.

I have much more hope, but that doesn't mean all of a sudden we're the 8th best side in the AFL.

Can you blame some of us though? So starved of success.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

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

    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
