The Demons' good publicity wagon keeps rolling on... Neitz and Melbourne look to fire up in 2007.

Great story about the skipper as he nears his 3ooth game.

Yes, I'm fully aware that good PR doesn't necessarily translate into premierships but there's been a good feel about almost everything that's been aired or published in the media during the pre-season. Lots of positive articles about the stability and strenght of the club, its leadership and the players and we seem to be gaining the respect of the football world. No political scraps, few injuries, no discontented players or supporters. I hope the good news keeps coming when we start playing real games.

After looking at the article picture for the 1st time with the guy on the left in a yellow suit then the 4 on the right with a standed firemans jacket i thaught oh it's nieta and the vice captains in that order (which would have ade sence) and being a bit blurry it even looked a bit that way. Not until i had read the caption did I realise it was Brock in the yellow suit and the rest of the leadership group... maybe the age is getting a bit ahread of it's self... where was it writen Nieta said ""Two years. I said last year I'd have two more and that would be it, so I'm sticking with that again this year," he said. "I might still be saying that when I'm 40.""? oh thats right the same article... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Great story about the goals Neitz and the team have for the coming year

Although we are get exposure to the public, which is good for our profile, I hope that will all the expectation does not come back and bite us, and we play badly this year. But its highly unlikely.

Bring on season 2007 now, cant wait for it to start :)

Yes lot's of positive media at this time of year (for all clubs except Carlton) but I think we're pushing the Bohdan Bab?????? line a bit too much. Granted we need to be fitter than we have in the past but if I read another MFC article talking about his training regime! Thankfully this one didn't mention it.

I'm going into the 07 season with NO expectations as I have been gutted in the past. I reckon they will finish the year 5th...some room if they do well...some more room if they blunder!

Has anyone mentioned Aaron Davey signing on for another three years?

That's really the type of news I want to read about the club and not another puff piece about how one of our players is training the house down, having the best preseason yet and looking like an Adonis.

    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
