Who else but Bernie! Kicked the sealers v Geelong and Tigers.

And the Doggies! Can never forget that fantastic tackle on Bontempelli.

And I don't agree with Viney about the St Kilda game. We may have had the lead with 40 seconds to go, but we only held the lead for 20 seconds in that whole last quarter and the ball barely left their

I'm driving 1400 km to see us win, so nothing less than a win is acceptable. Dees by a couple of goals, I reckon

You cannot discount where these two clubs have been in recent history though. One played in Grand Finals in the last five years and still has a core of players from that team playing, so a strong cult

Let's not worry who is not playing for the saints cause it sure as hell hasn't helped us in the past.

The Saints are very top heavy with Riewoldt/Bruce/McCartin plus Hugh Goddard on the bench, especially given the forecast weather

Still think Riewoldt wont play

The games aesthetics aside (because it's all about the winning when it's your own club!) ... if we bring those defensive aspects that we had last week into tomorrow's game, we should be able to get the points. I actually felt that the Lions were the main cause of the standard of the game being below par - they wasted the ball on countless occasions and went wide all day without any sort of purpose. Of course, that was mainly our doing because of our strong disciplines but we will need to score more heavily tomorrow, all the same.

I like the idea of T-Mac playing forward as it suddenly gives our forward line more structure (and allows Dawes to play as the 3rd forward where he is better suited) Tom may be needed down back tomorrow but he still may get some time in the forward line regardless

A combo of Hogan and McDonald has a nice ring to it - we have a real need for a top rate 2nd tall forward and save for drafting or trading for one, T-Mac might just be the man. It's worth a try for the remainder of the season anyway - what have we got to lose?

The side looks ok so it's the Demons by 11 points.

I agree that if we're gonna play Dawes he can't clog up the space that Hogan and McDonald could be using much more efficiently. Just have to accept he's not a goalkicker but more of a linkup player, as he proved v Brisbane

TMac forward looks good for the future I reckon. Perhaps as a CHF , he's a good mark , kicking not great but could be worked on. Such a good link up target from half back though. Get Carlisle and put him as CHB. Hogan at full forward. Thats a good spine i reckon

Perhaps Oscar McDonald can make the leap to a key defender at AFL level like his brother did in his 2nd season.

Would allow Tom to stay forward

    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

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
