Picking from a what is good for MFC viewpoint there are several interesting matches.

If Adelaide could bet the Bombers that would be fantastic.

As for the others depends if you are an optimist or a pessimist. Believing us to be clearly top 4 material ?I'm going for

GWS

North

Port

Dockers

Eagles

Bulldogs

Hawks and Swans to draw

And Storm to thrash the Broncos !!

Would prefer a Suns win tonight.  Think it helps us more, as they will likely run out of steam in the seasons 2nd half anyway.    Dogs one of our main competitors for a spot in the 8.

really, dogs should be a top 6 side

they've disappointed since the surprise premiership

sigh...i'd love a surprise premiership...

Half Time and neither side has impressed at this point in time. 

The other thing that’s not impressing is the rain and the predictions that it’s going to hang around the Coast for the next few days and affect our game on Sunday.

 It should also impact our team selection and I’m thinking Nathan Jones is firming for a return. T. Mac also still a chance as well.

I’ve really enjoyed the Suns v Dogs game. 
English has gone from a bag full of chocolates to the boiled lollies this week. 
I really enjoy seeing Libba back to his best, tough little nugget and just keeps bobbing up for stats and goals. 

The ground is going to struggle with the weather on the way.

I'm sorry but I simply don't rate the doggies.

They've got a gun midfield with a forward line that only works on some weeks.  When it's off they can't score at all.  Granted, the weather didn't help later in the game, but at they can be totally impotent inside 50.

Also, anyone feel ill when Billy Gowers marked the ball with about 30 seconds left and then turned it over with a shocker of a kick.  I swear he could have been wearing a Melbourne jumper when he did that.

100%. He had players everywhere or he could have chewed up time. Instead he did his Angus Brayshaw impersonation and shanked one into the corridor and hit the GC on the [censored]

I'm getting really really really REALLY tired of the commentators fawning over Rankine!!  Even when he kicked behinds in the last, they were making it seem like it was part of a cunning plan! (did love his mark though)

Me too! He's kicked 6.9 for the year and has burnt some team mates

I think the novelty will wear off pretty quickly with him. He can have all the tricks in the world, but eventually he will have to tow the line for the team and he will be watching from the stands

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
