Results have been good for us so far. We should be confident against the Swans and then play the Eagles with eyes on their spot on the ladder.

Then a home game against a team as good as us to have a home final...

We are definitely capable of it. Might need to come out of the huddle at 3qtr time tho...

It seems to me that the outcome of last night’s game really does demonstrate how close Melbourne is to becoming one of the powers of the competition. A fortnight ago, on Geelong’s turf, we lost b

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing him sitting in the stands with the rest of the punters during September.

The only reason there is talk about footy being dead is because the AFL has gifted teams like Carlton, St Kilda and Bulldogs Prime Time spots.

Not good but doesn't sound career threatening yet, if it was the media vultures (Barrett, McClure etc) would be all over it....that said i wouldn't rush him back this year

They keep flaring up. That is the problem.

So you think he may play only one more game as a result?

I have no idea how many more he will play, but i think it will be week to week management

Bud won’t kick 4 against us. He is playing against a terrible defence.

I think the thing we have going for us is being able to score big. Sydney simply don't score highly enough. Buddy kicked most of their score. Limit him to even 5 and make sure no one else bobs up and we should have them covered.

It's not clear, though, and that's the problem.

 

In the replay I was watching (real time from the initial TV shot) without slow mo or different angles it was clear to me the spin on the ball totally changed when it hit the post.

..but agree they need to invest more to make the right decisions.

A bit too Mickey Mouse at the moment.

4k GoPros mounted on top of the Goal Posts would be a good start. 

The angles the AFL use right now are a complete joke. It’s laughable. 

Who do they use for camera advice??

Feel free to do what you like. You have a differing opinion. 

I have had foot problems for over 50 years, so i am not a complete novice. 

That’s why i am worried

Third will be a horrible spot to finish. A likely trip to Western Australia - the second in a month - and then a potential return to play 5th spot - possibly vs Collingwood or Hawthorn - at 'home' - possibly again after one of these Vic teams played the same venue vs 8th spot the week before without having to travel. Finals format is flawed. 

We need to take it easy the next few weeks. And a tank may be on in round 23 if third spot is in play.

Agreed, 4th would be much nicer.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
