I'll take it, but will still celebrate hardcore if we manage it during the season.

I'm talking cocaine, strippers, accidental flight to Queensland after a tab of acid, the works...

In 2012 we beat Brisbane in one of those "lightning" games (where you played back-to-back mini games), then the next week we beat Collingwood. 

That's the closest thing we have to consecutive wins since we last did it properly, in Rounds 13-14 of 2011.

The membership point is a good win - we might not have looked flash in winning, but it's a win and that is what everyone talks about.  Can only be a good thing.

Wins are great for membership and general positivity around the club. Ultimately wins in NAB mean more to the lower teams because they need hope.

That's not to downplay the results too much though, 2 wins are definitely better than 2 losses!

And after we beat St. Kilda next week it will become 3 from 3. A nice confidence builder for a young team for whom the game plan is finally starting to gel and it means that we turn up for Round One much better prepared than in the recent past. Go Dees!

Simple really. Two wins feels a lot better than two losses. 

Hallelujah to that Ernest.

I will take a win any time anywhere for any reason.

Who do I fly with?

Confidence is a huge thing, could be the difference between wins and close losses so fingers crossed we carry it into the season

A decade is a long to be the also rans of any competition dee-luded.

AS Jon Ralph said in today's HUN " But for a club that has defined mediocrity for a decade , NAB cup wins against Port Adelaide and the Dogs will do just fine."

On the outside the club is all smiles but on the inside the coaches would be scratching their heads. Take the win but still a long way to go.

I am very confident that 99% of MFC supporters would agree with you BA.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
