Better for us to play against a top team no pressure.

Either way our opposition analyst can get straight to work, only has to view one tape from yesterday’s Suns Dogs game.

A top two clash with no crowds possibly again, bugger.

Footscray will be on the register after our game if it’s put forward. We’re going to be victimised. Cannot see us being anything but touched up by the Dogs. 

2 losses in a row and then if things continue to get worse in Melbourne we’ll have Geelong the following week at Kardinia.

I'm more confident of beating the Doggies than the Suns

I say bring this senario on. If we're good enough we'll beat both the doggies and the cats.

If not then at least we'll know early and won't to suffer any MFCSS through the finals.

May as well. But knowing Melbourne we’re more likely to beat Dogs and Cats but get pumped by Adelaide and Gold Coast ?

Did anyone else notice that Brayshaw let this slip in the post match interview? Seems like its almost a done deal…

Would explain the performance last night, saving themselves for the Dogs.

Does not matter who we play. After yesterday they look gone.

The doom-mongering on this site is becoming unnecessary. I don't think anyone thought they were 'gone' after they outplayed PA at their home ground just a week ago.

To be fair, we will comfortably account for the dogs if the current pattern continues.

We are so bloody schizophrenic.

Switching round 19 and 20 games still has a few border closure and exemption issues. 

Just let us play GCS next week in Qld!!  If Brisb can come and go to Melb to play the Hawks next week then we can come and go to Qld to play GCS. 

Have a horrible feeling the AFL is hell bent on us playing in Darwin.

Don’t disagree entirely with this: I think we have done our dash this year. Problem is that we have no plan going forward other than hit and hope - I think this will be our undoing over the next few days. I believe it’s the only thing that’s holding us back at the moment.

Make you wonder if they already knew this and had their minds on next week.   Like the Crows game. Heard Brayshaw say dogs next week and wondered why.

Why?

Gives us time to study their game plan well before the final series and to adjust in the lead up games.

We can still peak if a few more home and away games left.

Playing them close to the finals, then we play them when we should be at our best. Play them now and we still have room for improvement, with some fine tuning prior to the real stuff (finals).

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
