Yeah he might not last the week. They were still a chance for the 8 and they’ve produced this.

Pleasing if they beat Brisbane, which helps us.

Scary as we have to play them next week.

Indeed.

Hopefully that will mean we don't take them lightly.

Just a matter of when rather than if. Can't totally blame him in a way, that panel he has looks like a very very weak one, but he's the boss so he pays the cost.

I really thought they would chase Clarko hard, but he has said so many times that he is not leaving,  that I now wonder if it is Ross Lyon.

Media saying we can’t play them next week because of COVID quarantine issues. They could get stronger with the return of Holman and Ellis later in the year.  Anyway we have to beat them whenever we play, if we want to end up top 2.

In a weird way, not the worst time to be looking for a new coach, there's some (seemingly) good options around. Personally think Brad Scott would be a good fit for the Blues, but media saying he's the front runner for the Pies job.

Yeah that it. If they continue and knock off Brisbane, the less likely we are to take them lightly

Go gold coast. It would be great if they could win. Also be handy if the saints could knock of west coast. 

Gee a bit surprised by how easily nth beat Carlton. They have had a few good weeks the blues. A shame nth couldn't produce that performance last week but I guess having Cunnington back makes a difference.

Can I just say, the way umpires are officiating the holding the ball rule is a blight on the game. I guarantee tonight we'll be pulling our hair out at the lack of holding the ball.

No, we will be pinged relentlessly in a millisecond, while the Digs will throw the ball and hold it while tackled with impugnity.

Why should anything change.

The GC have been slaughtered in the 3rd quarter by the umpires and their pathetic disposal. It is beyond belief how bad it has been this quarter.

They need one quarter like their first 2 and they can still win.

And in 20 seconds into the last the GC Captain kicks it to a Lion in their goal square. Unbelievable. Really inspiring.

Joe the Goose, getting ‘Joe the Gooses’..

Just switched on.. how is the greatest player to ever play, according to commentators- Rankin going?

They were very slow out of the blocks to say the least but my goodness they are putting on a clinic now.

This is the real lions and a worry when on especially smoking Joe.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    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
