It would mean a fair bit to me. 45 years of systematic trauma, mounting therapy bills, PTSD and ritualistic abuse; top of the ladder certainly counts for something. I've been conditioned to take any s

I think people underrate sides that we beat. I think Richmond will beat the Doggies. Richmond's pressure was really good for much of the game, but we were better. We should be the only undefeated side

So long as we are on the “right side” of MCG finals it doesn’t matter. If finishing 4th means we end up playing Port in Adelaide, then I rather finish 1st.

We will be 7-0 top of the ladder with the best % come Sunday afternoon.

I am already looking to next weeks game, Saturday night at the MCG vs the Swans who would love to burst our bubble.  They have been a bit wobbly the last two weeks but if they can beat Geelong tomorrow they will be up and about.

Geeeze this post could go south. 

It would be the most "Melbourne" thing ever to drop this game. 

Really hoping we have matured and have the game beyond doubt by half time. 

 

You're thinking of the old Melbourne. We don't talk about that Melbourne anymore.

Folks - I know we are all mentally scarred from the past decades of supporting this club but relax. 

all I’ve heard the last 6 weeks is - ‘it would be the most Melbourne thing ever to lose this game’

well we didn’t lose. So maybe we are a good team now. We will lose a couple of games but believe we are a good team.

Yup.

We have beaten Sydney once since 2011 and twice since 2006.   The only team left that still owns our souls, and beat us yet again last season when we were in the finals hunt.

If we win against north & are clear top of the ladder...is that the first time in Nathan Jones career that Melbourne has been  on top of the ladder ?

Yes he has never played for us when we are top of the ladder.

Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves, we have to win firstly. Out of interest what’s the odds for us going back to back?

Back to back? I want the 4peat Collingwood robbed us of in the 50s!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
