Hopefully they don't think it will all just happen - it is going to take an big lift in defensive pressure to be any chance

For starters wear the real and only  MFC jumper. The one in the above pic looks awful.

Has Carlton ditched that all white outfit from last year. Havent seen it this season. They looked like they were running around in their undies.

The short bit of footage the club released from training showed some reasonably high pressure match simulation. Part of me thinks this is the week we see a real step up…hope I am correct

I think we are all sitting here hoping we see that switch flicked this week.

If we do it will give me a lot more confidence heading into the end of the regular season and into finals.

If we don't it's hard to see us getting our best back this season.

Winning out is unlikely but hopefully we see more of what we know and love.

I just don't want to see any 4 or 5 goal leads fluffed anymore.

I reckon we're going to love the last month of footy. It's a real chance to play some really strong and desperate teams with finals and top 4 on the line. 

It's going to be a perfect lead in to the finals and if we want to be a great team like the players talk about, it's time to lift the intensity and run out 4 quarters.

I expect us to win at least 3 of our last 4 and hit finals with a bang.

I love that most of the press are writing us off.

You’d imagine all clubs do high-pressure match sims, right?

Im usually at work quickly browsing on my phone with fat fingers and I never check what I’ve typed.

If autocorrect doesn’t fix it. I ain’t.

I don’t imagine that they always do it on a 6 day break. To me it says that maybe we are stepping into a game honing phase and are no longer in a loading phase.

I could be totally wrong though and don’t claim to be an expert on the matter

I'd have been more confident with another couple of easy kills like Gold Coast and Adelaide to warm us up.

I haven’t heard one good answer on the contested marking drop off. I’d love to hear an explanation for this.

Could it be that all of May, Lever, Gawn and Jackson have been injured/ill at some point in that period? So we're either missing or below their best?

I believe this is the thread appropos thread for that type of thing.

Perhaps it could end up as a containment thread ala the NO T$ NO BS thread.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. 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’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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

    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
