And if we lose?

 

I don't dare to think what the outcome on here will be mate.

If we lose tomorrow I will be so depressed.
I have been away from home with the Navy for 3 months and get home on Thursday just in time for the potential finals making showdown against the Cats.

The sheer thought of our season being over tomorrow really scares me...And I just can't shake the nerves about tomorrow.

Haven't been this nervous about a game in God knows how long.

Well as an omen, my CAT caught a MAGPIE this afternoon.

Just an unnecessary comment Saty. And I'm sure TSD can have whatever perspective he wants.

I honestly just don't think you have a grip on how much footy means to us who have grown up with it.

A bizzare and disrespectful comment.

Keep staying  classy Saty..

Boys boys!

No disrespect or offence taken.

I have done my Middle East time and it's all good.

Ive been in for over 8 years now so seen and done it all, not much makes me nervous these days.

I do appreciate the defence of me and the care from you boys though. does mean a lot as a serviceman.

I get more worked up over Demons games than anything I have ever done in the Navy haha...My girlfriend has asked me the same questions too as to why I get nervous etc. but I am in control of my own fate here at sea but the Demons is completley out of my hands which is why I get edgy.

I am actually on my way back from the worlds biggest military exercise up in Hawaii so I am so far from stress when it comes to work right now it's not funny.

Just keen to come back home in 5 days, see the girlfriend, have a beer, watch footy with my dog (The missus doesn't like being around when I watch the footy)

That means you don't understand.

 

Gee chap, I would love us to make finals this year, but if we don't I won't be slashing my wrists any time soon.

I think the team we have picked tomorrow should give a good showing, hope that we play with enough intent to win and win well, I will go along and watch, remembering to note every single mistake an MFC player makes, giving me some ammunition for the Changes against Geelong thread next week

If we don't play with intent or treat Carlton lightly we may get beaten and deservedly so

FWIW I agree that it seems stupid to bring in players at this stage unless it is to rest others (Cats seem to have done this). I rate Viv but am clearly in the very small minority on this site. He will not be at MFC next season and I think that tomorrow may be an audition for another club. His form in the VFL is outstanding and his selection is reward for that effort. Even Roos rated his form as fantastic. 

Agreed he has been in excellent form at Casey Samael. No argument from me there

If we win by ten plus goals tomorrow, the bringing in the Weed, ANB and Mitchie will seem inspired!

The range should be 8 to 10 plus regardless more than likely CBD. Aside from Harmes and Hulk's recent form, my main concern was Mr Vince who I really think was in much need of a week off to re-charge the batteries for the Cats game and a potential finals campaign afterwards. Has been serviceable but nowhere near the form he was in during the most part of the season. Was really hoping the FD would manage him this week. Ideal opportunity missed.

Bernie Vince's gameagainst Port Adelaide was just about the best he has played in months.

Agree with you Chook.

But also the suggestion to rest Vince for potential finals would mean he would play one game in three weeks given the bye after rd 23. Or if we don't make the finals, he'd be rested one week before the end of the season. 

In any case, Vince himself apologised to Roos after the GC game for his very poor performance and turned it right around. He doesn't want or need a rest.

    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

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
