Yes I did. It was like watching Melbourne at their worst going up against Melbourne at their second worst.

I haven't felt that hollow after a win since we beat the expansion sides in their first year's. Gee, it's tough being a Melbourne supporter. Even when we win, it feels like a loss.

We've played better on several occasions this and last season and lost so I'm taking the win, very much Sydney 04 & early 05 in our display today ugly as but never in danger although playing like that you and the opposition are never far away.

Liking Harmes and good to see Dawes and Howe putting in decent displays, Big Maxy developing week by week and a big positive in the 2nd half of the year.

JKH is almost at the cross roads, I know it's only 2nd year but he tends to cruise a lot and really lacks a solid work ethic to get the best out of himself.

Here is exhibit A of those posters who are disappointed when we win. So sorry Melbourne decided to disappoint you with the 4 points today mate.

Never disappointed to win but geez it was horrible to watch and would have been worse had we lost.

So u think on this form we will beat saints then?

And given the same circumstances of today's match the saints will let us kick one goal after half time if we r in a similar situation?

Very lucky to get the win and it beats losing again but it was horrific to watch.

Beamer and Colin Sylvia at the Chairman's lunch today.

Spoke to Colin, he has done a shoulder and it is all over for this year. Hope to play a few more years in the lower leagues in Melbourne.

Spoke to JT in the lift on the way out and he hopes to be running in about a week and says the foot feels fine. Hopes to be ready for Pre Season and available first game next season.

He is a bit taller than I thought, when you stand next to him.

For all the crud we've given them, and in some instances for good reason, it's nice to see them still welcome back at the club and also willing to come back as well.

He was never that good. Slow and one dimensional. Unreliable down back and not clean enough. Jamie Bennell 2.0 but without the pace. Only in the side because of Kent.

Nothing like Bennell. Bennell had speed and no skills, JKH has skills but doesn't have the speed. His second year hasn't been great, but he has had an injury riddled year, so happy for him to have another year or two and see if he can get going again.

My lord we need a Centre Half Forward who can mark.,

We look spent.. Jones missed characteristic snaps.. And even sprayed one running in from 50.. Thank gawd for Max's 3rd quarter! Once again if we can kick straight we'd win by another 6 goals...

Also when was the last time we had teo fwds kick 30 plus in a year?

We showed a month ago we could beat the Saints.

The game was ugly, won't argue that, but as Roos said in his presser a win today shows that we already have more wins than last year and that the improvement is evident in that. We are, and even before today's win, a chance to roll the Saints next Sunday.

Yes we can easily beat the Saints.

And a 24 point win in a very low scoring game is not luck at all.

I'm not concerned about JKH. He has had a couple of injuries and has been interrupted, unable to find consistency. In addition, he hasn't had the opportunity to gel with his team mates RE his role in the side. I think he will come good with time.

I thought falling down at half forward today was a problem and it has been all year really. Hope the team can address this somehow....

I can't believe it. In Rounds 5-7 we had the final score of 50 in 3 consecutive weeks, now we've had 3 weeks in a row of scoring 60.

Lets hope we can keep the Jcurve going up....

    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 few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    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)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    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
