To Hell & Back: Episode 5

Recommended Posts

Those that knocked these doco's when they were first launched should have a rethink ... they are well done, are getting clicks which translate into memberships and sales, and provide fans with rare inner sanctum viewing the likes of which we haven't seen since 'Whiteboard Wednesday' with Cameron !!!

By God I’m pumped for Sunday fortnight. 
 

After watching the Eagles yesterday I’m confident we’re in with a very real chance of doing them over here in Perf.

That was a great insight into the club. The boys look united, hungry and most of all happy. 
Some pretty good ingredients right there.

Must confess I've never heard the term "nurry" before.  Where does it come from?

I wouldn't have a scooby Demonstone. Outback rhyming slang?

Fantastic finale to a great series. Kudos MFC.

 

Good Finish to an interesting journey. 
Jack was seriously peeved off after the vote, but after last year we needed a clean sheet. 
the biggest lesson to learn from last year i think, is that when Dave Misson announced he was leaving, he should have packed up his things, have a few beers and a meal with the club and leave. 
Sticking around for a full season after giving notice is never on. 
His mind was elsewhere, we were so not fit. Continually over run late in games  

We should go alright this year, but 17 other clubs will have watched these 5 parts as well  

How Tough are Demons?

Melbourne - We don't have to touch the nurry as much. There's our 2020 slogan right there. 

Taken straight from the teenage boy mother’s handbook

Stressful as hell. That desktop is a hot mess.

I know it's all in jest (I hope), but only Melbourne supporters could find a bugbear about a computer screen. Do you think Tigers or Hawk supporters talk that way?

A very good series that I really enjoyed.

the showed the amount of work that goes into supporting the players and building the team. It reminded me that there is so much more to a footy club than what we see at a game or on the training track. 
 

a good insight into the club and well done.

Really enjoyable 5 episodes. Great insight

Think goody handled the captain change really well and great how he addressed it front of the whole group would go a long way to helping Vin save a bit of face.

 

Super pumped for the year ahead. They've done the hard work time to reap the rewards (fingers/toes everything x-ed)

Good stuff.

The focus in the meetings on the enjoyment the players got from being -60 in possessions in a low-scoring practice match is good to see IMO.

Confirms yet again that the coaches watch a different game to us.

Do you mean the camera angles (with the behind the goals camera from the North game)?

The game must get pretty tiresome if you live in it with that amount of detail as shown with so many coaches and reviews and meetings and rules about where you should be once the ball is turned over at point A, etc.

As much as I love it I think that would ruin it for me.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
