Some people still have problems praising OMac !!! As Roos said he urged Frost and Omac when they were competing against LeBron and Shaq to bring the ball to ground. Not bad for an inexperienced pair !!!

Struggled to find a bad game amongst all of MFC. Some were not perfect, but a lot were terrific.

I agree TRengrove is a great versatile link in our side. We still have not seen the best of him .  And there is young Angus to come . Woopy dooo!!

If only they were playing on comparative players of the calibre of LeBron and Shaq. It was more like Hasheem Thabeet and Anthony Bennett. 

Weird how you only highlighted one "R" in Jack's surname.

I thought Chris Dawes was very good today, He did what he had to do and there is no doubt in  my mind that we look a better side with Dawsy in it!

Surprised Hunt only had 13 touches. He seemed to be involved a lot, particularly in the first half.

Hunt has a lot of involvements that don't show up in the stats the AFL give us.  I'm pretty sure the club does have them and are taking note of the number of defensive acts he commits each game.

A fan, but jetta's worst game. I believe he was sick. Regularly beaten today but picked up when game won. I don't think he should have played when we have other good players missing. 

VDB was pretty good. Possessions may not have been what some were but he is a good all round talent and does valuable stuff. A vital part of our depth in best 22

Premiership players all have weapons to contribute. Hunt has weapons good kick, can mark, good courage for a light body, but his weapon is his speed for both attack and defence. A couple of years and he will be burning.

I was waiting for that Old Dee. Glad I was so wrong. I bow to your better judgment.  Great win. Beating Collingwood TWICE in a season is a wonderful feeling. Cheers mate.

I thought Varcoe had the better of Jetta tbh. Jetta played okay but in most one-on-ones, he was beaten.

If he was sick then that makes sense...I would have expected him to struggle with Varcoe's pace at times but not to be beaten and out positioned in the air which is usually one of Nev's real strengths.

He got the ball about another 13 times but ran himself into trouble and was tackled each and every time.

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

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
