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.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
