I'm team Jack. I love his attitude, i love his desire, i love his aggressive nature. I think it takes a while to be a good captain, and i think he can be that, he has plenty of footy left in him and i think he will thrive now that there is no Nathan Jones, it's his capatincy now, Max might join, but its his.

 

Go back and watch his finals in 2018, coming off hardly any gametime or prep, he was huge. 

Watch his game vs West Coast 2017. Pretty much willed us across the line in that last quarter

    I heard Gawn on SEN late in the year say he personally had his best pre-season ever last season but that is no good if he can't bring the rest of the squad with him. I'd expect there will be more pre-season catchups amongst players this year than ever to prove a point.

    I'm glad Viney didn't take Petracca or May they would be to buoyant.

    Fully agree re above, he'd also missed around 6-8 games earlier in the season with his foot and this was his second or third game back. He was also very good in our finals campaign last year. I feel is if Viney has been holding himself back a bit partly to manage his foot but also to build some continuity in his fitness base and conditioning over several seasons.

    Petracca and Salem are currently on a training camp in the US. Kyle Dunkley has just joined them.

    Saw recent photos of Salem and Trac and both looking in absolutely ripping nick.

    Pre-season is on and we are training the house down!!

    Seriously does beat the morbidity reading through Demonland late last season though.

    If guys like Salem and Trac can get that extra bit of fitness and physical conditioning, watch out for the mighty Demons in 2020.

    Nothing story but it is the off-season

    So I went to see Zombieland 2 (7.5/10) at the Smithfield Cinema north of Cairns last week. Shopping in Woolies afterwards and the bloke walking past me In aisle 3 looks like the co-captain of the MFC. He was out of context so I don’t pay much attention but he bobs up again in aisle 5 and I have a better look and he is a dead ringer for Jack but he looks a bit too much like he has been in the top paddock for an AFL footballer (they always look slighter and skinnier than what you expect). 
    Turns out it was him and I’m glad I didn’t know or I may have started talking football to him and then I would have been embarrassed to hassle him on his holidays.

    Chook has been taking the [censored] all off season. Some of the posts are hilarious, but close enough to others to seem legit.

    It's fantastic for a young player like Kyle Dunkley who's been in the system for 5 minutes and yet is making every minute count. Type of dedication and commitment you need at ypur club.

    Can really see him starting off as that high half forward with bursts in the midfield. Bit like how James Harmes started hos career.

    If anyone says Trac is overweight they are either blind in both eyes or are so biased against him they should resign as a Dees supporter.

    Great signs of a useful 2 months since August. Now Trac can   practice his goalkicking from set positions  and not worry about his alleged fitness worries.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
