They stopped dead in the last and would've spent a ton of emotional energy. We just need to be on level pegging or sightly ahead early and we will run right over them.

If we as supporters want to help our players the plan is pretty simple. If you went to the G on Thursday you must turn up again. Better still buy a ticket for a mate. Doesn’t matter if they don’t barrack for the Dees, so long as they hate Carlton and are very loud. 

Will do but if our players don't listen to their forward line coach what makes you think they'll hear me and my random mate?

Need to wait for official confirmation McKay is in concussion protocols. I’m sensing a Port style ‘mistake’ on the cards…

Remind me to ping you early next year when Petty kicks 0.3 (two out on the full) after having the ball kicked on his head 21 times.

Grundie is not and never will be a forward.

He’s a primary ruckman and a good one

Your thoughts on Max Gawn as a forward?

Whatever happens can we just START FAST AND HUNGRY? 

Show us 0-3 in the last 3 finals burns. 

Like, actually burns. Enough to come out breathing fire from the FIRST SECOND until the LAST SECOND, and bury these cheating [censored]. 

We can’t go down 0-4 and 2 straight sets against the blues. We just can’t.

Pressure on carlton for 4 quarters will be enough to beat them. They make a lot of silly mistakes.

Right, because Collingwood kicked a massive score with us having only two talls down back.

So we go a man down without Gus? Cool idea. Bamboozle them. 

I dream of premiership defender Petty making an appearance in our forwardline next week 😭

Sorry Jordon for Gus and Spargo for Laurie. Grundy for Roo

Because Carlton's tall forwards are comparable to Collingwoods?

McKay might still play

Mentally is Grundy still a Demon or has he already checked out of the building?

I suspect he has at least one foot out the door as he is meeting other clubs while we ae still playing finals.

We saw how effective Jackson was after his mind left to go west.

Tomlinson can't compete with any big forward that has a) speed or b) can jump more than 5 cm off the ground so not sure he gets a game unless there is a specific match up that suits - I can't think of one in either Carlton or Sydney (which is the reason Turner played in Sydney)

JVR shouldn't be suspended but we always seem to be on the wrong side of the Tribunal

Laurie isn't ready for the heat of finals - I'd also say Chandler would be very lucky to retain his spot - personally prefer Spargo who while not a big possession getter is one of our best and most creative users inside F50 - something we are poor at atm. 

We lost this game because despite having almost double the number of F50 entries we continue to hack the ball in high and slow - unless we wake up and address that we are going to lose most games, particularly finals. Our efficiency inside F50 of 33% last night is really embarrassing and some real soul searching needs to happen very quickly. 

 

Judging by the way he waved to the crowd when the camera panned to him last night I'd say yes he has checked out.

If it frees up May, Lever, Rivers to be more aggressive with their positioning and give us more drive from half-back that's exactly what we need. If it makes us even slower and stodgier moving the ball into our forward line then absolutely not, no thank you.

No McKay not playing no need. Hibberd did a good enough job.

McKay and possibly Martin out would be a big help. Against that, when you look at who we've now got out, we need all the help we can get.

    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. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. 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)

    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
