It is entirely 100% in our hands as to where we finish - even second, with double chance and home finals is possible .... in fact WILL happen if we win all our games.

So ...no excuses.

Every season is in our hands, we should win 22 each year?

i sense you are more of an optimist than me. We have two of the toughest games possible coming up and off our form this year we won’t win them. So we need to win the next two and squeeze on in 13.

Better this week than next. 

Let’s hope it doesn’t kick them into gear for next week. Sick of swans hawks cats!

If we want to win a flag this year, the Sydney win was the perfect result for us.
If we just want to Bradbury our way to an extra footy game this year, well then bad luck.

Bradbury plan is flawed because it's in our hands anyway. We need to win the two games. Win then and we're home. Our percentage takes care of the rest. We can't Bradbury it through.

What a great day. Bummers lose and the pies lose both by tiny margins. 

Ok melbourne team no pressure but if you can handle it tomorrow we can be in 3rd spot. 

Wow AFL I don't think we need zones and 6 on 6 and all that crap. This round has been great. Footy will fix itself.

Top 4 is well and truly open now. 

Tell you what if we can win this week & next our last two rounds will be epic games. Bigger than 8 point games if that's even possible

Well they honed their ' skills ' with a good win against Gold Coast so they're in form. !!!

Bradbury didn't fall over, which is what we'd be doing if we were to lose all our games.

Win 1 v Gold Coast and find 1 more somewhere (Sydney next week…equivalent to keeping out skates on the ice), and we're in barring some ridiculous set of mathematical permutations. That's the Bradbury route in my mind.

Wow.....thanks SWYL, that was a lifetime ago.

Happy to have the swans find some form, much better to play some tough games heading into the finals, test ourselves, win all (or all but 1) and we will have a good ladder position and more importantly a lot of confidence going into the finals

Think it’s 70 years since Melbourne played Tigers in a final. Maybe Bluey Truscott’s last game.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
