I picked Hawthorn today, as much as I loathe them. Clarkson is a coaching genius and his game day coaching a particular strength. Watching it now, it looks like the Dogs will come over the top in the 2nd half but It would be great for the Dees to see the Doggies get rolled. 

If the dogs get rolled, they could be playing for a top 4 spot against Port. Brisbane are currently 2 games behind them.  Charlie Dixon will have a field day if the dogs play like this.

Dogs losing doesn’t really help us if:

Port win twice 

Geelong win twice.

If that’s the case we’ll all be booking flights for Adelaide for the qualifying final.

I just can’t see Port beating the Dogs but gees they’re playing poor footy so who knows. 
All I know is we can win the next two and finish first and that’s what matters.

I have it engrained in my mind that we simply lose to Geelong in Geelong.

Whether it’s Zac Thuoey kicking a goal after a siren or losing by 100 pints 2 games after a prelim appearance. Bad things happens down there to Melbourne.

Be delighted to be proven wrong.

Port could most certainly beat the Dogs.

Clarko showing the Competition that he is still The Master Coach 

Have Whorethorn done the right thing….?

Big Shoes need to be filled. Kennett is responsible….

Time will tell whether they have done the right thing or not. Regardless, I've always felt that any decision Kennett makes is about putting himself front and centre.

I think Mitchell will be a good coach but history tell us that Clarko still had 1 more crack at rebuilding a side. 
I think Clarko as game day and head coach with Mitchell as development and senior assistant would have been lethal but then ego and money will get in the way of most things.

Absolutely. This is all on Jeffrey Gibb Kennett 

Mitchell is being thrown to the wolves with a very average list. If he survives it will be astounding 

Box Hill is not the same…

Stuart out for the year could help.

For some reason I thought Mitchell was lobbying in the background to take over the role. If he was not white-anting possibly the best coach of all time he certainly could have told Kennett that he was not interested in the job yet.

How is he being thrown to the wolves?

Yep. Mitchell as Assistant for 2-3 years. Not at Box Hill would have been my agenda. 
But we watch and plan to beat them each year. 
We owe them decades of pain

Confirmed Tom Stewart is our for the year. Lisfranc surgery. Massive blow to the Cats especially on top of Touey and Duncan

If port split clearances the dogs will be in strife.  Port have gone tall this week with Dixon, Georgiades, Marshall and Ladhams. Hinkley is just playing them into form in preparation for the kindergarten sized dogs defence.

He isn’t ready, although he thinks he is, I am sure he has Convinced Jeffrey of that.

Kennett hasn’t wanted Clarko in the chair for years, for whatever reason. Hopefully Clarkson will get another top job. 
He hasn’t finished his tenure. That is abundantly clear. The Hawks 22 are very average at this point…

I reckon the toughness of the dogs is questionable. Bont McCrae etc are amazing but as far as toughness goes I’d back us in every day if the week

    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
