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 ?

What a lovely day in the Ranges, took the little lads out for some bike park/playground fun. Getting pumped for the game, come on here to check game day..... ppppfffttt who am I kidding I think we’ll struggle. Not enough cohesion with the season/players selection to date.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
