Almost forgotten the meaning of gameday .. I reckon if we actually display the speed and toughness evident in the selection, we will cr@p it in.

We will lose if we score the first 8 goals of the game.

Cats 12.1 = 73

Melb 8.20 = 68

It probably won't be far off. Hawkins to kick 5 straight, Fritta to kick 1.7.

As is almost always the case it'll be about which Melbourne decides to turn up. 

Yep and that’s why I start drinking bundy select vat now. 
 

It’s much easier watching the dees play with a few beverages prior to and during the game. ?

Cheers to everyone ?

Dees, by 32 points. New-look forward line very impressive. Vanders and Tracc give the Catty Puts the nervous Nellies. Danger off the field for medical reasons. Carna Dees.

One thing that will really annoy today, if Hibberd keeps kicking his long bombs to no one that seem to hang in the air forever, allowing the defenders to zone off.  Has he lowered his eyes ever ?

Not just Hibberd but we can't afford to bomb the ball at all...it plays into the Cats biggest strength...but spread their defence and they are in real trouble.

I hope we deploy melk as a lock down forward again, I reckon one of their big strengths has been stewards intercepting or at a minimum interrupting forward movement. I'd get melk to take him deep and away from contests as much as possible, without Taylor I think this is an area we could exploit

Following on from the above point. Stewart is key to their attack from defence, if it's not Melk then it has to be AVB. We cut Stewart out and we're a long way to winning this game.

Nice to see all the 'supporters' up nice and early, lovely day to be so [censored] miserable

Just watch the game, then we can have multiple pages of post game angst, no matter the result

I need to get me some of those rose coloured glasses McQueen. 

It makes everything the demons do on and off field so much better ?

I am going to, get ready to watch the game at local pub

Nice chicken parma, few schooners of summer able, hopefully watch an entertaining game 

A Melb win, looking forward to seeing AVB and Hannan, black, sad Nev is not out there, form dropped a bit

Nobody will die if we lose, it is only footy

I've tipped us. 

On paper they look very good, but I think if Gawn can get on top we should be able to control the game. 

My biggest worry is who is going to kick goals? Would love Tmac to kick a few, he needs some confidence badly

It’s a bizarre season and I reckon points on the board early is going to be more important than ever. 
 And ..... as one A Clarkson said , “ Geelong aren’t that good “ !!!!!!

Trouble is, we aren’t that good either.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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.
