All this thread needs is a premature club mail out commemorating the occasion.

Hopefully our club isn't so starved of success they feel the need to release one of these

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.

Why start a post 'Top of the Ladder' before the game has been played? Melbourne has form in putting the cart before horses. Patience, let it unfold, if they are the real thing, they are the real thing. THat will be determined week by week. It has been a STRANGE season so far, topsy upon turvy and vice versa. Remember too, we would like to be September heroes for a change. March to July are one act preludes.

How normal Melbourne supporters are acting right now exhibit A:

Me to my dad: good news Port are losing 

My Dad: things are going too well... bad [censored] is going to start happening soon 

Me: yep

Don't you feel it Jaded? This is it. There's something in the air, and for the first time in 50 years it's something GOOD!!! Just go with it, because if you don't then it might not happen.

Enjoy the run... i certainly shall

The challenge always was in the second half of the season.

When I saw the draw I thought we could with luck go 8-3 or better for the first half

Brisbane in Alice is looking tough along with the Dogs game

Let's face it while we have had a few finals appearances the seasons themselves have been mainly excruciatingly close.

A little MFCSS brewing in me that such a great opportunity can be blown by us, I’d just love the boys to be on from the first bounce and smash any signs of an upset away by quarter time.

it wasn't pretty but it will feel better in the morning

Go Dees

our team should be really fresh for next weeks game, given half of them didn’t seem to warrant putting in too much effort (captain included).

“A lot” simply means we will struggle to put them away for most of the game by playing a lazy, selfish style of play.

I think I nailed it.

I also said today that McDonald wouldn’t play as a defender again and about 30 seconds later he was playing as a defender.

They talked the other week about how Jones has played nearly the most games with his team without his team never being on top. Now he has, they don’t want to talk about it. So used to the Demons being the whipping boys, they only want to produce negative news about the Dees.

    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

    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
