Well that last few minutes of Q3 with Collingwood conceding 3 goals in as many minutes was reminiscent of the Melbourne of old. 
Another nail in Buckley’s coffin?

Wow that was some quarter. 5 goals to 2 behinds. Dom Sheed just went nuts. 

I know he is exciting but do the commentators sometimes go a bit over the top with Nic Nat. I mean Grundy tapped it straight to Nic who ran and bounced it and JB went wild like he did something spectacular.

He ran! And bounced it! And it NEARLY came back to him!!

The frothing over him is extraordinary - good tap ruckman and wins some exciting clearances once or twice a game...but that’s all

He was robbed of his best years with knee knacks - I expect if he hadn’t been so he would’ve developed into a lot more of a threat around the ground

They get paid for talking a whole lotta gobbledygook.  BT doing the same as we post.

The Eagles are playing a side that includes Allen, Kennedy, Darling forward. Nic Nat and Vardy in the ruck. Brander and Waterman on the wings/flanks. McGovern, Barrass and Rotham in defence. That’s 9-10 key position players.

Is it my imagination or did Maynard skin some stinky old wombat road kill and stick the pelt on his head?

5 goals to Allen and Darling.  Been while since a Demon kicked 5 in a game.. maybe not since McDonald kicked 6 in 2019.

Well with Fritatta out somebody can stand up..

I saw this on the Brad Hill thread on Bigfooty and just had to post it. 

This is possibly one of the worst individual efforts I have ever seen, and it's a very good example of why the Saints loss to Richmond means nothing in the context of the ANZAC Eve game. No one in a Melbourne jumper is going to do this next week, that's for damn sure.

 

 

Blimey that is one of the single worst efforts I’ve seen, and I’ve watched some truly disgraceful efforts for Melbourne players in the past. The damning part to it isn’t that he dropped the mark it’s how quickly he gave up, he’s having a terrible start to the year.

Why do we need to have the umpires mic'd up?  Bloody irritating especially the one with the ridiculously deep "STAAAAND"  voice.  Somebody shoot me

They'll get absolutely torched by quicker sides, especially those who have talls who can bring the ball to ground consistently and not get outmarked by the WCE talls.

I have the utmost fear of West Coast after witnessing that harrowing day in 2018 first-hand, but I think we can legit bring it to them with our list and gameplan even over there.

Ha I see Scomo is there. Been to more afl games in the last 3 weeks than he ever has. He'd still be learning on what's going on.

Well, I guess that makes 3 Liberal MPs in WA today.

Seriously, that bloke makes me sick.  Such a phoney.  Wouldn't know what an Ausie rules ball is from a soccer ball.  Sort of guy who would pretend to be interested in all the things you are just to try to look popular and hang with the cool kids.

The Libs are hated at the moment in WA. The boos he got when on-screen were noticeable.

The pies haven't been terrible but are 1-4. They can forget about finals this year. Could the wheels come off from here? 

GWS must be rubbing their hands together with glee at the thoughts of where the pies first round pick will fall. Could be a Top 5 selection. Wish we held that pick.

Not exactly the right thread, but am I alone in thinking that it’s crazy that no match is being played at the MCG on a Saturday afternoon?

I think its a one off due to the AFLW grand final which starts at 2pm. No mens games scheduled to avoid over-shadowing the womens big day. Fair enough i reckon.

Any other other Saturday and i would agree with you.

Hoping the Suns can ambush the doggies today. And i wouldn't mind seeing Port come unstuck either although the downside will be a week of the media pumping Carlton's tyres.

Dogs and Port are both the real deal. No way either is losing today, as much as I also want to see it happen.

I'm not confident either. Neither the Suns or Carlton have been at all convincing.

More it would be a nice surprise to see our direct rivals lose a game.

Ah, of course. I’ll have to think about something else to be annoyed at. 
Yes, the out of bounce deliberate rule is laughable

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
