On Friday night,i'd like to see Max lead the boys to the place where Angus was felled,23 players form a circle,arm in arm.

Tonight is for our Fallen Brother!

Like a vigil? The cliff edge where the digger was shot?

Maybe we can just win it for him.

For some reason the idea of bringing Tomlinson into the team and playing May forward keeps coming to mind. It's left field, but all the other options are underwhelming....

If he didnt have a big left hook on his kicking AND we had a close replacement i reckon it would've been given some consideration Bingo

Appears we are going with Disco for JVR this week.

When you are as good as him you don't need to.

As Gary Lineker recently said on his podcast “when I went to Barcelona I was chasing and tackling and the players stopped me at half time and said ‘what are you doing, you’re here to score goals.’ I said to myself ‘I’ll have a bit of that’ but when I came back to Spurs I had to do that nonsense again!”

Not worthy of a new topic, however, would like to know if people think this group of players gets a bit of stage fright early in front of big hostile crowds at the G?

I know they’ve got Grand final experience (albeit at Optus) but it seems that whenever we play in front of a large MCG crowd against a another big Victorian team we start poorly.

Some recent examples:

Round 6: Richmond ANZAC eve - poor start

Round 13 - Collingwood KBD - poor start

Round 22 - Carlton - poor start

QF - Collingwood - poor start.

I know we had finals wins in 2018 but Geelong and Hawthorn crowds don’t have the same level of goading and intimidation as a Pies/Blues/Richmond crowd. 

I don't thinks so only by the unfortunate stat that we have started poorly in quite a few others.

I admire our fight backs but it's frustrating that we are putting ourselves in these positions.

But kudos for attempting to explain them. It's quite strange.

Once again we are mentally and physically falling apart in September.

2021 was a blessed year... shame it happened 9000km away from most of our supporters.

Great pickup RPFC. That old English work rate!

Also didn't know he had a pod.

Grundy has to play now, we are getting banged up Thursday was just such a fail will cost us a shot 

Goodwin will have to be forced into playing Grundy he doesnt like change and will resist it he should have realized earlier Max cannot do it on his own and played Grundy against Collingwood just like his idea of a Forward Line he wont admit that he was wrong i blame him entirely

Gawn has a broken toe and Oliver carrying knee soreness according to Sam Edmund on SEN

My understanding is that Gawn has had this for a few weeks now and just has a needle pre match.

Yes but if he goes down we only have TMac or Joel Smith to ruck. Grundy has to play

And it should be said Grundy is an 2xAA Team member and a 2x Copeland Trophy winner.

If he is picked he will go nuts wanting to play in a Prelim and a GF

He is primed.

If he isn't picked that will tell us a fair but more about Goody

If only we had some other ideas as to using players........

Amazing to see him up and about! 
It truly is sad how little I care about this season now. I just want Gus to be ok.

The luck of an MFC supporter (well except for those that weren't stuck in VIC in 2021)

    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.
