What’s the overall standard of matches like so far?

i know not all teams take it seriously, but it is vital for us. We have to wipe 2019 off the table. 
Beat Whorethorn next week and a trip to Perth becomes a challenge, not an evil nightmare

What's more, we have to start the season at full fitness to try to get the jump on WCE and GWS, who have had less preparation time and, in WC's case, injuries to key players over the preseason.  All of the top 4 from 2018 started sluggishly in 2019, hopefully we can take advantage of playing two very good teams early, whilst they're a few weeks off their best football.

For a chronic pessimist and whinger you have a charming vein of optimism. Congratulations.

Seriously, it's a compliment.

I am only pessimistic when the Club is a disgrace to itself. 
sadly that has been often, I actually get more angry when supporters get stuck into me for it!!!

I want to win Finals, always have  

I think the Club is serious this year  

Last year may be a positive force that has woken The Demon  

compliment accepted :)

The Freo v Blues game should have been scheduled in an adults only time slot. Gerard Healy has labelled the first half as a masterclass in butchering. Inexcusable misses from 15m out directly in front, can’t believe I sat through that. 

Thanks. I taped the game last night. Will now delete.

The result of the day was the Suns’ big win over the Crows which saw them catapult to the head of the JLT/Marsh Community Series ladder. The Demons now can’t win the competition.

^ If the Suns keep this up someone else will own the wooden spoon.  Early contenders:  Carlton, Adelaide or even Sydney...?

Carlton will improve this year LH but it could easily be one of the other two. My guess the Crows but that maybe because I hate them with rare intensidy.

Throw Freo in there as well. Swans, Suns, Crows, Blues, Dockers and Hawks would be my tip for bottom 6, Can raffle the order. In saying that, they are all more than capable of challenging teams on their day.

Swans seem to have embraced the “we are in a rebuild” mentality which should lock them in for close to the wooden spoon. Carlton looked truly awful against Freo but were missing a few and will get better throughout the year.

This is the AFL you're talking about. One will get pinged and one will get off. We'll be the ones that get [censored].

Although I do not know you Andy, given you are the Demonland revered founder, Captain and Coach, I have great respect for your work. I think though the MFCSS virus has got you hard. That’s about as negative as I’ve heard you. Hope you have stocked up on loo paper

Anyone see the incident between J Cameron and Lambert today? Lambert was left concussed after he copped a knee to the head. Some debate whether it was intentional or accidental.

Can only be cured (or alleviated) by a Premiership.

Contact from his knee to the Richmond player - definitely intentional.

Cameron wanting to make contact with his head - doubtful.

Carlton are a one man team. If they show as little as they have in the preseason then they’re in a spot of bother.

Yep.  And it's glorious.

Not to mention that two of their other better players in Murphy and Simpson are in twilight of their careers as well.  Happy for them to be a bottom four team for the next decade.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
