We're two wins better than last year, with a couple more in the "Could have, Should Have" category than last year...

So any more wins a bonus!

I hope Roo's and the boys continue to evolve their attacking game and style for the last month without fear of criticism and with the joy of playing teams under pressure to make the eight, and spoiling their dreams.

Reckon 2+ wins as we come home with a wet sail, and 8 wins is an AWESOME result! best since 657 BC.

I have done similar but if you continually think the MFC will instantly change from pauper to prince after one game you will be sadly disappointed.

Pies game is history the much harder North awaits in 6 days time.

Someone recently highlighted the need to celebrate our wins. He suggested that if we don't enjoy our successes then what's the point. Live a little old dee.

Goodvibes is right here OD. There is no need to go 'back to reality' only a few days after a win. Enjoy it as much as you can. I look forward to watching Footy Classified tonight to see them discuss how good the win was, what a pick up Bernie Vince has been etc. Sure beats the weeks where we get beaten. I won't stop enjoying it until our next loss.

Lets say we have different coping mechanisms Wb

I'll guess we'll win one more. 2 more would be great!

No idea who we'll beat, probably not Carlton because - I'm curious; When was the last time we beat a team we were favored to beat?

Literally two weeks ago.

Of course, here on Demonland anything beyond a week ago is a time of myth and legend…where the ancient gods were petty and cruel, and plagued mankind with suffering

Best you take a trip up to Romsey - BBO will take that curiosity right out of you Rob.

We should beat Carlton, but we should have beaten Essendon and St Kilda - we are capable of losing to Carlton.

I reckon that's the key thing. We are very capable of losing to Carlton, I actually really like how you've put it. We are becoming a decent team now, but are capable of losing to anyone, until we meet someone like Brisbane who are far more adept at being a horrible team lately.

Hopefully we come out firing next week because, quite simply, I hate North Melbourne as a football club. We could beat them, so we might as well. Just for a laugh. Just for the hilarious hangover that I'll follow it up with.

Do it for my hangover, boys.

So far my mid year prediction is holding fairly steady. I felt like we would get 7-8 wins with us dropping a couple of disappointing ones but picking up some really good wins as well. I would love nothing more than for us to chalk up our first "2 in a row" for yonks against North. There is something about them I really don't like, plus I feel they are massively over rated every year.

What I have seen this year is that our best has gotten actually quite exciting, but our worst is still almost as bad as the Mark Neeld years. That means on any given day we can lose to anyone, it also means on any given day I reckon we can beat anyone outside the top 4.

7 is a pass for me (by the skin of their teeth), 8 and above is a successful development year.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
