Only bad injury appears to be Tomlinson

Feel so bad for the bloke.

He has been playing so well.

His face says it all.

Not pretty! But we did the job as a good team does. Emerging superstars - Kozzi and LJ !!

If Kozzie and Jackson played in the snow they wouldn’t leave any footprints. Such balance and silk.

Very relieved. Good effort to overcome the early injuries and flatness from last week's exertion. 

I'm shattered for Tomlinson. He's been so good this year.

Can someone explain why we went down in percentage on the ladder??

% is points for / points against x 100
In order to increase percentage we would need to win by a greater amount than our current %. 
Any other result will result in a decrease in %

The longer the season goes on, though, the less impact an individual game will have on % though the principle remains the same.

The AFL were like “this win didn’t deserve a percentage boost”. They’re not wrong.

Shocking first half performance. As undeserved a win as you are ever likely to see

The story is Thommo’s injury. Cruel luck for the lad. Has big implications for our defensive unit for the rest of the season.

Good sides find a way. The gulf was evident in the end.

Shout out to Dr D for telling me I was “the problem” for predicting at halftime that we would still win given North have a history of dropping away in the second half. Which is exactly what happened. Keep up the stellar work Doc.

Today was a celebration of Dogga and Kozzie. What a draft that has already turned out to be. Both are stars rapidly on the rise and today we needed them to be. Especially with Gawn having a rare down day.

Fritta probably best on. Hopefully doesn’t miss too many weeks.

Clarry lifted when really needed.

I’m choosing to focus on the positive aspects in that we were challenged and ended up winning by 5 goals. Onwards and upwards.

I will take credit for this win. Wore a different MFC polo shirt today, thought I might mix it up a little. Changed back to my lucky MFC polo at half time and veiola!! You are welcome. ?

The more games we play, the higher the margins have to be to keep it as high

No

Our percentage going into this game was 150.7. If our percentage for this one game is higher than that, our overall percentage goes up. Otherwise it goes down.

Our one-game percentage today is 141. So our overall percentage goes down.

We were 150% beforehand. To sustain that level you need to continue winning by that margin. Any game you win by less than that margin will reduce your overall percentage

@Better days ahead, sorry for being preachy, and I'll be preachy.

Don't let your own personal expectations of things that haven't even occurred yet (the game) - get in the way of your version of 'deservedness or not'. We won and we deserved to win. There was a truckload of adversity... and a truism in football is that, if you are a very good team (or above) and you can grind out a win, then that is a great win.

We just did that.

  • Viney out
  • Tomlinson out within the game
  • Ben Brown's first game (synergy as a forward line, taking time to adapt).
  • Baker in...

A range of things showed up for adversity... we did bloody well.

Not a pretty win, but I’ll take it. 
 

Some really rubbish posting going on in the match day thread. Some folks need to put their phones away during the game and have their meltdowns in private.

We were always going to be seriously challenged. 
but as stated North cannot run out a game  

I think losing Tommo, so early, to a really serious injury rocked a few players for a while  

Dr. Depression really showed his colours today

    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
