Should we be worried?

In a report on the training thread, it said that Dunn was contested by Hogan and Dunn beat him every time.

I don't want to moz this kid but after seeing him play live I formed the view he is the closest thing I have seen to a young Carey. I hope with all my heart he signs a long term contract with us and plays a long career and injury free with us. If that happens he will go down as one of our greats.

As much as he has some annoying traits, Dunn actually knuckled down and worked hard last season and produced some decent games in defence. Perhaps he's just one of those players who's seen the light and doesn't want his career to flicker and die like so many before him at this club in recent years.

Worried about a near 10 year player beating a kid at pre season training in early December?

No not really.

Interesting article in the Hun today about the Bill Vlahos Betting Scheme that has gone belly ( now there is a surprise ).

$180 million is said to have vanished.

One of the big losers is said to be "Former Melbourne Demons President Mr Don Mclarty"

My god what makes seemly intelligent people invest in these things.

And we wonder my the MFC has floundered in recent years.

A month or two ago on his radio show, Red Symons said he had once briefly met Tom Waterhouse. As part if the discussion, he told Tom he 'never bet on anything'.

Tom replied 'you should come and work for me'.

Hoping to get down to training on wednesday.

I was going today Redleg as I was in the area but when the rain hit I bailed.

I have seen enough poor ball handling to last me a lifetime in 2013.

I plan to go Wednesday if it is dry.

Might see you there if I am free.

PS. Read my last post on the AFL Officials thread and post what you think.

Wonder if CAC is regretting his move from footy to racing. He left the Tigers for BC3 Thoroughbreds which is headed by the same guy being questioned over the missing punters club millions.

PS. BC3 is also apparently in default of payment to Inglis Thoroughbred Auctions, for the purchase of the $5m colt that will never race, but is recovering from a spider bite.

PPS. CAC is a decent guy and in no way do I suggest he has done anything wrong.

Yes I did Redleg and I agree that there are incontinences it our treatment on this issue.

However IMO the AFL has always been thus and will be in the future.

I never thought we would get a PP in 2013.

We had just been done for tanking and had displayed over the previous 5 -6 years the worse management this century.

The cry that the MFC had plenty of help to rise and completely messed it up and did not deserve a PP held some water IMO.

I tend to think in the long term no PP this year might actually make us better.

We have to get over the hand out mentality and get on with picking good players and building a good list.

I think there is a lot more to come on this subject Redleg.

It will be the subject for a very good story when all is revealed over the next couple of years.

Does make you wonder.

It is all starting to sound very dodgy. An assault and a car being torched down at Connewarre, unpaid bills for horses and payments to tax havens in Bermuda! Promises of 25% returns on punting? A sensible person wouldn't go near it unless you are interested in tax avoidance, money laundering or alternatively you are just plain stupid?

In Don's case it could just be the latter.

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
