I assume you're referring to Brent Crosswell but I think that might be a trifle unfair because he was a great at Carlton and good value at Melbourne.

I have to think about that one and am open to suggestions.

My initial reaction would be the Vinnie Catoggio but there might be a better one lurking around ... James Cook?

Phil Pinnell

Michael Young

Paul Hurst

Brent Heaver

Peter Rohde

Ronald Barassi????

It's true. I'm a loose cannon.

Can't control my white line fever.

Meanwhile, "The Snitch" is talking all sorts of jive over at the Carlton forum.

Sounds like a job for the wise_monkey.

I'll need a warm up.

I've done no fitness in months, am getting fatter by the day and still haven't learnt how to kick...

I'll be really helpful.

I'm with you Mick. A warm up would be good.

Benno..., Rollo usually posts up here what people are to bring or recommend bringing ie: mouthguards, jumpers etc...

Looks like the heatwave is staying away so therefore the sunscreen may not need to appear. However...this IS Melbourne. ;)

so we're starting at 2, is there going to be a warm up ect. i'd hate for all u older blokes 2 do a hammy

Let's try to get there between 1-1:30pm to have a stretch, a kick, a yarn and talk some tactics.

I drove past Gosh's paddock this afternoon - there's a small fenced off area on the half forward flank, about 2 x 2 meters. Let's hope it's removed by the weekend.

I just got in from a 10km run - part of a gruelling training routine for the weekend's game.

And our boy Blessed has just started pre-season with Port Melbourne. He's fit!

At least there'll be a few of us to chase the pill around all day. :unsure:

I'm happy to give "The Snitch" a touch up, but wouldn't it be more fun if both of us took him out. Personally, I don't think he's got the fitness or the nerve to get anywhere near the play.

Does training for VFL goal umpiring count?

Wait, even if it did... I haven't done any yet.

10km!? Never in my life.

WEATHER... extended forecast says 19 degrees, morning rain showers clearing. The operative word is "showers", so footy boots are a must (mitch, please tell scotty fcs so he won't be slipping and sliding but taking good, solid marks on those leads)...

people, it's melbourne and the bluebuggers are promising us a contest...

if we can believe our scout, robbo24, they have the personnel to provide a real contest and a tough game...

people, it's melbourne so bring water AND suncreen !!!

helpers... we have never had enough additional water, so don't slack off on your commitments...

I have 4 additional guernseys, but bring additional jumpers if you have them for players without...

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons have a 10 day break before they head on the road to Perth to take on the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
