That's the way Goodwin has to Coach tonight. Be daring for the whole game

Try players doing different things (within reason of course)

Move the ball with some precision

Sorry isn't trying players doing different things called tanking

Surely you are not advocating a return to Schwabworld

No late changes

I/C Bench Dom Tyson, Mitch Hannan, Tomas Bugg, Josh Wagner

Tonight will be interesting and against a top side like the crows it will tell us where we are at.

And Tom Bugg had better do something good tonight.  Hes taking Billy Stretchs spot in the team who we know will give us something especially on the wide open Adelaide Oval. 

Probably needed to play a shut down on Sloane with Vince i wld think tracc. If Sloane was allowed to roam, i doubt a swap with Stretch would give us a better advantage given the impact vs Sloane

Looking at the lineup on paper this is a far stronger team than any we have taken over there in at least a decade. I'm expecting a beating but the supporter in me not subject to MFCSS thinks we could actually do this. After all we won over there with Chris Dawes and Dean Terlich in the side

I can see it now. Bugg niggles all night and gets a bunch of disposals, while Adelaide score 3 goals from his errant disposal.

Adelaide will probably score that and more from our errant disposals regardless of Bugg or no Bugg chook. One of our worst last week in this regard was our most experienced Co Captain

We have nothing to lose tonight. I think a lot of so called 'experts' have ignored just how much hasn't gone our way this year. Injuries, suspensions, off field tragedy.

I hope the trip really galvanises the group and they just come out and have a red hot go. That's all I want. Desperation and a want for the hard stuff.

Go Dees!

We also had nothing to lose last week HBT, or the matches against Freo, the Cats and the Toiges

I hope we keep the forward line open and don't just bomb it in. 

There's worse forward lines going around than Watts, Weid, Garlett, Petracca and Kent.

I think Robert Smith said it best;

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me

Good points ET, and it's up to us to make the most of it.  We don't have the marking power, but if we can provide a contest then it gives us a big chance at ground level.

i suppose you still have  a 1hr25m to get legless then you can snooze through the disaster

Currently 3/4 pizzed as was my plan.

Depending on how the game pans out, I'm only a couple of shiraz from either peaceful oblivion or joyous drunkenness

Something relaxing about going into a game with no expectations.

I actually don't mind Hogan not playing, I think it frees up the likes of Watts and Petracca. It's the lack of a ruckman that hurts the most as Jacobs is excellent.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
