    Hi Rollo,

    Unfortunately I think I have the dreadded OP and am currently unable to run. This is not cool - but will rule me out of the game. I also have work. :( Should I be able to get out of it I'll definitely come down and help out or at least provide a voice from the stands.

    Cheers,

    Toot

    Rollo, maybe able to pull in one or two (non-dee) mates to help out if required. Let me know.

    Cheers,

    TSF

    I would ask them, now, TSF...

    hopefully, we dees will not need them in the end...

    but, unless I miss my guess, the pies and saints will be looking for extra numbers on the day...

    thanks, mate... :wub:

    Hey Guys..... I'm thinking I'll be around for a trundle, not sure about Funky41 he is running in the Melbourne Marathon (10km) that day and isn't sure if he can back it up....

    I have Shagger back and he is going to ask around the club for a few players (hopefully we use them this time rather than send the club's B&F and Capt to richmond :wacko: )

    Have a 6'4 guy named Dumbo who could ruck (Rollo: anything else you need :lol: ) although he isn't a bad FF having a ton a couple of time (a few years ago now)

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
