Silver linings

All I want for Xmas is an elite kick and decision maker.

A lefty would be a sweet bonus.

In the words of the famed poet/philosopher Ricky Bobby, "if you ain't first, you're last."

I really couldn't care about the 14th place. The moment we couldn't make finals, I still wanted us to win every match but had more interest hoping results go our way for the highest draft pick possible.

Bad?

It’s bloody brilliant.

2019 everything went wrong. Jackson, Pickett and Rivers were premiership players 2 years later.

Whilst I’m not expecting that kind of turnaround a pick 6 is lovely. That could be an Oliver level player, could be a Windsor, could be traded for Steve May.

Biggest downside is we don’t have our second rounder and have to beg the Crows for it back.

This puts us in the bottom 6 fixture group; coupled with pick 5 it gives us great scope to challenge again in 2025.

But will the bottom six be easy beats next year!

You can count on West Coast and Richmond to stink it up real bad next year. Also can’t see North going much better, unless they land some mature players to help steady the ship. 
Adelaide are a who knows. Saints are garbage.

Disappointing to miss the finals but this was a very even year. 
we only had the two(?) really bad games.  Why. NFI.  Something was wrong.

And how many by less than 10 or so points.  And we started with two less top 22 players.   So with the football gods with us in 2025.  And some  better team management. Look forward. Go Dee’s

That's generous.

Both Fremantle games were abysmal. The West Coast and Dogs games were right up there in the same category.

Both Collingwood games were really bad. 

We also beat North by three points. 

We were no longer difficult to play.

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.

    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
