Which team is kicking with the wind????

No wind to speak of. It is 25 deg and calm, perfect. Weather would be having no impact

39 to 46 missing a fair few chances in front of goal. Sculls, Davey and Pettard have just missed very kickable goals.

yep it is. seen it all too often, people who constantly hurt/ strain/ twinge their hammies means that they can never live up to their potential.

Yeah. Davey, Buckley and Richo good examples of players who never lived up to their potential with dodgy hammies.

Relax turbo. You're not a doctor, stop acting like one.

Bugger, I missed that.

Career is stuffed now. over a year out with hammies means he will most probably continue to do them the rest of his career.

He actually missed the majority of 2009 because he tore the meniscus in his knee, but don't let that get in the way of some good hysteria.

I'm far from worried.

A lot of players coming back from injury get little scares and pull the pin at the smallest inkling of tightness.

Wona still has heaps of time up his sleeve.

On a positive note, it's good to hear about young Fitzy and Gizza's efforts for Casey.

Was surprised when Colby talked Maric up and likened him to Missy Higgins.

Can't say I disagree, albeit Addam has a long way to go yet.

Agree- seemed to have been playing well today also- agree earlier post where you stated - good to see Fitzy & Gysberts played well for Casey- seems Newton & Healey did also.

I'm perfectly relaxed. You need to take another look at his post.

Seems like a kind of high scoring game. I saw 50 plus on either side and was thinking it'd be 3/4 time or something, especially at a local ground.

The scoring shots, and presumably the inside fifties, is something to be encouraged about.

    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
