I can't recall the last time when 5 games out from season's end that the performance of teams below us were almost irrelevant to our long term position.

Port and Brisbane are the main games in town

Let the others scrap....

I'm still hoping we win all our games, including a big percentage earner on Sunday, Coll. don't win by much tomorrow, and lose the next three.  Meanwhile Port lose one game, and Bris don't have any percent boosters......and we end up minor Premiers!!!

I know it doesn't matter if we're first or second....but I quite like being minor Premiers. Last time we went on and won the Major prize!!

Um, Collingwood are 3 games ahead, plus percentage.

I’m hoping the giants beat the swans. Don’t want the swans to have something to play for when we play them in the last round.

They'll find something to play for ... Teams always do against us.

I distinctly recall when they didn’t find something to play for against us and we’d still get spanked 🏏

For once I just want a team to put the cue firmly in it's rack against us. I see lots of NON-MFC games (to bring this back on topic) where one team has gone to lunch yet we'll play them the next week and it's back to work.

Yes, the last few weeks have certainly felt like that… shame about Carlton’s resurgence really… hoping for a Giants and saints win this week… likelihood is quite low though.

North will fold this weekend. Nice percentage boost coming up

I want Geelong and Carlton out of the finals.

Who to barrack for tonight to increase the odds of that happening?  Arrrghhh, it's all too complicated- advise please.

I leave aside the Geelong Port game - as Jaded said, too damaging to the soul to even think about it.

A Geelong win is good for the Dees, but bad for the soul

For the first time I can think of Geelong is the lesser of two evils here. It also helps I won't have to watch Tom Hawkins waddle around.

Um....re-read post.

Good luck with that.

I'm thinking because of the influence behind closed walls in the Port Players Rooms that there would be a fair amount of dismay and quite a lot of annoyance between the players and Coach, 

This bloke can be construed as neglecting his interest and their interests and welfares, by his cognisance of  some of them returning to the ground.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
