On the Couch last noted I think by Buckley and brown noted last weeks Cats game was Goodwin's finest coaching effort strategically.

Lyon also noted there's no discussion now on Demons culture (thanks Doggies, MRO and other newsmakers) but was bemused that "...some..." media scribes still have an issue for "...unknown reasons..."

Fantastic exposure opportuniy this week for the team.  And those 5 players with less than 10 games. Great grounding for finals-like atmosphere.

Thanks gents that,was a great listen. 

Great to hear some thoughts from the other side!

T-Mac's a very humble straight shooter.  Love his insight into recovery and where Petty was coming from with his recovery.

Young Leb is a beauty also.  Two contrasting views from the respective ends of the career journey.  The Neitz academy sounds like it's really gelling with the young rookies.  Kudos to Choco (again!).

Yeah I picked up on that too, which does at least confirm it’s not just the collective DL bias. The anti Melbourne sentiment in the media is real. 

Would be good to plant this seed across multiple platforms to see it gets traction and maybe some clarity.

I mean we have the best record in the last 4 years and yet we are only remembered by the straight sets and the other stuff we cannot mention. 
 

And yet other clubs seem to get a free pass. The Cats were the PF chokers only just a few years ago, Pies/ Doggies / Dons and drugs were synonymous and yet it’s ok. Of course every team is vulnerable when losing, but we are 6-2.

You can track it all back to when Melbourne was the envy of the league in the 60s. Working class supporters in Collingwood, Richmond, in the West, South East etc used to despise the "toffs" of Melbourne. Some in the media would have been brought up to have a lingering bitterness aimed at Melbourne. Where Collingwood and Carlton supporters genuinely hate each other and have a genuine rivalry, Melbourne is hated by those same supporters purely in a historically class-divided sense. It's a sort of "eat the rich" narrative. It's less directed at the club itself and more at what the club symbolises which traditionally has been the, shall we say, more fortuate suppoer demographics.

Love or hate him it's very important we have the likes of Gary Lyon to flex for us.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

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)

    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
