The forecast is for some rain in the afternoon which shouldn't worry us greatly. In fact, for a club that has stood on the edge of the abyss so many times in the past ten years, nothing should worry us.

The experience of being in contention this far into the season is something we should savour. This is a glimpse into our future.

Win. That's all there is to it.

Win today and the Melbourne Football Club stays alive until the very last game of the season. That's all a supporter can ask of their club.

Feeling both excited and nervous about today. A 10 goal win would mean a massive build up to the Cats game however I feel like the blues will want to make a statement. 

Need big games from Oliver and Petracca  with Hunt to take out the rounds rising star nom.

A 100 point win would do us quite nicely today Boys!

This game will tell us a lot about this team. 

On paper we should win, 

To stay in the season we must win.

To give us every chance to make the finals we must will well.

 

This will tell us what players have the mental fortitude to make it in a good side, this will show us which players will drive us to the next levels. Our attack and desperation at the ball and the player with the ball should be much higher than Carltons.

Our willingness to help out our defence should be at its highest it's ever been.

Hope the perm is under wraps until game time!

It should hold up, I got the hairdresser to make it extra permanent.

I have woken up with a mixture of emotions this morning - excitement, nervousness, wonderment (that we have got through this strange season and still might be finals contenders) and above all hope that the stars are aligning and the outcome is positive for us all.

I am off to do some yoga now where today's intention will be not about world peace but for a Demons win.❤️?

My Collingwood supporter husband is coming along with me to the game decked out in red and blue - he dislikes Carlton immensely so he wasn't hard to persuade.

Go Dee's ❤️?❤️?

Sadly I am unable to attend today's game Ethan, or I would have awarded you the honour of supplying my alcoholic beverages pre, during and post game.

How disappointing for you!

However, if you see a toothless bloke in ill fitting Demon clobber you should buy the sheila he is with a drink.

Any statement the Blues might want to make pales into insignificance compared to the one we're trying to make this week and next.

Yes, Ethan made every effort to alert team management that he was going to p!ss all over a gas station.

I hope his "credentials" are up to snuff.

Biggest game in a decade.  

We must win...  it will make next week and the lead up the Cats game amazing...  everyone will be cheering for us to make the finals and knock out boring old North.  We will get so much positive press all week and we will officially be a footy club again.

Come on Dees get it done today!

Just focus on our attack on ball, man and spread and the win and % will look after itself. It would be very easy for a young side to take in the plaudits of this week and already have an eye on Geelong (as some on here have) or focus on winning big rather than the process of winning. Another good test for our senior leaders to lead the way.

Let's remember it's (possibly/probably?) Roosey's last game at the G.

if nothing else, Dees, turn it on for us to thank the man!

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
