Every forecast I’ve looked at says rain will be in the morning. 
Also it’s Melbourne. Chances of this forecast being correct 6 days out is 0%. 

You may be able to trust the forecast on Thursday morning, and that's still a 50-50 proposition.

The app I use has five different forecast models that all show it’s going to rain at some stage during the day / early evening.

The one that tends to be more accurate indicates right now that there will be rain from 2pm to 6pm….. at this stage. 

I find that I have been stressing about the weather forecasts more than anything else at the moment, and there are still five sleeps to go!

Finals are all about execution on the day. I am grateful for the opportunity the club is giving me to make myself sick with anxiety and trepidation.

But I can live with being beaten by a team that can execute better on the day - but after last year - we are due to be on the winning side of that ‘execution battle’…

We look fit, our best players are at least fit with only two adjusting to long breaks out injured, and we are in form with what we are good at - contest and defence.

Can somebody rip the Yank's goggles off?

Put their knees into him like he did to Max QB2022? I despise him, he's a bog ordinary bully.

Cox like playing against us, and doesn't have the worst record. I could see him troubling us in the air. Pre Steven May, he certainly did. I hope they don't play him. I think they will though.

This is a major concern. Dees have pretty much lost every game this season when raining. Our back line pillars go to mush. I’m hoping that the meteorologists are off considering it’s still another few days away

My left leg has been playing up so all signs point to a dry spell.

Well now it says rain up to 4mm and to finish by 4pm 🤷‍♀️

I wouldn’t think about the weather until hours before the game as it’ll change 12 times until then

I wasn't really devastated missing out last year like I should have been. I think I was still high after the flag.

Agreed. Too far out for an accurate determination.

Johnson hurt himself yesterday in the VFL. He is a depth player for them. Wasn’t playing very well, I thought.

Didnt he damage us one particular game? I might be wrong but the name rings a bell.

I would think they'd name teams for our game on Wednesday and the other teams on Thursday.

This post may be written in jest, but I really don't like it. Cox wears his glasses to stop him from going blind from another eye injury. It's OK not to like him, but let's not wish him a serious, life-changing injury.

I wouldn’t have thought anyone who played yesterday would be in consideration for Thursday, just an opinion

Every time I look, the weather forecast for Thursday gets crappier and crappier.  Not good.

Mine gets better and better 😂

Spargo is firming as a possible selection in place of TMac in my opinion. (assuming wet/greasy conditions) Looking windy as well. Not great for our high forward bombs

Pity that Schache hasn't come on.

    TRAINING: Friday 6th December 2024

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session.

Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    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
