That’s a great story:

First game.

First final.

First Grand Final.

 

He’s efficient.

Hard to believe that a club can be in the GF nine years after its inception and of course been in the finals for three years before.

Out of interest who is credited with their now brilliant policy of draft young and trade. Looking at GCS and where they are you have to give it to them.

West Coast won within seven years of entering the comp and Adelaide within six.

Trying to see some positives from an MFC perspective but staring at the GC priority pick and their Darwin zone it's hard to see.

Watching the captains/coaches press conference today, I’m struck by the vast chasm between theirs and ours when it comes to confidence, eloquence and overall intelligence. 

We’re not going to win a premiership until we have that kind of leadership. Right now, we are not even close.

So true. I wonder if a new Captain will be announced next week?

Well it will either be close or Richmond will blow gws out of the water. 

I know we have spoken of scully but I wonder how shiel feels today as well 

I just think how marlion feels today waking up. You think of the legends who never won a premiership. Lockett, ablett skilton and this guy could just waltz in win a flag in his 1st ever game and get life membership

There's a touch of arrogance with the Tiges bringing in Pickett for his first game.

No matter what the party line the 2 boys who were pulled from a GF last week must be feeling it.

They not only didn't get to play in the GF, they didn't get to audition for a spot in the big one.

Must ruffle some feathers.

If GWS have them covered at half time I think they (GWS) will run away with it.

Richmond let teams get head starts and they have a belief in their ability to run them over.

One day they are not going to come back.

I hope it's this one...

I think the Giants will win today. I used to hate their guts with a passion, as their inception and player drafting coincided with the time we needed it most. However, I now see a team that plays for each other and is passionate about the guernsey. They seem to have hit a sweet spot with the guys who have stuck with them on their list.

I'm doing what I did last year as I can't bare to watch it properly.

I'll watch from three quarter time onwards if it's close. I expect Richmond to win easily. Urgh.

Sounds very much like you're more hopeful than anything else, mate.

Richmond win it unfortunately.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    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
