Just heard on ABC radio that TJ & J Sherman have been dropped from this weeks squad.

Apparently they didn't turn up to training yesterday..... :rolleyes:

I think Jack Grimes has a much better work ethic. Hopefully he will come good with his injuries and have a long and distinguished career with the MFC.

Thoughts ?

Both "didn't train", not "didn't turn up to training".

Both are injured. TJ was kicking on his non-preferred against the Dogs because of a hamstring injury.

Travis is gone.

Why would you think Grimes has a better work ethic. Travis has been a proven B to A grader a times. Grimes is a 1st year playter without a single statistic to his name.

The curse of MFC has been to over inflate values of players. Lets not load him up early.

I heard it on ABC radio Brisbane 4pm.

Said they were dropped because they did not turn up to training.

Maybe they worded it wrong ? :wacko:

I was only informing what I had heard.

TJ is a hack

Got carved up by Lynden Dunn

A hack??

Carved up by dunn?

I wouldn't go that far. I'm sure you loved how he played as we all did when he was with us.

It's just his attitude that was the problem.

Whats that saying.... is it 90% of the game is played above the shoulders. He is soft as butter and weak minded. He could have been one of the greats.

Work ethic has nothing to do with statistics.

Trav was one of my favourites at the club but he was lazy at times.......

There has been mention elsewhere of Grimes great attitude and work ethic.

I am by no means putting pressure on Grimes by saying that hopefully he gets over his injuries and has a long career with the MFC.

On the basis of what? Hasn't kicked a ball in anger.

Get a grip, FFS! :angry:

Mono.... it pays to read the whole thread before getting :angry:

Read my post at 6.27pm above that says - There has been mention elsewhere of Grimes great attitude and work ethic.

Now.. for the simple people that jump to conclusions :rolleyes: I am talking about attitude and work ethic both of which have to be applied off the field to present it on the field.

As I said earlier TJ was one of my favourites but he was, on occasion, lazy and his attitude and work ethic was questionable both off and on the field.

What I was referring to predominantly was a hope that Grimes (who comes in at the expense of TJ) injuries come good and he has a long career with the Mighty MFC.

We won't know whether the gamble has payed off or not for some time yet. The kid has plenty of time up his sleeve, after all he is not turning 28 this year is he ? ;)

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
