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.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
