I've not heard that much on Grimes in previous reports. It'd be great if you could have a look.

    Thanks DW. In addition to the other requests, I'm really keen to know how Sef. Martin is shaping up. Havn't heard very much about him this year, and based on his promising debut season, I'm really excited about his prospects.

    Reported on Demonology that Jamar was wearing a moon boot. Our ruck stocks being as thin as they are can ill afford either Jamar or PJ to be missing games.

    On that, How is PJ looking for the oncoming season? Didn't he have hip surgery at the end of last season?

    Our rucks are average, I say stick an extra mid in their, sod the ruck, better a good mid than a dud ruck, PJ is ok, donoughts I'm still not convinced about.

    I ran into Sylvia and his manager (Tom Pretoro, he's an old friend) in the CBD last week. Col looked simply awesome, fittest looking person I've seen in the flesh for a long time.

    When Syl wandered off mid-conversation to put something down, Tom whispered to me that he is due for a massive season. It could be because he's up for contract at the end of the year and Tom is wanting to talk up his street value. But he did mention that he's off the grog, eating right and has been extra sessions to condition his body right.

    Look out boys 2009 and could well be remembered as the year of the Svelt Sylvia!

    Indeed, name a player who's flying on the track or having their best season for years and dollars-to-donuts it'll be the the player who is out of contract at the year's end. Gotta love one year contracts.

    Why make a weak point weaker? An extra mid will not mean anything if the opposition gets a clean and uncontested tap at the ball to a waiting player. Our midfield quality is sorely tested and bumping up quantity does not solve the problem.

    Agree.

    Too true! Its very unlikely to hear that a team is "taking it easy" over the pre-season.

    Official Press Conference from head coach:

    "Yeah, our boys have been hard it watching the Cricket & Tennis and have been on teh golf course at least 3 times a week. Our ruckman has a bad bout of intergestion but I reckon he'll be right by round 1".

    Haha :lol:

    no doubt our players wish we had a wet and wild down here...

    vossy has his finger on the pulse - knows how hard we've been training, blah, blah.......

    after last season, our players deserved to be belted - lack of fitness and some of the worst skills seen of any afl side...

    The Febey's were notorious for this...

    I remember this quote from an apparently famous american NFL coach, I can't remember his name but it went something like this...

    "Give me a team full of guys in their last year of their contracts and I'll give you a champion team"

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
