Yep, ideal result for us really. Would have spent a lot of petrol tickets and got the win to escape scrutiny and maybe rest on their laurels.

Haha Frosty showed why we were happy to get rid of him. Continues to run around like a headless Chook and butcher the footy with that last kick.

I hope we have learnt from this short chipping keepings off crap these mugs have served up over the years.

Put them in their place Dees.

Geelong are absolutely beatable next week.

They haven't looked that good in any of their three games so far. They don't play a style that traditionally scares us (i.e. they play slow), and Hawkins aside they don't have a forward line that scares me. They set up well behind the ball but the way we have moved the ball so far this year, I think we're capable of scoring against them.

Game played right to the last minute, big hits, injuries, hot day, extra day break, all the perfect ingredients of fatigue.

Beautiful.

Agree. I’m starting to feel a 4-0 season start .

[censored], you would have to start scrolling the record books for the first 4-0 start in MFC history.

I'd say somewhere in the 50's or 60's

Agree they are gettable.  Need to keep the speed in the game, and respond to their short kicking bs (that drove me nuts when we played them last year).  Dominate the forward half play, have better method going forward and use more speed and we can split them open.  Need to be disciplined as the umps love them and they are a bunch of ducking snipers.

1994. Which is also our last 5-0 start.

Edit: unless you actually mean our first, which was in 1897.

Oh frosty I was sad when you left but watching our backline and how they have started and seeing you do vital errors today I really don't miss you now. 

Obviously stopping Hawkins is so vital next week but confident May can step up. I'm hoping Jezza does not play. 

anyway it was a good game but dumb turnovers in the final quarter wrecked it for hawthorn.

They really know how to milk and play for free kicks. The bastards obviously train for it

Definitely Scott's influence (along with Selwood). They probably justify it by the 'whatever it takes' mantra

If Geelong employ the same rope a dope tactics against us we’ll win. We have a proper set-up now behind the ball so they won’t be able to counter. We cover them easily in the match-ups around the ground as well.

We will need to be ready for their s**those tactics though. They will duck, dive, pinch, poke and do whatever it takes to knock us off our stride. They really are a very dislikeable team.

Yep. They know exactly what they need to do to win, and they will push it beyond the limits 

(Watch the Guthrie Goal in the first Quarter) the new rule is far from perfect, the concept is great. But Guthrie exploited it to the max. 
They scraped through and got 4 points

Higgins out is massive, he’s the kind of player that tends to cut us up.

Higgins is done...he's had very little influence in the first 3 games, just a couple of nice cameo's.

Collecting his pension down at the Cats...at least it's not us.

No excuses whatsoever next Sunday 

We play hard and fast Footy for 4 Quarters, we win

IF we switched on 4quarters every week we would win every week.  Doing better but still a way to go.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
