 No disputing that Nash. ..but you reckon he can match Brown in the air? Do you have any recollection of how Brown has torn up our defence in recent times? Fairly blanket comment by you that factors in nothing in regards to OMACs strength vs weakness 

Absolutely need to stop any easy delivery to Brown - he would one on one beat most defenders if he gets it put in front of him.

We can only hold him down with a team effort.

I know it's a bit late but havent had a chance to get near a computer but good on Adelaide for making sure Rance played 1 on 1 footy and had to have an opponent to look after rather than just let him do what he does best. 

Yes he had a good 2nd half but he was made accountable in the 1st half and I hope other clubs do this. 

Should we be throwing money at Lynch?

I spy 4 teams that are shyte. (Roos, Blues, Suns and Saints).  I expect to add Collngwood and FRE to the list before the weekend finishes (and hopefully a trounced Lions too!).  If you took an international guest to either of the games at Etihad, you would have to apologise pretty hard.

Expect the saints will bounce back, suns will develop, blues will pinch a few.  No easy games this year.

I agree re Roos, Blues, Saints and pies.

The suns however are a seriously talented team with some genuine stars. You can only beat the teams you go up against and so far they’re looking pretty good.

Carl and GC is a dreadful game ( not as bad as yesterdays though ) where they continually turn it over by foot and tackling pressure is near zero.

Surely the Honeymoon period is now over for Bolton, he should start copping a bit of heat now. 

No way. Carlscum are full of young stars that will take them to a 3peat. Their supporters told me that so it must be true.

Carlton are terrible, particularly without Kruezer, but the pressure that the Gold Coast midfield and forwardline have brought is what we need to emulate. It's Richmond-like. We were nowhere near this last week. We need to bring it all year.

The Suns are much better than last season, albeit Carlton we porridge today.

Gold Coast don't seem to be missing Ablett 

The absence of pre game prayer meetings probably gives them a chance to listen to the coach

Ironically, losing Gary Ablett may have cured the Suns of their individualistic culture.

Rocket did a lot of the cleaning out but Stuie Dew clearly had them playing brilliant pressure football.

Two boil overs in two days. Melbourne be wary tonight!

Not many orange people here at the MCG. Not many of anybody in fact.

Half the ground is still reserved seating so the pies make money.

Go orange men. It will be so nice watching the pies go down.... I hope

Oh dear that was absolutely terrible for young Phillips.

Broken leg kicking the goal post.

best thing to happen to them he leaving , even though he had really left last year.

they will improve without him , they will have to stand up themselves and not look for him all the time.

the kids will come on more

New favourite commentator. Nick Riewoldt. Insightful, thoughtful. He's dominating this commentary team at the G and they're throwing to him regularly.

    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’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
