Couldn't agree more....

We better [censored] turn up next year 

To be honest, such is my disdain from our effort throughout the entirety of 2019, i'm really going to enjoy the absence of AFL for these next 6 months.

That was a year that felt as long as 2013. One good win against the swans at the scg when I thought... ok, now we can start. We didn’t. One good qtr against the bombers when I thought...ok now they’re clicking. We never did. One stupidly close win by a point in the final second... but that didn’t really count as a good feeling because it was against the bottom side who lost 19 games straight. Shocking run with  Injuries then more injuries... then a backline formation, game style, that made us look like amateurs. Then injured players re injuring themselves because we played them too soon. Continual and systemically Horrible kicking for goal that regularity cost us games and a miss after the siren as if to just add salt into bitter wounds. 2019 can just [censored] off fast.

Will never forget sitting in a hotel bar with a colleague watching the Melbourne vs Adelaide game.

We're 30 points up and looking ominous. I turned to him and said, "They will break my heart tonight." You could smell it.

That loss was the end of the season for me.

Got the poor ending it deserved i suppose. The year's high was Jordan Lewis kicking a soccer goal on the goal-line after bodying his opponent and Preuss kicking 2 out of the ruck against Sydney. And the GWS win over Brisbane & Collingwood.

Tough loss to the Eagles today but at last it looks like we’re a professional outfit and won’t drop our bundle one season after making a prelim. Bring on 2019, at least we should definitely make the finals two years running. Go Dee’s!!

Cheer up everyone! The stores are full of Christmas goodies and Christmas trees, as well as hot cross buns. Nearly three months of Xmas carols to look forward to. Then we have daylight saving next week. So much to love. NOT.?

A terribly disappointing and frustrating year.

I remember 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2007,2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

2017 was pretty disappointing too just missing out on the finals.

I hope the Demons players and coaching staff are determined to make amends  in 2020.

Otherwise more heads will roll...

 

This year's Melbourne Football Club AGM will certainly be interesting with lots of angry Melbourne supporters.

 

However, we need to discuss effective solutions to fix this mess.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
