I am bullish about us this season.  Top 4 ( us, giants, bears and pies).  Suspect we turn 5:1 at the bye.  Will love spending many hours with you across the season.

Who will be the biggest improver?

How much will TMAC and BBB contribute?

Who is your biggest ‘smokey’ to be a regular (cf. last year).

What are the chances of Blake Howes being this season’s Judd McVee?  🤞

Kozzie attending 8+ centre bounces per game looks like a no brainer, he’s almost unstoppable. It also frees him up, boosts his confidence and is a nightmare matchup for oppo’s. 
 

Have the MFC brains trust got the brains to make this move consistently throughout the year?

There seems a lot more flexibility through the midfield   -  will Tracc and Clayton spend more time forward with more mid time from Salo, Sparrow and maybe Rivers.

Are Woey and Pup Brown likely to become regulars and if so are Chandler and Laurie vulnerable?

Looking forward to (as the year progresses) hearing of the progress of Jefferson and Adams in particular as future KPP 

The whole team looked in far better synch last week - hopefully a predictor of the season.  
 

GO DEES.

After a long hiatus over the summer (necessary to recover from last year’s disappointment), I’m now ready for the season and am more optimistic than I was two months ago. Not as bullish as I was last year—I had predicted top-2 and a GF berth last year—but confident we can make top-4 assuming an average injury run. 
 

Four questions :

1. Which team is our greatest threat this year?

2. Who do you think will be our top goal kicker and who our most reliable goal kicker (shots to goal ratio)?

3. What adjustments to our on-field and off-field load management strategy do you think we’ll make or should make to get through the long season and peak in September?

4. Finally, at what round and minimum ladder position should I consider investing in the GF guarantee? 😁

Thanks and looking foreword to another great season of the podcast!

Apologies. I didn't open this Season Preview show up to questions but I will try to pepper some of them in where appropriate. We are covering a lot of the questions anyway.

Good take on Max - he looks like he’s had enough (in a good way) and is ready to play angry 😤

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
