The boys are back on the track officially as from tomorrow -Dees itching to start training

I think a few of the older heads have more time under the collective bargaining agreement but we don't have that many vets at the club so there should be a good turn out of players on hand.

I suppose it would be handy to know where and when so that our regular track watchers who might have some time on their hands could have a look and provide us with their opinions as to who is going to be the club's next best thing.

With the advent of the delisted free agent, we're also likely to see a return to bygone days for a short period between 1 November and 13 November. Clubs which secure such players will be able to have them at training almost as soon as they're signed up so if you're at training, keep a watch out for any new faces.

Can't wait to see if Gysberts, Morton and Cook have put on some muscle in their time off.

I observed our training session today, and was quite impressed with what I saw. The boys looked very tuned in to what they were doing and were moving quite freely. Get those rugby posts down though.

I dont think many here will care as none of the aforementioned are MFC players.

Mahoney said much of the first week would focus on testing and assessing players.

“Officially, we start training on Monday. But it’s also an introduction into meetings and skills,” he told melbournefc.com.au.

As far as when training starts and whether we have access, things look pretty vague.

I'm waiting for next week at the earliest.

The assessment of the players is something which the FD is not going to take lightly. I understand that this time last year there were some surprises about the results which showed up the players who hadn't placed a great amount of emphasis on their basic training programmes during the end of season break. MN has said recently that he doesn't expect any surprises this time which suggests that the club has weeded out those who aren't particularly fond of hard work.

Is dawes back yet?

Think he's still overseas. Should be back in a couple weeks along with Byrnes who is also still on holiday and Jamar who is currently on his honeymoon.

Both boys would be knee deep in Year 12 exams would they not? Be surprised to see them before later november.

Aside from Diabetes and CFS? He was sent in for some clean-up surgery after last season, before Casey played finals. This rather upset the Casey coach given he was their most productive forward.

It was his ankle, was on crutches at the B&F but said he would be ready for pre season anyway, it was just a clean up, apart from everything else that was thrown at him, he had been playing with the ankle since arriving at the club........he hopes everything is behind him now and he can finally just play footy...on the diabetes front...he has a program mapped out

He looks a very strong individual.

He has a big year coming up in his footy career...

Good luck to him.

Fitzy was at AAMI last week doing a running program, so he's up and about.

Also saw quite a turn out last Friday - Jetta, Trenners, Watts, Howe, Dunn, TMac, Nicholson, Gawny etc

I feel sorry for Joel Macdonald

Looks he will be the one who will cop the brunt of the disgruntled 'supporters' now that the aforementioned Cook, Morton and Gysberts aren't here. Hopefully Barty comes good to take some heat, although if Rodan, Peterson and Byrnes aren't in line for the Brownlow they may also cop the rough end of the stick around here......

Edit: apparently I can't spell 'Stick'

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
