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.

    Wow, those kids are just never going to get over the ‘saga’ are they….

    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.

    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

    Why would you say that? I think it’s safe to say that you have no idea if it happened or not. But a pretty demeaning post - no wonder she feels better off not being part of DL anymore. The poster also stated that there was another regular DLander present for this event. So a witness to corroborate.

    I assume so.

    On the "new", net post and I think the lights, there are cameras permanently fitted. Put in during the Gosch's upgrade.

    They used to put drones up, but I think we are covered by the cameras, as I have not seen a drone. 

    There are also plenty of Tech staff at the computer, dealing the trackers out to the players, and other "stuff".

    Nah.

    The mods knew what they were doing and did a fine job. You can actually have an opinion on here now without being constantly attacked for or put down because it didn't suit that particular person's narrative.

    Happy days.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
