Hipwood out for the year.

Bruce out for the year.

Stewart out for the year.

I’m doing my best not to get too excited about key players going down for the other contenders but it’s not easy.

I'm not sure, I'd rather Port in Adelaide than coping Geelong at KP (regional crowds in Victoria) for week 1.

I don't really rate Port (I think they are the weakest of the top 4 sides) and we have a good record at Adelaide Oval. 

The afl own the grounds during finals so to speak and set ticketing policy. Thus if we play in adelaide there will be many more dees fans getting over there and wont be anywhere near a full port crowd.

Oh that’s a shame. As much as I can’t stand the Cats, I really liked Stewart - seemed a cut above the rest. 
 

That out is going to reshape a settled side with Blicavs probably going back, which is not there preferred position for him. 

stewart out is massive. their defence is seriously damaged without him

he's one of my favourite non-dee players, so reliable, tough and effective. would/will be all-australian

Could we stop speculating about finishing on top and start taking things one game at a time. We have a game to win tomorrow.

Wise words.

If we happen to play the Doggies in a final, I really hope we go after Cody Weightman. He runs his mouth a lot. Real small man syndrome. I would be going after him in a final.

I think that’s what he wants so he can dive and duck for frees.

That depends on Covid Im afraid.

Fair to say everything is up for grabs.

Can St. Kilda reasonably make the finals? Just trying to gauge their will.

Bit of a chance.

If WC lose both their games and Essendon lose once than they’re in (assuming they beat Geelong and Freo at Marvel next week)

Win tomorrow and gauranteed top 2 gives us the option to rest some players v Geelong if they are going to scrap the bye

Tomorrow is the game to rest anybody. 
I doubt the bye will be happening before The Finals. 
We may get a bye after The Preliminary Final…

    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

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. 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
