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.

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: 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.

    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
