Here's a few...

- Our win against Port in South Australia early in the year for Viney's 200th! My first foray into SA to watch us play was a good one!

- Caleb Windsor immediately looking at home on the Robbie Flower wing at the MCG

- Ed Langdon returning to 2021/early 2022 form late in the second half of the year.

- Our thrilling win against Geelong and Bayley Fritsch's potential GOTY match sealer.

- Disco Turner showing promise as a third tall in the forward line.

- JVR's first half against the Eagles at the G. Overall, another great development season for Roo.

- Max Gawn with another AA quality year. Should be named on the bench at a minimum if not ruck

- Trent Rivers in the midfield.

- Kynan Brown's match winning tackle against the Roos on debut.

- Jake Melksham's return from an ACL.

Kozzy will be AA next year if not this year. He might win our best and fairest. Petracca showed he can almost win games by himself as a forward. If he fully recovers, his injury may have been a b

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
