Not in any order:

1. ABC multi-call was the best by the length of the straight: "Their run is a pleasure to watch". (After Brayshaw's goal'.

2. Kysaiah Pickett needs to be honoured on the forward line. IMO there were a couple of occasions where KP could have been 'hit up'.

3.TMAC didn't have a big impact but did some fantastic team things such as the unacknowledged love-tap to Petracca resulting in the dribbled goal.

4. Brayshaw was magnificent, and I don't just mean the uncle.

5.Tom  Sparrow bears an uncanny resemblance to Canelo Alvarez.

6. Alan Jakovich's post-match gig with Gaddy Lyon is immortal.

7. All demon detractors are forgiven: you know red and blue are the best colours.

As evidenced by his appearance in the rooms after the Grand Final, Shane Woewodin still fits into his 2000 Grand Final guernsey.  FMD I'd give organs to be able to fit into anything I was wearing in 2000.

Max Gawn is the best captain in the AFL

James Harmes delivered the most sumptuous inside 50 kick of the year (century?) to set up Fritsch and kick-start the revival

Christian Petracca produced one of the all-time great Norm Smith performances

Luke Jackson is going to be some footballer

Jake Bowey thinks this s**ts easy

As Daisy explained once the switch is turned On - Dees don’t have an off switch, we just keep going until the siren sounds.

I've still got an item of clothing from 2000 that fits me perfectly.  It's a very nice scarf, too.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

Still no number on Campbell’s

    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

    Champion ruckman and brilliant leader, Max Gawn earned his seventh All-Australian team blazer and constantly held the team up on his shoulders in what was truly a difficult season for the Demons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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. Date of Birth: 2 June 2001 Height: 171cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 106 Goals MFC 2024: 36 Career Total: 161 Brownlow Medal Votes: 3 Melbourne Football Club: 4th Best & Fairest: 369 votes

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
