That's why I'm not fussed with Carlton overtaking us today. If this seasons going to be bad it might as well be truly shizen. Regroup over preseason with players ready to go on day 1, with the number 2 pick and an easier draw. 

That’s the way. Choose the soft option

that’s what The MFC does so well...

If North win... we are seriously bad

We are. The style of play hasn’t changed this year. Good teams can change styles quickly and go

Brad Scott and Bolton were ordinary Coaches.

At least we can take some joy from Collingwood being pummelled. That's always fun.

I was at the Richmond game today. A few things I noticed that stand out when watching sides other than us:

  1. Their forwards held marks so much more often than ours do. Whether it was across half-back when trying to clear their defensive 50, or in the forward 50 when it was congested, they had Lynch and Riewoldt (amongst others) actually clunking marks
  2. They also generally kept one or two forwards deep, generally having someone forward of the play all the time and allowing them to have someone leading up at the ball carrier
  3. With those leads and marking forwards, even when the ball wasn't marked when it hit the ground there was immediate pressure through the middle
  4. Their mids, when getting their hands on the ball, took a couple of steps from the contest before kicking

A shame we can't say the same thing about the bummers. 

But I hope Brisbane can win. I don't mind seeing them in 2nd spot.

Norf are being crucified by the umps here. I know the commentators are raving on about ill discipline but no question they're being stitched up

Lions getting an absolute armchair ride from the umps again. Free kicks now 25-14.  Was 9-8 at half time. 

Lots of marginal calls go to Lions yet the Roos have to get obvious frees only.  Dees would like that sort of treatment just in one game EVER.

Really. Two soft frees to Lions kills the game. Very soft. Unbelievable in such a contest. 

It would rip out Norfs heart.  If that to the Dees I’d be uncontrollable

Big statement but close to the worst umpiring of the year Bris v North

I thought Maxys free against was the worst free kick of the year...

But that one against Thompson really takes the cake. Yet another green maggot ruining a great game of footy by being completely incapeable of doing their job. 

Go get [censored] AFL you're a joke of a league

Horrific umpiring to get bris the win. 

GC discarded a player like Jared Lyons now they want a pick 1 pp. Get stuffed.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

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
