    At risk of upsetting people again, i want to say that giving players breaks when injured seems to be a common theme down at MFC, does anyone know if other teams do it?

    Could this be a reason for the 1 - 2 weeks turning into 2 - 4 weeks as it takes them longer then expected to get back into it?

    Tapscott,Grimes,Williams & Spencer were the only ones I noticed whom did not do full match day rehersal. Grimes and Williams expected to join next week,Tappy a couple of weeks away whilst Pencil looks great and is not far way as well.

    Hang on... I thought Spencer was 10 weeks with a knee injury and possibly a longer term injury..?

    Is this now not the case?

    Cheers for the report. Great to hear the team spirit is up and about.

    Someone else mentioned it first, i was just asking a question. Settle down fella!

    and yes it is the same question as i asked on the other thread, just people decided to call me racist (absolutely no idea why coz i was saying the complete opposite) and the thread got closed bfore it could be discussed.

    I spoke to Pencil at the Family Day, the six to eight weeks is his preseason, will not be considered until he is right up to speed, his knee is fine, so it will be a judgement call as to when he can play

    Thanks JCB, A question I have is what makes you think that viney is ready to play this year specifically. I usually hear he is ready to play mostly on his physique alone, is there any specifics?

    Cheers

    His fitness,class is just what we want.Another star is born IMO.He has just got it.!

    Jetta/Strauss train either look like playing this weekend? Cheers JCB

    Hi champ- both players trained well.Maybe short of a gallop.I believe both may strip with Casey this week.Jetta's parents were there today and said his shoulder is holding up well.Both good emergency type players IMO.But you are the champ-your opinionI'd appreciate.

    Complete opposite?

    lol

    BJ is right, don't derail the training thread.

    Start your own and ask the question.

    Jetta/Strauss half fit would be better than Joel Macdonald, who would have to have played the worst game of defensive football I've EVER seen last weekend...

    Tappy another 2 weeks away is very disappointing for me. This kid will be a star but injuries hold him back.

    I believe it's the same injury, the hip as a result of the fall on the sprinkler. They did a "clean-up" op at the end of the season, and that's what he's coming back from.

    yep, didnt u see the moderators post when he closed it?

    something about unwarranted allegations wasnt it?

    false allegations is something that filth supporters do, not demons.

    people have discussed the question anyway so there isnt much more to say.

    . Trenners is really excited to strip this week also.

    and Kelvin Lawrence. I wouldn't be surprised , based on training today that he strips this week.

    Thanks for the report.

    Just out of curiosity, why do you use the term 'strip' to indicate a player will play? never heard it before.

    im suprised his still standing after the amount of damage he took last year. thank god it wasn't one of the stick or ceramic players who took the bumps tappa took.

    We all have had bad days and nights, that is why I got suspended trying to protect WYL that's life.By the way I can cope.I am just a battler like Joel,we get there in the end.

    You are correct.He may always have a resticted pre season where he swims a lot instead of doing running work as a main fitness routine.

    One will get a huge shock when they see him now.By gee I'd hate to get on the wrong side of him.I even thought today, his body may be too big for his injured hip.The guy is just HUGE.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
