Great gesture by Max on his 100th

The inspiration for today’s game is persistence and dedication. 100 games to Max Gawn - a terrific achievement after undergoing so much hardship with injury in his early years at the club. D

Think the most disappointing thing about this game so far for mine...

... is all those empty seats!

We'll get back on track. I have faith.

30 degrees at the MCG.... fitness will be a big factor in this second half

My MFCSS tells me we're not the fitter side.

Hope our skills make up the difference

Feels strange sitting at the G watching the footy and wearing a singlet.

Sorry Eddie, it’s not a very silvertail singlet either.

Cmon Dees, get your system back.

How many times have we seen an NQR Viney come back too early in the last few seasons?

Can't say I am surprised. We looked exactly the same in the JLT. We look very one paced in the midfield.

Still in it. Just need to start being a bit cleaner with the ball and get it back on our terms.

Off track may be part of the issue.  The Met off track that is.  

Imagine the prospect instead of a crowded train after the game, a bus ... how many will be needed and how many will be available.  

I know people who did not come for that reason.

We’ve had a great run with the umpires.

Thought they've been generally poor overall, despite the numerous rule changes and clarifications

If we can't win with them playing J. Watts in the backline then I'll be really worried. Only a kick in it and we've not played well with lots of the side down. C'mon lads lift.

Gawn should come out for the first ruck contest stick the leg in and win the contest. 

Im sure Goodwin will structure us back on track. 

Big big 3rd quarter coming up

18 frees to 8 our way. Once the eveners start getting paid we might find ourselves in some trouble. Our guys look very tired already and they are fresh. Not great after the first 15 mins. 

 

Time to lift boys 

It's probably even already from when we last played in Adelaide

Harmes just had a spew on the field when he came out after half time

That's a good omen he's sick to his stomach with what we dished up that half.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
