Great to see Trac back and firing. Oliver was the reason we finished so low this year. He's now fit and firing. I'm calling it now we will make the 8 maybe even top 4. Can't wait for the season to start.

Agree Werridee I have 2020 vibes around a 2025 season comeback like 2021. 

Refer to my Prelim Final team in your posting for Round 1 with about 4/5 changes. That’s got to happen IMO and I would include Lindsay after seeing his highlights and JT’s wrap on him. 

He may be on a wing or HB flank like Hayden Young was in his first year. Also I believe The Duke should moved to the centre to straighten us up on occasions as well as kick 15/20 goals as he develops.

Bowey could also as mooted in the track reports could also be in the wing mix which would be good I believe. Even Half forward is not out of the question. Also AMW could be HF like he was at Casey.

Bomberblitz have a "Melbourne Deathride" thread and their consensus is that we'll finish near the bottom.

I'm much more inclined to agree with @WERRIDEE.  We haven't lost a game for three months!

Everyone's writing us off. Media, betting agencies, fans, the lot. Everyone except us. Suits me i say

Looks like Trac is being attacked by a pair of aggressive poodles - did anyone jump in to help the poor bloke??

Fantastic photo with two colts attacking our No 1 Champ together Great example for all players in 2025.

I haven't read where Oliver has come back fit. I've read how he has had some Clarry type possessions. But I can see posters referring to him as being fit and firing. Can anyone elaborate on his fitness?

He's carrying a few extra kilos. Presumably he will have slimmed down a little by R1.

To be honest I know it is only early days but Clayton is looking happier and more playful than he has been these past two years. It’s already been commented on but he looks injury free he is picking the ball up and handballing like he is renowned for, apart from a few blisters I don’t think he is far off his best. Mind you this is what I have gleaned from training reports and those Special Comments.😁😁

I tell you who will be on the bottom 2 it will be Essendon. Only Richmond below them. I can't see Essendon improving when you consider that North, West Coast, Melbourne, Gold Coast and St.Kilda should improve. I see them certain bottom 2 maybe bottom 3 with West Coast.

Well, I'm standing here looking at you

What do I see? I'm looking straight through

It's so sad when you're young

To be told you're having fun

So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor

That music's lost its taste so try another flavor

Don't tread on an ant, he's done nothing to you

There might come a day when he's treading on you

Don't tread on an ant, you'll end up black and blue

You cut off his head, legs come looking for you

One more from GW:

Another DL regular and I had a long chat with Trac.  He was honest and spoke with passion. We would periodically say "We don't wanna hold you up", etc, but he pretty much vented the whole time and we just listened.  Not gonna elaborate but he's a changed person.  Even he says he is.

I think it’s safe to say this never happened

    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

    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
