Made a BIG BIG statement today. It's significant that injured players were flown up to keep the unit together.

And that photo at the end, they are really saying something about loyalty to one another.

And sticking it up hacks like Damien Barrett.

Viney as good as gone after hearing that comment. Sorry to say, but it’s bleeding obvious after that. He could he playing the contract hold off game, but that answer he gave Lynch was deafening in a pessimistic way. 

Did you watch the game? If you are leaving, you are not playing like that.

After the ridiculous feeding frenzy that was the media/commentary on our club, THAT is what leadership looks like. Brutal, tough, inspiring, uncompromising. I 'dips me lid' to Viney, ANB, Gawn, Lever for showing commitment and pride to our jumper and club. 

Even more so, I am loving the spirit and grunt shown by our large group of your fellas. Turner, Tholstrup, McVee etc... A real strong group of younger players reminding me of early days under Neal Daniher.

But it was against a very, very disinterested Gold Coast.

Gawn spoke wonderfully yet again. Great captain and leader. To me today was a performance of united group, no fractures.
 

Can’t say how I feel about Trac though. Can’t see him with the team in the rooms. Oliver is there, Spargs is there.

Where are you Trac?

 

May is home too. I don’t know that we need to read too much into it. 
But really good to see Clarry there!

How does that make you feel Velcro supporters who come on here and profess to have inside knowledge of BAD CULTURE???? You will never be able to celebrate a win like we will!

Good to see Clarry up there with them

To me, Clarry is a bit like Shane Warne in that he just loves playing with his good mates and thrives the most when he's happy around them

Dwayne is cringe but his burnt toast analogy is spot on IMO. I reckon there’s a huge chance we can rise up the ladder again in 2025.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned enough is us pioneering giving ANB a game after a public trade request. I thought he was great, so I wonder if it will catch on?

No Jefferson yet but Turner could kick 40+ next year. He can seriously play. 

JV as dominant as I can ever remember him being. 

Melksham should definitely play one more.  
 

The guy in the ARC should be fired on the spot and never work for the AFL again. Completely gutless and sadly predictable. When was the last time one of them went our way?

What'd he say?

Asked you’re not going anywhere are you?

Said “nah” but then said “we will finish out the year and see what happens”. 
Was odd.

Are you kidding bro?
 

If I’m leaving, I’m playing better and going hard to use that as leverage to show clubs this is what I’m worth. You want me? You pay up. 
 

Why would you play worse and risk other clubs cooling off?

Are you joking? Initial response was an enthusiastic YEAH. Followed by a vague remark that read to me as “holy [censored]. My manager will be [censored] off my saying that in contract talks”.

Sorry, I got that the wrong way around.  He was asked "you're not going anywhere?" and replied Nah enthusiastically.    Some people seem deermined to read the worst into everything.

Because it goes both ways, if I get injured I’m getting nothing. 1 game is not jacking up your value, but it can certainly put a quick end to all talks.

I hate to say it but if we won just two of those four games we lost by less than a goal..ie lions....Port...Gws... Carlton....

We would be playing finals again.

Throw in some shocking injuries and it explains quite a bit.

I just love these pessimistic posters, following a massive win like that. TBH you must have a miserable life.

The 4 points and percentage hurts but hopefully the Suns can give the Tigers a good belting next week. 

Lots of drama still to come but a nice reminder to the players of what they can do when they’re physically up for the contest and the opposition are witches hats.

Great win by the club against so much criticism.

Kozzie well down.

No May.

No Oliver.

No Tracca.

Highest score for the year.

Go figure.

Viney best game of the year.

Langers not far off.

Please stay Anb. Despite a very slow start, he stormed home. 

Disco could be our future Coleman.

Self-reflecting on the game he played, the things he did, the space he made, the attack on the ball that he engineered, Disco has much to be proud of, building confidence and initial knowledge of just what a good forward he actually is proving to be. Well done, lad.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 12th February 2025

    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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
