Great topic guys, and really loving being a Melbourne supporter right now. Is anyone else watching On the Couch tonight?? I tuned in, hoping to get a snippet or brief mention of our win on the weekend, but couldn't believe the 7/8 minute intro that brought a premature tear to my eye. This is building beautifully.

How good would a meet up be for the Demonland faithful after our imminent premiership, I suggest Pretty Please in St Kilda or maybe Harlow in Richmond.

Sack goodwin

Three months ago I was guilty of speculating how many losses it would take before the media started calling for his scalp. 

Personally I think I qanted someone more like Ports coach. A bit of fire in the belly who would go out and blast a few players.

Goody is clearly very diffferent and his learnings wasnt just media speak. He obviously has been building wisdom and skills. He has placed a good group of other coaches and staff around him and its falling into place.

Nice to see you coming over from the dark side ?  Watching the game on Sunday, I was really impressed seeing Goodwin sitting with, and talking to (words of encouragement) the players on the bench, one on one.

It all evens out in the end, doesn’t it?

In 2013, we had people unbelievably telling us that things weren’t really as bad as they seemed. (Note: It really was)

In 2018, we had some people coming out and saying that the losses to Richmond and Hawthorn were as bad as anything Neeld ever produced (Note: Watch the entire Seven broadcast of 148 and tell me if you think that’s the case), and that Goody’s tenure should be questioned from that moment onwards. 

While there were outliers, the truth about those eras were eventually revealed. As will the truth about this era. 
 

Should we continue to win, there will be no room for conjecture.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
