Gee this is a game I'm so nervous about. We should beat Nth but for some reason we cant beat them the past few times. If we are to make finals and keep ahead of the teams below us this is  a must win. Its time we beat nth.

No change is nice to see. Ben Brown is a danger and must be stopped. Nth would have to be fired up with all this tanking talk, but we just need to have a good win and if possible boost our percentage. 

also no injuries or no suspensions please boys. Just get the job done.

Obviously, the anti-Wagner messages posted here aren't coming to the notice of the selection committee... they seem to rate him for some reason! I'm (smugly) pleased to say I've rated him from the first time I saw him train in the red & blue

Or trying to pin point bullet passes in the wet or switching into centre have been a problem in the past.

@Rodney (Balls) Grinter - 2 things:

1. If you buy a membership to Demonland the ads will disappear and @Nasher gets to buy a new server (it will make things so quick!)

2. The ads are 'smart' and by that I mean they will show you what they know you want to see based on your previous search history. Just before I had to log in a minute ago I had a look at the ads given to me and I saw Crust (ordered a pizza from there two weeks ago) and an ad for the specific computer I bought yesterday.

So if you are seeing dating sites, don't blame Demonland!

Search your cache, you know it to be true!

The North team fielded is slooowwww. Swallow, Gibson, Cunnington, Zeibell. Very one paced that midfield 

Also a good wet weather side in heavy conditions

Who is in and who is out then.

My guess if true 

gawn out for pedo 

jkh out for Maynard 

all depending on weather probably don't want to risk gawns ankle if wet and Maynard is another brute that might suit the conditions better than jkh, although it would be surprising as goody is a straight shooter when it comes to selection

He might feel more at home, it'll probably have a bit more of a suburban footy feel to it which is what he's been doing for the last couple of seasons. 

Hope he is able to put in a really good game, like many here I just want to see him back playing regular AFL footy. Whether that's in Red and Blue or not I actually don't mind, but let's see how he goes this week. 

Also I'm not feeling like this is MFCSS but I think it would be a mistake to take North lightly here. We definitely did earlier in the year and they got the jump on us, I know we've developed further as a team but for the first bounce we should bully them around like teams have done to us in the past. At 3 quarter time I want to see us with a big score and cruising comfortably. 

Few points:

1.  I want to see Jack as a MFC AFL footballer first and foremost.  I don't care if he is perennially on the fringe, but as far as I'm concerned, he is one of ours.  I think there is a lot of mutual loyalty there to repay, for the club for what Jack has gone through with us and for Jack from the club keeping him on for so long through all the injuries.  I wouldn't begrudge him as such if either he or the club decided he was beter as a regular at a building club like the Lions, GC or something, but it's certainly not a preferable scenario by any means.  I'd think and hope that Jack would rather be on the fringe with his mates at a successful club, than a regular at a struggling club, from his perspective I would think he's been there done that and deserves to take some part in the success I think and hope that is on the door step of the MFC.  The ultimate would be for him to become a premership player at the MFC, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves;

2.  I think any game is a potential danger game for any club, even the strong ones.  With our record against North I'm also feeling aprehensive, but really do feel the time is right and team is mature and good enough that we should just get the job done.  Windy conditions in Tassie are different, bit we played in them last year and did ok, if it wasn't for giving a 60 odd point head start;

3.  First game this year we physically took it up to North from the first bounce, but I think that distracted us from playing our game and let them bully us on the scoreboard.  We play a physically hard game naturally now, so we just get on with the gamr in a professional manner, put the scores on the board and come away with the four points.  No point in burning too much energy or getting too worked up and getting players suspended over that Norf trash;

4.  What does the MFCSS stand for?  I mean I get the loose idea what it means from the numerous contexts I have seen it in, but don't understand the explicit acronym.

It'll be a typical Hobart day, cold, grey, windy, but relatively dry.
I wouldn't mind some rain, Will somewhat neutralise Ben Brown and his telescopic go-go gadget arms with a slippery footy but hey, Our side looks bloody deeeeeeeeee-licious.
Expecting a lot from Hibberd tomorrow, we didn't have him earlier this year and he has been insanely lethal coming out of that backline, I wouldn't be surprised if we see him and Nev in the AA squad of 40 and even the 22.

In my humble opinion our run and carry off half back will be key tomorrow.
Hunt, Hibberd, Frost...those 3 fellas love taking on their oponent and I have rarely seen them beaten in a foot race this year.
Nifty Neville Jettas magic tomorrow will need to be turned up to 11 and I expect a great win.

All past (current) records aside, we'll win by 8-10 goals. North won't get close.

North almost always get the jump on us in the first quarter.

2015 they kicked 7.4 to our 2.0 in the first, and went on to win by 35

2016 they kicked 8.2 to our 2.2, and went on to win by 5

Round 9 this year they kicked 6.7 (could have been a LOT worse) to our 2.5, and went on to win by 14 

Stating the bleeding obvious here, but if we can stick with them in the opening quarter tomorrow, we are well on the way.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
