You mean if a finals spot is on the line, they really try very hard to win? Do you think that would have helped us in 2017 and this year? 

It's hard to say. I'm no expert, but I think the 'trying really hard' approach might have helped us, but even if I'm wrong, it would have been worth a shot I reckon.

No chance the Dockers win this unless some freak storm hits Cairns. They can’t win it unless it’s a massive scrap. Dogs are so much more skilled.

I know Freo are trying to help us out but they didn't need to mimic our gameplan of allowing the opposition to smother with ease, bombing into the F50 and not stopping the opposition when they get a run on.

Where the phark is both tabernar and Walters? Kiss on the knobs the bulldogs.

The Dogs have had a dream run this season. To finish 7th is not that much of an achievement given their ridiculously soft travel schedule.

A storm would have been handy tonight.

There is still a half of football to be played. You can only imagine what is going through the minds of the Melbourne players and coaching staff at half time. 

Hopefully it’s something like “[censored] if only we learnt to win games we should instead of falling apart like a cheap suit under pressure”.

    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

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    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
