As much as I'd love to just smash the same clubs again next year, it would be nice to see WB & Port drop out of the 4 or 8 this year, and a few other challengers step up. We might look back on the first 5 weeks as a breeze. And play the real premiership contenders later on. Hopefully what we do to them will be so spirit crushing, that we effectively end both their seasons before they even begin. I don't think a club that relies on the ageing Boak, Jonas, Gray & Dixon has much left in its legs. And as for the Dogs, if Libba decides to not mentally turn up (again), then they're already gone.

And the umps clamp down on their ducking.

Disagree.  The dogs should be better as E Wood has retired, with hindsight at the end of the prelim. Worst defensive performance in a GF since Ray Boyanich.

Expand  

No doubt they should be better and its a long shot, but I'm just hoping they suffer a string of bad luck. Lose a few close contests early in the season, get smashed a few times and drop their heads and give up. And have players like Libba, McRae, Hunter and Brighton-Mullet severely out of form, and end up with 3-5 wins heading into the bye and never catch up.

I'd rather play interstate teams away and play Vic clubs at home. Better for the finances and better atmosphere at games (especially if we're winning).

Well, all things being equal obviously better finances and atmosphere are a good thing. But the reality is to win premierships (which in itself leads to higher membership/better finances/better home crowds, apart from the pleasure of actually winning) you need to mazimise your wins. Inarguably it's easier to win at home, especially against interstate teams than it is away, which leads to a better ladder position, home finals, double chances etc.

And just to save someone responding, I know if I was a true supporter I should be saying the harder the draw the better, give us 22 games away, we're the premiers and invincible, every other team is crap compared to us, yadda yadda yadda....

It is a refreshing change for us to only play teams that finished below us in 2021, instead of the all too familiar only playing teams above us 🤗🤗🤗❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

If and it’s a big IF, Essendon can knock off Geelong (MCG) and Brisbane (Marvel) in the opening fortnight, I can see 65,000 for our round 3 Friday night game. This would effectively almost compensate for losing the QBDay gate this year.

Ofcourse that’s dependent on us starting the year in good fashion.

Probably more like 75,000 I would think if Bombers win one of their games.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
