Storm are the best club in Aus. They are constantly successful in a state that is not for their code. Most years they lose great players and they do not miss a beat.

Think of who they have lost in the last 10 years and how well they have remained.

Great onfield success but have not really developed a following in Melbourne....almost no media coverage

Understandable perhaps but a lesson for the AFL

interesting article here on the role of ANZ Stadium in NRL.......seems that no one likes it

They have a big following in Melbourne.

And all the salary cap breaches.

Pleasure to hear Gus Gould having to praise the Storm...it must really be hurting him.

I'm surprised he didn't trot out the 'bleak city' jibe.  He's done that before.

I flew up to the grand final and it was so nice to sit there and watch your team win a premiership.  They are a phenomenal team. Bellamy is the best sporting coach in Australia. 

Hopefully one day i can celebrate a demons victory

He's probably right then.

Anyone associated with the NSW Blues would know bleak when they saw it.

A big storm fan. Go to quite a few games. They have a serious "no nonsense" approach. And they are fortunate to have sensational leadership.  

Cameron Smith - probably the best captain in any code in Australia.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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
