    Tom Mcdonald 4th. I have really high hopes for TMc, in 10 years time i reckon he will be leading the list of "draft steals". 55 or something he went at?

    Two of the top four are in only their second year... hmm.

    They're flying ! I'm sure they miss Trengove.

    Just remember, performance on the footy field is what really matters.

    Exactly.

    I couldn't give a flying f*#k who wins the any of the running trials.

    Where was Morton? I thought the only thing he was good at was running?

    Heard he was in the second or third group of runners in the first session also. Why is that?

    The three leaders looked to have really shot away from the others, I would've expected the players to be a lot more bunched up. Some of them have a hell of a lot of work to do I'd have thought.

    Dave Misson is just what this club needs...You can tell he will demand respect and excellence. If he gets it those players will be successful.

    Well done to Cam Schwab, Jimma & whoever else was involved in getting him to the MFC...

    Not sure why you are surprised by Nicholson

    He is fast normally and he is a rookie who is into his second year on the rookie list.

    He will be looking to follow up his 2011 good showing with a better 2012.

    It is 2012 or never for this guy.

    Hope he makes it.

    Probably did not take a holiday wants to impress the new coaches straight up.

    Is Trengove's running ability up there with Jones? I'd be surprised if he made our top 5.

    While you are 100% right HT about onfield performance that matters, Neeld certainly threw the callenge out there this morning when he indicated what times they should be striving for. He obviously thinks that there is a benchmark that most of our players have to achieve, so offield performance is pretty important at the moment.

    You are effusive in your faint praise...

    Considering his sister is a complete running freak I'd be very surprised if he wasn't in our top 5, possible even #1.

    He kept up with Scully in the Beep Test and his endurance is up there billy.

    Yeah why not? I can remember he was very highly rated from an endurance point of view during the draft. Surely some of his older sister's running ability has also been passed to him. There was a huge gap between the top three from what I could see so I would bet he'd be top 5 at the very least. We shall find out when he gets back from the Gold Coast next week.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
