Yep. We're just one good preseason away.

I love Gawn and I know these garbage articles are just fodder for the media and have to be done.

But Jesus if my eyes could roll out of head while I read the same thing each pre-season, I would have gone blind years ago.

Agree, I see a heading like that and no mater what content is in the article all I read is Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.  I know we need content on our website and we will see many over the next 4 months, hopefully come March April we can see something to be really excited about

Your reaction is the same as most Dees supporters.

The trouble with those words is they sound very hollow because they have never been backed up by deeds.

I would prefer if the messaging was different. Acknowledge past failures and shortcomings. Say we’ll let our footy do the talking when the season rolls around. Something other than the usual guff. I find it a little insulting tbh.

Yes its fluff but I do question the value of these pieces and why they have to be published at all.

Yeah agree, I’d actually prefer it if the club kept a bit quiet and Max just said, hopefully our actions will speak loader than words 

Leave it at that

I'd be happy for the club to can all the shop talk until March then drop a new documentary. Until then Max could talk about something he has a better handle on like jaffles or coffee.

Signal in the red flags.

The media knows exactly which club (clubs) to get outlandish delusional quotes from.

We are the gift that keeps on giving this time of year.

Reminds me of what they say in Brazil..."Brazil is the country of the future and always will be".

This was said to me 30 years 'Object oriented design is the way of the future and has been so for the last 10 years'.

Not quite sure why I am sharing that.

Anyway could I just say that I have been ready for success since 1965.  I think the team is too and if they dont get it they will go elsewhere.

This is talking the house down in preparation for training the house down. It's like a pre-season for pre-season.

 

Actions, Max. We're not interested in any words, unless they involve me winning Tattslotto.

I'm glad he's positive, and he should be as there are some guys that can seriously play in our team. Time to make something of it.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
