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.

Exactly. Nothing new in there worth knowing that we didn't already know.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
