The G has not been our friend this year. :P

 

Last Time we were at the G, we won…and that was with Frost, Spargo, Garlett, and Hannan in the side.

That's a much more Richmond-esque amount of pace and it really helped us. As long as we select properly, the MCG won't be a negative for us any longer IMO.

I don't mind Sunday.  We can manipulate a loss if it suits us.

Cue the tanking investigation if we did, especially if we went on to win the premiership.

I could see the AFL taking a flag off us for such a move.

Happy with the timeslot, scared about the possible Sunday night heartbreak. Makes Monday that little bit harder.

In that scenario, all you have to do is drink a skinfull of alcohol Sunday night and call in sick on Monday.

I'm dreading that St Kilda v North game. Hopefully we have it stitched up by then. If we have to rely on St Kilda to beat or keep North's percentage down then St. Kilda would have screwed us twice in one year. *

* Yeah I know it will have been self inflicted but I have to blame someone.

At the beginning of the season we had  a game plan with three talls, which works really well at the docklands, it does not work well at the MCG. You need totally different game plans at both grounds, Jennings is paid good money how he  and the coaches can't work this out is beyond me.

It makes no sense for Carlton-Adelaide to play any time other than Sunday. Neither is finals bound so recovery time is irrelevant.

And we end up with a crowd-killing mid-afternoon Sunday time slot just to limit our take at the gate one more time.

Melbourne-GWS makes at least as much sense as Port-Essendon for Friday in a football sense. The Bummers could well be grounded by then.

Recovery time from the Perth trip is more important to us, than before a final, if we make it, as there is a bye before the first round of the finals, so Saturday game or Sunday game in the last round is irrelevant with regards to finals

Good idea but it would be nice to keep a few sick day bullets In the chamber for September ?

If we are finals bound on that Sunday against GW$, there will be a decent crowd at the ‘G

Late Sunday is perfect for us

Yeah...I had the brain in neutral there. Forgot about the bye.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
