This the 3rd game in a row, where we are coming back from interstate or playing interstate, against a team either playing at home or with a longer break, or both.

Great job on the fixed ture AFL.

I was always sceptical of the multiverse theory Kev... until now!

At training today, ANB and Viney, had semi competitive drills with each other to end the session, about 10 minutes. 

They were very close to goal and after slapping, holding each other and turning the ball boundary side they would perform a little snap for goal.

They had a bit of intention about it.

We get another one of those next week. Dockers with the extra day break and we will be travelling.

We saved our absolute best for September last year. Why can't we do that again this year? 

Perhaps this discussion warrants its own thread. Lots of variables, but too many of them trending downwards or not improving for mine.

Im not doubting your reasoning or seeing such things Kev... all im saying is if this happens tomorrow night then i will have turned and will forever be a believer in the multiverse afterwards!

The Bulldogs massive weakness is structurally in defence - so of course our 2 best tall forwards are out.

Honestly our draw this year has been so hard. It doesn’t get taken into consideration enough. We are up against it every week. I’m really proud of what we’ve achieved to date.

I agree... another reason to have kept Tomo in and pushed Petty forward

They could be thinking, they've got to get goals from somewhere. 

Could also be to set the throw ins from near the goal and not sharking at Weids feet.

BB has been proppy since he limped off at half time in the Adelaide game. We've done well to manage him through the last few games. I don't know if I'm more worried about him missing or that Weid is taking his place.

The odds are against us tomorrow evening. If we win it will be huge .... a sign that the Demon spirit is emerging in time for September.

Weid: no comment 

That is a magnificent contribution to the thread.

Weed is playing for Melbourne tomorrow night and he deserves the support of all true fans.

Reckon we've already lost this at the selection table but hopefully wrong (again)

Got a feeling Weid is going to have an Elimination final 2018 type of game tomorrow night.  Based on absolutely nothing.

Geez I hope so. I really truly do. I want the Weed to come out and smash packs, take mark of the year and slot six like Koz did last week.

It's in there somewhere and today is the day.....but I'll settle for a decent amount of good solid grabs and a few goals. Just something to spark him up to be the player we all want!

Yes and he will have my full support since he's playing, doesn't mean I have to agree with his selection . If he has a good game I'll be the first on here to acknowledge it.

Alice is a home game we choose to play away from the G. Two six day breaks coming into next week away against the Dockers isn't ideal. They travelled this week and would be flying back today so not a massive advantage to them. We have a day longer break against the pies and 2 day longer break than the Blues the following week. Swings and round abouts

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
