Mad Monday

Everyone deserves to let their hair down. They still work hard and mostly to capacity.

Sometimes it can actually help a bit. Lighten things up and get over the gloom.

Do they deserve a mad monday?

I think a strong move by the captains should hit it on the head this year.

They will be having time off!

It's Trengoves 21st birthday tonight. Hit it on the head? If anything it'll be starting a day early.

if i was a player i'd be keeping it low key and certainly a long way away from the public

That might just be the case after this week DC. Don't they have their individual season reviews and medicals all this week? I'd imagine a few home truths will be bouncing off the walls in "The coach's office" this week. Would love Robbo to leave his camera rolling so we can have a listen to what is said!

I'm on the fence with this Mad Monday stuff. When I played footy, we always treated it as a celebration for either making the finals, or winning the flag (not that I did the latter). I think there was one year where we didn't make finals, so we just had a bbq and a few beers on the Sunday at the club. While it's a long year and you train hard for a long time, there's nothing to celebrate when you don't make finals.

The thing for me is that they are employees of our club. If their boss (Neeld), is happy for them to be tearing it up in Thailand, then we have to go along with it. I think the AFLPA have a rule in place that preseason isn't to start before a certain date, but I'd imagine Neeld and Misson will be putting in high expectations of the level of fitness that the players will be required to return to the Club at from day 1. I would also imagine that reaching these levels will be hard if you go on multi-day benders at the Full Moon parties, etc.

Will be interesting to see how Trengove goes, considering he's one that is going to Thailand I believe. Not sure how many other AFL captains do that? Can't see Grimes doing it.


Neeld is holding player meetings at 8.30am today and tomorrow to which every player is required to be at and sober. I guess that's his way of making sure Mad Monday is tempered this year.

Great call Mark in my books.

Oh let them have a day out.

If it is next monday so be it.

7 - 8 will be having their fair well drink and another 5 - 6 will be having their second last end of season MFC party.

They are only fellow humans must have been very trying playing for the Dees this year as it was very trying to watch.

I am of a similar opinion, give the a day or a week, but when they return from their break they should be in the same condition they left in, and ready for a grueling pre-seaon if you do that then do what you want on Monday ect

Have we seen any issues in the last couple of years with the players playing up on a Mad Monday, no, hands up posters who never played up in their twenties, the game has changed, the players know that, if you want a career.... you have to behave

As for Trengove going to Thailand, jeezus, last year we had Club Captains in Bali, Vegas etc etc...... it is a holiday, and Jack Trengove hardly drinks anyway...he is from a family of athletes

you forgot Sylvia!!!

He's shortly heading off to Mexico and LA, give him time.

I'm preparing for the worst possible news to come our way... Clark and Jones locked up... In a Bangcock prison, looking at life, for killing Tom McDonald and Jeremy Howe. Moloney knuckles down, signs 3 year deal.

If that happens then I'll dead-set spew up!! I can't handle watching Moloney play in a Melbourne jumper again...

boom boom tish

You've been a wonderful crowd

Everyone deserves to let their hair down.

Especially Nathan Jones.


Top effort everyones snide comments. Some pretty ordinary human beings lurking around the area.

meh, it's mad Monday Tuesday, I need to let my hair down after what we've all been through

few of the boys are off to thailand and bali and to attend the infamous full moon party..

Great!

I can see a few broken legs, some spiked drinks and a few drunken brawls headlining the off-season.

oh dear, here comes another off season headline involving Col and too much alcohol

I think I'm OK with it, But After the assessments are finished & players know where they stand with their report & what they need to do to achieve.

This can have a bearing on their mindset, going toward the pre season.

  • 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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
