    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
