Hawthorn spy found up a tree

Jon Pierik

April 3, 2011 "MELBOURNE and Hawthorn have re-ignited their spy games as the two clubs prepare for the twilight clash at the MCG today.

The Demons asked a Hawthorn spy to leave a closed Melbourne training session at Casey Fields in Cranbourne on Friday after he was caught monitoring the Demons from up a tree. After he was noticed, the spy was ordered to leave, which he did."

Can anyone Identify, the Guilty man.

The old man looked up from his one dying eye, and said >>>> Thats him?

"It is believed the Hawks may have been particularly interested in the fitness of Melbourne's key defender James Frawley, who is set to return from injury today. Frawley is expected to spend time on Lance Franklin.

Advertisement: Story continues below This latest spat comes just a year after Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson blasted Melbourne counterpart Dean Bailey over Demon spy Dave Dunbar attending a closed session at Waverley Park. Dunbar is the Demons' innovations coach.

The Hawks had been worried clubs were trying to film their sessions from houses surrounding their training ground."

    We did it last year to them

    I stood right next to a West Coast "spy" year at a training session.

    This really isn't news

    Someone else might remember the actual name, but this was being talked about on Triple M yesterday (maybe Friday) and it was apparently the assistant to the guy who normally spies for them. Piggy Dunstall was being asked about it and said that seeing clubs hadn't agreed to not spy then there's no reason why they shouldn't too, despite the fact they were the ones kicking up a stink about it.

    No, but I find it humorous.

    Don't you see the funny side of it all?

    I reckon a spy at training just shows we've really got 'em worried. It does far more for the spyee (us) than it does for the spyer (them).

    We've been caught out doing some funny spy tactics to the Hawks over the years.

    Fair game as far as I'm concerned. Pretty tough to have a closed session these days.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
