I'd throw 2014 in there too. We were incapable of scoring that year

I was being nice to Roos.

Costs me $100 per month to watch Melbourne, because Ch 7 do not know they exist !!

The reason we do not play some Clubs as often is because they play on Friday Nights and MFC are not in favour of Wall to Wall Bookmaker odds.

Lol North are a top club with no money that go out every week and play for there supporters , the players bleed for the jumper and club I have nothing but the highest respect for North there everything I one day hope we can be and Roos would think the same . 

Plus they don't take money from gambling, ranking them as a people's team.

Hawthorn, Giants  and the Bulldogs? Might as well add the Crows to that list while your going.

Again I must be watching a different game to others.

Freo : gameplan doesn't involve scoring 

Richmond : so predictable 

Essendon : VFL standard

it's not about watchability, it is all about envy with the Hawks Giants and Bulldogs

I am with you for the first two, don't watch any game involving the third

Untill I joined DL I had no idea how many Dees fans hated North Melbourne. Collingwood, hawthorn Essendon, Richmond sure but everyone seems to hate north, but I digress. Based on this year, Essendon, Gold Coast and Freo seem the clear choices to me maybe add Richmond and Brissy to the mix. I do want to see brissy get better though, I tend to develop a soft spot for any underdog... excluding the 4 I mentioned earlier they could be the bottom 4 for all of time and I would be happy.

Not really related to this topic but how can an undermanned Essendon side get more friday night games than the MFC..?

Because the fixture was developed under the delusion that the Essendon players were going to get off. As soon as WADA appealed it was plain as day they were going to be suspended. The AFL lives in its own little world where it gets to make up the rules as they please. Makes no sense to me, but lots of cents for them.

I assumed it would be part of the AFL's dodgey little give the bombers a leg up plan despite them sending the comps integrity into the dirt. 

I just think it's absolutely ridiculous that one of the most exciting young sides in the comp gets one friday night game in the last two seasons, yet a team of VFL players is already having their second this year and Carlton who won the spoon last year has had a heap as well.

It's about supporters man, not enough make the effort to go to our games, particularly if they think they are going to lose. So putting us on prime time isnt going to happen. Hawthorn and Essendon will draw big crowds because of who they are, simple as that. Round up everyone we know and drag them to dee's games for the rest of the season and we might get 1 or 2 shots at a prime time slot. But while supporters continue to say thinks like "its cold and we're playing hawthorn so im not going" we are never going to get those slots.

Taking pure hate out of the equation, then it is in this order:

1. Freo (Since Ross Lyon)

2. Daylight

3. Carlton, Melbourne (2014) or Richmond (who are just insipid and always in prime time slots)

    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
