I remember the last time I was at Vic Park. I am sure it was 1992 when we were down the bottom half and they were 1st on the ladder. We won with Sean Wight kicking the sealer. Don't know the last time we played there but it was around that time. Considering going but it is a fair hike but for memories sake. All the venemous filth sitting in their grand stand was quite a sight.

Taking my nearly-4 yo girls to their first footy game today. Last night I presented them with their first MFC jumpers as my heart burst with pride on such a momentous occasion!

Make sure you sit amongst a heap of Collingwood supporters.

Your daughters will learn to hate the pies from an early age.?

Paxman and O'dea doing the damage in the middle. Phillips has been very good as well. Pearce dominating the ruck.

Well done Dees beating the Filth comprehensively. How good was O'Dea?❤️Pearce is a pretty handy footballer as well. Keep it going Dees I want to see finals.

Far better performance from the mids taking away the Pies style of play (they love to keep it in tight and march it forward). Pearce and O'Dea were excellent but the midfield group in general got the pressure and effort right.

Backline did very well although the Pies forwards aren't a big threat. Edmonson looks a player. Lampard took a step up. Liked Kemp at half back.

Forward line still not perfect but really good pressure and created chances. Hanks is a little beauty.

And more than anything it was a disciplined team effort keeping the ball to the dead side for 2 quarters in to the wind and then using the open side with the breeze.

Footy doesn't have to be pretty and playing the percentages is often what's needed. The Pies couldn't get it to the fat side or get anything going when they had the wind, they couldn't stop our girls hitting the open space when we had the scoring end.

If it wasn't for Brazill the margin would've been 4 goals more.

Yes Chantel Emonson looks like she’ll be very good.  Played well against Roos too, who look like the team to beat at this early stage.   L Pearce has started the season off really well, expect coaches votes again.  Mithen is a natural footballer and I loved Hanks’ performance.

Thought Cat Phillips was good today, particularly defensively. 

Best for mine were Pearce, O'Dea, Cunningham, Hanks, Downie, Mithen, Paxman and Cordner.

    TRAINING: Friday 6th December 2024

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th December 2024

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    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
