    I thought Nicho was one of our 2011 Highlights.....He will make it.

    So do I see what I said on his review topic.

    Must look different above to what I entended.

    I was making the observation that I was not surprised that he trained so well.

    Sorry if does not read that way.

    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.

    Harsh call old dee .For a first year rookie I thought he had a terrific year. Considering that as an inexperienced rookie he joined a side that was bereft of a game plan or on field leadership he did all that could be asked.

    You are effusive in your faint praise...

    really like him.

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

    Didn't they stop Scully?

    That said, I am happily surprised that JT ran a 3km time trial in his draft year in around 10min 5seconds or similar.

    It's good to ask a genuine question, get it answered, and not have to put up with a heap of bullsh!t. Thanks HT. :)

    Have a listen to the interview with Dave Misson. He has some interesting comments on our current performance.

    He mentioned that the 3 front runners were good (Jones, Bail and Nicholson) but there were probably a few guys at the back that needed to improve - 'definitely room for improvement'.

    He was asked his impressions of the first week, and he said the effort had been great. He used the word 'effort' instead of 'performance'.

    He said he came to MFC with a lot of data from his previous clubs (Swans and Saints) on how they performed over 3k, so he will compare the figures later today.

    He said the attitude was good and they have a lot of new things to take in, such as adjusting to MJs new game plan.

    Next open training time - monday 7th Nov 10 am.

    As long as the Effort is there.....The rest will follow...I thought what he had to say for early November was great....The Scope for improvement in this list is massive.

    And attitude too. He also said you need both. He's measuring our performance against a recent premier team and a grand finalist. He'll know what we need to produce to achieve results.

    Effort creates Attitude....Effort gets everything Rolling....Baby Steps at first....then lift work rates......Misson's Files will be large and varied, don't forget he worked with the Wallabies and Australian Cricket side.

    His stay maybe only short...so we gotta learn everything for the future as well

    Any hints on that? Didn't he stay at the Swans from 2001 to 2007, and the saints from 2008?

    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?

    That really surprises me as he doesn't look like a runner. This kid is giving himself every chance to succeed.

    I would say his stint at the Demons will depend a lot on onfield improvement. You can just tell the guy is massively focused.

    We have not had this type of stuff at the MFC before.....This was Jimmy's long term goal back in 2008....not just to see this place survive, but to actually see it become a leader again.

    Long way to go yet...but the pieces are coming together fast...Misson is going to love this preseason....he can really work these boys into athletes.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
