Geez Cheney's unlucky l reckon

Agreed. I'd play Cheney ahead of Bell. Bell's had his chance and he's not good enough. Give the young kids a go. Harsh? Maybe, but justified, I think.

Just arrived and sat down at our table. Saw DemonDeb and Garry Marchant, two very hard workers for the club.

Hope there isn't another confrontation involving Jimmy tonight. The table prize list says "Second prize is a Grand Old Fag DVD". :wub: Do we have to offend everyone?

CC has done the warm up. Waiting for Dean Bailey.

Too hard to type, eat and listen at the one time so I'll report on the evening tomorrow. After DB's talk, CC interviewed two impressive young guns in Cale Morton and Jack Grimes and two board members Don McLardy and Peter Spargo spoke of the some of the club's initiatives going into the future.

A great night for the club and here's hoping the players do what's necessary tomorrow night.

I went to training tonight.. Just a light practice as you would expect.. The emergencies brought up were Dunn and Cheney.. None of the other players looked injured but Jones seemed to do a mini fitness test but he looked the goods.

petterd is named as an emergency. does that suggest to anyone that he has been squeezed out rather than dropped for form?

A bit of both I suspect, but to answer some posts regarding Pettard being played out of position...in order to fit him in the team, Bailey has to play him out of position, because generally he's good enough to get a game, but not good enough to break into our ever improving back half. I'd say Dean recognises his potential and it's not a case of wasted talent, especially if you've got better blokes in front of him.

Couldn't agree anymore. I'm sick and tired of people judging players and criticizing players like bell. Give him a chance!

He's had a terrible run with injuries of late so you have no right to bag and complain about him until he's played a game or two. Many of you were saying Garland was one of the worst players to put on the MelbourneFc jumper....and now look at him. I can't wait for him to play a good game this week to prove people like DemonTraveller wrong!

I dislike "bashing" players, but there is a difference between Bell and Garland. Bell has been around for years and has had time to prove himself, whereas Garland was only a youngster trying to prove himself (which so far he has done IMO).

He's talking about the little spat between Jimmy and Mick Coglin over a speech Jimmy made at a President's lunch before a recent game at the MCG. I seem to recall there was a brief thread here on Demonland about it.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
