And just as I was starting to think the MFC is full on Nancy boys who need their Mums.

Someone stands up and does something that makes me proud to be a supporter.

Excellent role model behaviour for young Hogan. I hope we can see them operating up forward together.

Unfortunately Dockett 32 I think you are going to see Hogan play quite a few games before it happens.

After the last couple of weeks and considering St Kilda's potential side for the first game I have a strange feeling.

I actually feel confident we can win this game.

Now it may all come tumbling down if the Hawks hand out the usual thrashing on the weekend.

But it is a strange feeling.

It is actually so long ago since I had this feeling I cannot remember when it was.

I suspect early in 2011.

I can handle the feeling Just please let it be the real thing on Saturday evening 22nd March.

I am worried about injuries, as we never ever seem to have anything like our best list available at the start of a season and I don't want to add to that.

The team for this weekend will tell us more Redleg.

I think you can count out Clark, Tapscott, Jamar but the last two are no big loss and Clark has played so infrequently and made no contribution so far in 2014 that I don't think about him.

Aside from Dawes and Viney the others I don't see as any more than fill in players.

IMO two weeks out I think we will have a good team in that should be able to account for the saints.

And ex MFC officials. It has been for quite a while.

ex being the critical word.

How come the good ones left and we ended with crap?

I blame the board and Mark Neeld LOL

She is, she sent us Roos and Jackson.

Good point Redleg

Now if she can keep the injury list and banana prices low we are half way home.

He is the Reverend because of his contacts with her upstairs R & B.

I am sure the message will have been passed on by now.

Interesting article on the MFC site Redleg on injuries, I would put up a link if I knew how!

Some time ago my father told me that donkeys never get injured but fast horses do regularly.

I see Pedersen will be back for the hawthorn game.

From the article "“Mitch is tracking through his rehab and he’s going pretty well. He’s just ticking off his running sessions."

What does that mean?

I have no idea when he will be back?

Yes bb

interesting to see this description "Small utility Luke Tapscott"

I have always wondered what his position

was, it seems the MFC are not sure either.

Small as in Sherman v T34 !! Lol

With Riley on the LTI list and Garland not fully fit, , I would imagine Georgiou is a certainty, to be uplifted and to play agaisnt the Saints.

I Agree but in spite of my best efforts to understand the upgrading process Redleg the MFC never ceases to catch me out.

e.g. last year they upgraded Magner and then never played him.

So I will believe it when it happens

true, but i suspect magner wasn't played for "other" reasons

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
