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

    A word on how the rucks are going, especially in any kind of contesting situations, would be nice.

    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.

    I swear this was being talked up this time last year.

    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"

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
