If there's a single lesson to be learned from this round so far, it's that you should never rely on the results of other games. You have to get the job done yourself.

Would that be the first time a reserves team beats their seniors team?

Let’s be honest here, we’ve played one good quarter and that’s it. Disappointing. 

Bring this slop the next 3 weeks and we won’t make finals.

2 goals to one that quarter... getting worse

Getting worse or nothing to play for? We've won. We've got an unassailable percentage. We have 3 tough games coming up. Why go for the kill?

Sloppy. I want to see us put the foot down in the last quarter.

We need to be sharp to beat the Swans.

All well and good to be miles in front and obviously I am happy about that but we need to develop a real killer instinct mentality and should be 100+ in front now.

I’d rather us keep the momentum going and build this percentage than worry about the probability of a potential injury. Foot down. This footy won’t win next 3 weeks. Oliver and Brayshaw freaks as usual

Goody looks nonplussed in the box late in that quarter.    My armchair emotions are a bit more outlandish.

Look at the end of the day I’ll take an 80+ win with no injuries. That said I hope Goodwin does give it to them a bit, some bizarrely stupid decision making and a massive ease off of pressure. 

I swear since the seven commentators gave TMac a big pump up of his set shots he’s been 50/50. Really should’ve snared that one from a great mark. 

Anyway 20min of footy left to leave the suns a mess for next week.

Unassailable percentage? Cats play Suns and Dockers at home. What do you think they will gain in those games? We are wasting percentage again. Hope we out score them by another 6 or so goals this last quarter.

Too many want to coast when presented with an easy win. Why is This. Mac being outmarked by a midget.

You've summed it up Jaded.

One quarter if very good footy then rooting around against a injury ridden bottom side.

Yes we win. But how well have we played?

2nd best percentage in the comp with 4 less wins not enough for you?

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
