MELBOURNE

Break starts: December 18

Return: January 4

Youngsters Colin Garland (foot stress fracture) and Sam Blease (leg) are progressing, but the club is taking a cautious approach with Garland's injury. Blease has been running and involved in handball/kicking drills. Brad Green (wrist) and Matthew Warnock (ankle) are back into training after their injuries shortened their 2009 seasons. Austin Wonaeamirri was training strongly until a hamstring injury set him back last week. Second-year Demons Jamie Bennell and Neville Jetta are also looking good on the track, and Cale Morton and Jack Watts have added five and six kilograms respectively. Jack Grimes is training with the midfield and looks set to spend further time there in 2010.

Pity our own website (melbournefc ) cannot keep us up to date.

Good to hear.

Grimesy in the midfield now that we have a wider range of backman also great.

Its from the AFL website which is practically the same thing.

And its not like there is anything new in there worth knowing that we didn't already know.

I thought it was great to hear that Green & Warnock are in full training - I had not heard any thing mentioned about those two, heard that Jetta was training well but to also hear Bennell is going great guns( my word to it only) is great news. I think Bennell could develop into a great player whom may run through the centre after time.. I know John Turnball thinks he'll b a gun.

Furthermore, confirmation that both Watts & Morton are developing and increasing their bulk is also brilliant.

Thanks again for the updates John!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Morton and Watts next year.

I'm starting to get quite excited about our midfield also. Good to see Grimes training with them. Whether he becomes a backman or a midfielder in the future, training with the midfield will teach him a lot.

Your petty vendetta against the club's website is tiresome.

The club's website could do with a bit of improvement.

There aren't too many club's websites that are good quality websites. Compare them to other sporting team's websites and the amount of information that they provide and AFL websites just don't stack up.

thanks- it is great to keep us all notified to what is going on- even if it confirmation. I agree with Grimes- will turn out to be a beauty. We have a stack of quality young midfielders to develop .Great position for the club as some can play in other positions as well.I feel Grimes could make a star wingman. He has shown great attacking as well as defending skillls until he develops into a ruck rover. Great way of developing skills and stamina in a wingers role.

Agreed completely, but I wouldn't be shooting the messenger here. I don't know how happy the clubs themselves are with the current AFL/Bigpond tie-up, which leaves them with little room to move and little control over the content/configuration/operation of the sites. Certainly, I don't believe they do their own coding.

Adding Twitter to the armoury can only help, but even there, as links are often back the MFC site, there's a limit.

I agree completely.

The club's websites are ordinary, but it's mostly due to the AFL's obsession with control, and the fact that they've sold the website rights to bigpond and forced all the clubs to use the same template.

Get over yourself mate.

The whole point of having the MFC Website post the infomation is that it means the infomation will be correct, not just some 2-bit reporters opinion. Use your brains.

The website is as slack as it gets.

Doesnt make me love MFC any less, just pisses me off.

The Clubs that are locked into the deal might need to conform, but I think Essendon went it alone.

This is also my understanding, however, we can raise our own topics ourselves. Ryan Larkin & Martin Cox wrote many topics over the last two years.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
