Interesting tidbit when reading afl report that Melbourne club doctor Dan Bates attended to him.

That is first reference I could see to replacement for our previous crew

NN Is that Dr. Bates or Mr. Bates

Absolutely!

I'd love to say I'm above the rollercoaster, but I did have a minor coronary initially.

Yeah, let's not pretend that there was a single person who read this thread and went "oh I'm sure it will all be just fine, who cares". If you didn't experience a little bit of vomit in the mouth, you are not human.

It just seems to hit at this time of year and as a Demon fan we've been through this too many times to take anything for granted. Good luck to "Good Times", at least he can keep his fitness up while recuperating. Bring on Round 1 already!

lol, let's just see if this is actually 2 weeks or an 'MFC-fortnight' which is usually a couple of months

32 games in 3 years, yes let's give him the captaincy shall we, nevermind the fact he appears to be made of crepe paper

oh well at least we have the good old 'interrupted pre-season' disclaimer if he has a disappointing year

ah Melbourne, our motto should be 'stuffing things up since 1965'

so announced as 2 weeks, add the 250% MFC injury under-estimation rule, which means add another 5 weeks and then add another 1 to 2 weeks in the VFL and we should see Grimesy by around Round 6.

On a serious note, he has a solid pre-season under his belt, hopefully can sit out the next 2 games and then have a light run in the NAB Cup Final and be ripe by round 1.

Grimes should know by now that it's a bruise free game. He is a silly man for being captain and going in hard!! Especially given his injury ridden career. What was he thinking. A very bad example indeed.

Thank the man on the moon he was lkg down on us and it was not worse than it could have been. Phew, I wouldn't blame the guy for pulling back a bit. Just goes to show the quality of the MAN and it's obvious why he is captain.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
