Extraordinarily poor loss by St Kilda.

Were gifted the win at the selection table with all those West Coast outs, AND McGovern pulling a hammy before half time.

St Kilda, Essendon and Melbourne kind of remind me of each other.

Clean players that can kick and a ruck that hits the ball to dangerous spots, that was the difference 

Yes i don’t understand why Max can’t play the same way. Can’t these guys work out set plays during the week. 
I don’t understand Training at all anymore,  so much theory now.

Credit where credit is due. The resilience and work ethic of the eagles is something MFC must learn and develop ge I admire them. With so  many injuries and lose McGovern early headed by the saints and they fight back. That is the culture I want to see at Melbourne.

Nic Nat threatens to take the ball and kick it.

Makes it much harder to predict and defend. Gives their mids just that little more space

Gawn in the ruck tends to be traditional and predictable.

Jackson rucks Nic Nat style so fingers crossed

Mids coach: now gather round and we'll work through some scenarios. Now pretend I'm Max, and say I tap the ball to--

Viney: Ball? Someone say ball? GIVE ME BALL (he dives on the ball)

Oliver: NO GIVE ME BALL

Harmes: NO GIVE ME BALL

Viney: NO GIVE ME BALL

Jones: NO GIVE ME BALL

Brayshaw: NO GIVE ME BALL

Mids coach: *sigh*

A question.

If we were missing the equivalent players that WC were tonight, could we have produced a come from behind win in ****ty conditions, in a clutch game?

I refuse to answer such a hypothetical question ?

Fantastic result for our #Bradbury2020 plan. If Saints lose to GWS after we beat them then we’ll take their spot.

Not necessarily,  there is currently a 57 point differential in our percentage. Depending on how much Gws beat them we'd need to win both games by around 9 goals  combined currently.

The MFC tease continues.

How will it end ?

Surely the money has to be a dead-eye 55m Daniher bomb after the siren relegating us to 9th after we knock GWS off by 15 goals Sat night.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could somehow draft a player like Kelly with a pick in the twenties.

How far off is our list compared to West Coast, they have a heap of good players on the injury list but I still think they would thrash us.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
