I spent a bit of time over west in the past few weeks. My first post Covid trip. They're a weird mob over there, to be sure.

I was chatting last Sat morning with the lady that ran the local cafe, out the side of a caravan parked near the beach, she had her Freo jumper on ready to go to the game. I said the Pies travel ok you know. She replied that her 11 yo daughter had told her that Freo were no good in the wet, as we knocked back a coffee watching a sea of storm clouds roll in. Mum, they need to turn the sprinklers on at training, she had apparently said that very morning. My response (after immediately txting a few mates back east to get onto Collingwood) was to tell her don't worry, you've got Melbourne next week!

The look of utter despondence on her face......priceless.

Go Dees by 25.

Demonland early birds or late night insomniacs? Caught the last rites of last evening’s SCG clash on AFL online. Back on home soil to get the big picture. Maintain the rage Demons let the winning run continue.

We have Fremantle today and the Swans next week.

What happened last time that the Demons played that combination in consecutive games?

Since Cairns we have 32 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses and a premiership!

I see Freo as a bunch of B graders playing an A grade system. They will be hard to beat, but we should prevail on talent so long as we bring the required intensity.

Excited to see us put another team of pretenders to the sword. Had a quick word to the big fella this morning and he tells me it's "...in the bag!"

I'm catching a supporters bus up from the coast. In two minds to take my 6yo, leave at 1.45 - home by 10.30. Big day and I don't know who'll be more emotional! 😀

Let’s all wish Melksy the very best for his 200th!!! Let’s give him the love he deserves! Make some noise for him!

PS: y’all don’t forget to check out the awesome banner today. I broke a fingernail making that thing! And sacrificed a substantial amount of hair since: sticky tape + long hair + static electricity = hair loss. 🤣

Edit: just don’t look too closely. I may or may not have cut a lil chunk outta the K in Melksham. 😬

Nice work WCW

what happens to banners after they are used?

have a feeling this one might end up at your house? Imagine having it in your driveway and driving through it everyday 😂

I see today going this way:

freo bring manic pressure and two way running, which we match.

they break first

we come home over the top for a reasonable win.

the game wont be won by the stars, but by the system and skills.  Our pressure will eventually be too much.

Big call mate. I have a 6yo too

If you get your first ‘are we there yet’ at 2:05 you’re in for a long one!

chips for the kid and beers for you should get you through

Hopefully we can get a decent crowd, a lot of talk going around that we’re not turning up to games and our lack of support is pathetic supporters coming after a premiership

It should be a genuinely good contest and I expect it to be very close all day. 
Langdon is a massive out for us. 
Hopefully the home ground advantage and our ability to never move away from our game style will help us win. 
If we do win, Bowey is tied for all time wins from debut.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

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
