I've been hard on Melksham but he's getting rewarded for form in the VFL.

He'll add much more then what Spargo and Jordon have of recent.

Has @WalkingCivilWar made the trip? Saw some Demon Army people there at the ground yesterday.

I’ve not. Would need to have robbed a bank in order to go, and robbing banks is so 1980s.

There aren’t many from the DA there this year but those who are will bring the noise just as loudly as we do every match.

Happy to report the giant Harmesy graphic made it to the ground last night having spent a worryingly long time on the tarmac at whatever airport. It was flown separately due to time constraints.

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!!

Fair point. So much for the Petty experiment.

All of about 100 people there. Surely it’s time for a rethink on this game. I’d rather sell it elsewhere if we have to

We get the money even if no one turns up, and it's all about the money.

A lot of the crowd are, I think bussed in from surrounding areas. I assume the weather warnings put a stop to that this year

This is my least favourite game day of the year. All I can think is that I would be there if the game was in Melbourne, and how much I love live footy.

We'll agree to disagree Bin

Bowey certainly has the tank and can play this role plus damage with ball in hand forward of center

Def agree to disagree on tank - no chance bowey had the tank or high cruising speed of nibbler - an ability that is fundamental to the role.

They are completely different types of athletes.

And for context, unlike nibbler  who never comes out of the side, bowey was dropped for a big chunk of last season and has played at Casey tgis year too. Whilst nibbler 

But leaving that aside, it makes little sense to take Bowey away from his best position as a distributor of half back and make him a high half forward, a role he has never played.

And even less sense to take nibbler away from a specialist role he has trained and played in over three seasons and made his own to such a high level he is a clear best 22 lock. 

I mean a few years back, they  encouraged him to look at other clubs. He stayed, and has played so well in that position that the club put him in the leadership group and resigned him on a new contract.

I can't see how today's game is possibly of any financial gain vs having the game at the MCG. There must be 2k people there. If that. The cost to get there. Accommodation. I really can't wait until we stop doing this.

Ugh I’d forgotten how depressing it is to watch us play on TV at home.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

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

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
