Crazy stat -   Tracca and Oliver combined for 9 kicks and 38 handballs

And how awesome are they with their handballs.  Especially Oliver.  The guy rarely misses a target.  So quick, and so precise!  Very special!!

That win was in 2010 and was 73 points.

I was close

Said before the season on one of the many threads how I am most excited to see what Hunt would bring to the team, have been pretty gung-ho about this kids prospects.

 

i had no idea....

 

 

great effort by the club, loved Harmes performance, love big Max - may the beard never meet with a razor! Jack Viney, loved his dad but Jack is looking like he could have a career that will put him to shame! What a second half, stunning stuff, demolished them but still managed to lay almost 90 tackles!

First half we farted around with too many handballs then bombed it long to the forwards, second half we played it smart.

 

Them losing two players helped but I think we would have won if we played the same way.

I always seem to be living in Japan when we are up and about.
I've been waiting to see us grind a team into the dirt for quite some time. To be fair, the Suns are way down on confidence. That being said, before this, we would find some way to arse it up.
I also felt weird in one way. I could see how an opposition supporter might looked at us around 2012/2013. We were tearing them a new one but strangely, I felt a strange sense of pity towards them. 
Anyhow, we have a BIG challenge next week. Can we back up? Watch this space.

Stockholm syndrome?

No pity from me - [censored] them!

I'm so rapt - so very excited about the future.

We are finally the team who comes out at 3 quarter time and smashes the opposition instead of being the team who gets smashed after half time when scores are leaved.

Woohoo!!!

THE BEST TEAM EFFORT I HAVE SEEN FOR 10 (MAYBE MORE) YEARS.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES.

And remember, we were 4 goals to 1 down.

When we did it to the Swannies in 2010, I was jumping through hoops cos I knew that we had just outclassed a team heading for September. Roosy said it himself at the presser after the game 'Not much you can do against team in that kind of touch. Just buckle your seat belt and hope for the best.'
Clearly, a lot of the Suns problems are between the ears. A bit like we were.

Was at the game and it was f a r k I n g awesome. 

First live win I have seen in years.

I know it comes under 'who cares' but there must be some serious problems also at GC. It's more than just injuries.

Probably the most boring 16 goal half from Melbourne that I can ever recall. Now I know what if must have been like for Freo supporters and like playing us for the last how ever many years. This is a good thing.

Go the f*cking Dees! Rapt with that second half.

Got a man crush on Oliver. He is such a beast, so solid and amazing around the stoppages. He's just like Michael Voss!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. 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
