FMD! What a litany of disaster. That 148 flogging (not a jolly good flogging) by Essendon is seared into the memory. Worse than 186 IMO...

so sad that we have so many disasters to chose from that are candidates for the worst

My god we have had some horrendous results in round 2 over the years.. Each one so bad in their own way. Let's hope we are the sidr handing out a flogging for once!

As my posting on here shows, I tend the pessimistic view of the MFC. I certainly wasn't surprised at the performances against Essendon & Carlton last year, as I was expecting the worst leading into both games, especially the Essendon game.

I don't have the same trepidation about this week's game. I expect us to win and win well, although I can see the nerves coming if we are not in front at quarter time.

Our Round 1 wins in the last two seasons were "poor" wins.  Gold Coast were severely under manned and GWS played terribly.  Unfortunately the team took far too much baseless confidence from those wins and it was a train wreck the week after.  The talk from the club  leading up to last year in particular was very disturbing..

This time we had a good win in Round 1. And the talk coming out from the club is much more reserved.

Tipping a 12 goal win.

Im hoping for a big win to signal the end of the era where we weren't so sure of what we were going to get.

God I hope BenKen and Jakes inclusion reads more about keeping them hungry... I'd have Harmes ahead of BenKen (assuming tyson and kent are locks) I like BK and he can do the spectacular and has great pressure, yet drifts out of games and unfortunately his height is problematic... a la Nahas and even C.Daniel... Harmes can win his own ball in the air, but disposal is average -in my humble opinion at least.

Ben Ken my god we are scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Well Tysons a certainty, you'd think Harmes or Kent to take the other spot. Wonder how bad Maxs wrist is, Spence may get a run after all??

I must have missed this... I though he had some back tightness...?

How were Gold Coast severely under manned? They played a pretty strong team with Ablett and Bennell also in that team.

Hurt his wrist at training. Club still saying he will play though.

Ben Kennedy is a better prospect then Harmes in my opinion. Harmes disposal in the JLT series was on par with Paul Hopgood.

This could be the week we see the dual rucks experiment, if Max pulled up a little sore from his smashing of Hickey last week it might be s good time to bring Spencer into the fold. 

Having said that if he's fine I wouldn't want to mess with a winning team. 

In: Tyson, Harmes

Reports say he was close to BOG, let's give him a crack. He can play both ends of the ground (although I prefer in the forward line) and I'd like to see him rewarded for form.

First you have to get the ball.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
