I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

Not sure that Fitzroy fans would agree with you Redleg.

They got dealt some pretty crappy hands in their last two years.

On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

How could I have forgotten the Captain- Jack Grimes.

Agreed. Didn't help that the AFL was dealing most of those cards from the bottom of the pack........

I thought he was meeting up with FaultyDet in the Phillipines.....but might have got it mixed up, lol

So, whats the chance of your mate JB getting a guernsey this week?

I am not certain on wyl, you may well be right of course he may be going to both.

If you are trying to bait me DC it works every time with N0.7

I am going to the Brisbane game with my brother who is a Gabba Member so we get to eat and sit among the upper crust of Brisbane.

It will not look very good to be seen lying on the floor in a fetal position crying.

So please No.7 at Casey this weekend.

PS Once again I forgot to use chrome!

Still think he could make it. I would play him in the FP this week in place of Flash. I would tell him if he doesn't apply a strong forward press he has no future at the club. Think that would stir him up.

I hope you're right redleg. he does have a lot of good features but so far i tend towards od's pov (though not as strongly)

I doubt there is anything that would stir him up, you cannot pull up your socks if you do not have any on Redleg

Threat of delisting may work wonders.

Every time I see Lewis Jetta play I feel sick, thinking how we could have had him as a rookie, after Neville's mum told us about him.

Surely not Daisy . He has never been a fan of the youth policy to my knowledge.

I trust that he is not involved in the drug trade either-unless as a customer.

Other than that-you would have to wear a "Kim Bradley won in Vegas " T-shirt to get locked up there surely?

I heard that Lewis shadowed Keiran Jack all pre season - has bought his fitness to elite levels.

I can't help but wonder which of our underperforming players - JB, Morts etc would lift to a surprising level given the same chance.

That is a cultural thing and Neeld and Craig are attempting to change ours. Near enough is not good enough.

Sorry Redleg no amount of fitness will cover a lack of skill and desire.

Back to WA for me.

Lets face it we are third last on the ladder 5 years into a rebuild.

We must have a number of players that are not AFL standard.

No. 7 is not on his own but in 9 weeks time 5-6 players should be for the high jump.

IMHO no7 is in the lead group

Add Tom Mcdonald.

I'm waiting for the first thread suggesting we could look at Connors.

Think it has already been suggested.

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
