Metricon with four games over the weekend.

Will be interesting to see how the surface holds up.

15mm predicted for Sunday and 45-60mm for Monday...lucky that wasn't Saturday and Sunday !

Cats and Pies for the first two matches

Cats showing that kicking skills reign supreme. They barely handball, always looking for short kick options.

Interestingly 4 of the top 5 teams have the lowest play on percentage. They mark, stop and create uncontested marking chains with short kicks.
Conversely we have the highest play on percentage in the league and are the worst team in the league over the last 18 months. Basically proof our gameplan is completely wrong and we need to slow down and hit a [censored] target.

9 goals in a row and they were playing ring a ring a rosie against us. They are making the Lions look like pretenders.

It sound like I've been on the whaky tabaki but if we make the necessary adjustments and clean our foot skills up we arent that far off.

Remember seeing a stat here last week. The team sitting second on the ladder has not won a game in 2020. The curse continues.

May be we weren't bad, just Geelong are very good.(i just threw up in my mouth).

Lions would be much better if they had any decent tall forwards.  Hipwood and McStay are very average.  If you keep Cameron quiet then you go a long way to beating them.

We have actually played some decent teams to kick off the year.  It's no excuse in terms of our skills and so forth, but I agree that if we can fix up the skills enough then we'll win more than we lose.

But are skills something that can just be “fixed up” or do skills = say natural ability that can’t be improved?

I honestly feel like we are the confidence building team. Teams comes up against us, the players in the middle give them enough of a tough run to make them compete hard but our skills and decision making is so bad that the other team ends up getting the win. They go on with confidence and play better, while we continue our trajectory of going nowhere.

You watch Richmond will hit some form now.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
