This will be my only coverage of the game here in downtown Murmungee.

Hoping that the retrospective coverage from Demonland will shield me from  or prepare me for the worst and the best.

 

GO DEES

Brodie Smith a late out for the Crows, replaced by Ben Crocker.

No late changes for us.

They're on the tank. Look out for some strange moves.

My MFCSS still says we're one of the only teams that could lose to a team that is tanking.

I hope we smash them.  I don’t think my aging heart will take it if it’s close all game with a see-sawing last quarter.  I have a bottle of JD ready just in case.

And one of the only teams who almost won on the tank. ?

That late out makes it an incredible 9 changes for the Crows.

I know we are Melbourne but not even we can stuff this game up.   Lock in the 4 points, folks.   Its gonna be a great night.

We need a forward line to win by that much Sku.

Trac to kick 5 and we'll win by 5.

At least Tomald won't be in Harmes' or anyone else's way.

I’ll be shocked if we lose this.

Ultra professional, well coached, trustworthy sides such as Melbourne would never lose a game to a 0-9 side.

That being the case we will get thrashed !!

Their side looks pretty good on paper. However, no Sloane or Crouch will really hurt their midfield. It's ours to lose, I can't see it happening, I think they're on the tank also. Even if we win, I'm still going to be looking hard at the fundamentals and execution of our game plan and cohesion, lets see if Stubborn Simon gets the lads firing.

Y'know Febes, I'd love to agree with you because this makes sense.

Two things worry me, and I know that I am not on the slow side: firstly, stubborn Simon will be responsible for taking out of the team - or substituting players' onfield time - to disadvantage that cohesion of which you speak and secondly, it has occurred to me for a longer time than I can tolerate that Stubborn Simon does not communicate well with many of his charges - particularly amongst the playing group and I suspect amongst his FD team, as well.

It is because of this relativity in his role as Head Coach that I remain, week in-week out, very concerned about that game plan (whatever it is) and how he is going to transmit the message to the players with clarity, intent and measurements to observe its successful progress across the game. He does not appear to be a 'feedback' type at all, certainly not a game modifier based upon visual and play observations and requirements. How in the name of hell can he relate these necessities to the players (or 'fire them up')?

By the way, Febes, welcome back.

Dry night, Petracca should bounce back and dominate. 30 touches and 2 goals

Fritsch, Melk and Harley in for good ones too

Harley has been “handy” most matches he’s played this year, I’d really like tonight to be his breakout match for the year. 2-3 goal, score involvements, clean kicks. Give him confidence for the rest of the year.

My steam driven technology, erratic NBN cover, intellectual laziness and general disaffection with paying for private coverfor what is free for most dissuades me from watching and I can't be tossed going upstairs to listen ABC so appreciate any and all comments here.

i have found it good in the past as the emotions of Dlanders are displayed as visibly as if at the match.

Do look forwa d to meeting a few of the posters in real time at the G, Redlegs gatherings

GO DEES,

DDoes my enthusiasm come through as genuine enough.

Im even forgoing Mad as Hell for this version of entertainment.

We will easily win this game by 400 points and then lose every game for the rest of the year

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
