    I don't think Trengove and Blease are right either but would prefer to be wrong

    Is it true Kent twotted the bloke right in front of the umpire?

    Port supporter said he saw it and there was nothing in it. Hope they have video if that is the case or he is gone.

    Don't forget they've still got 6 days to get right....

    To get 4-6+ weeks of match fitness back!?

    This list that was published by the little paper this afternoon paints a far rosier picture, only two players listed (and both at 1 or 2 weeks)

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/supercoach-news/the-barometer-find-out-which-of-your-clubs-stars-are-on-track-to-play-in-round-1/story-fncufbo5-1226605499510

    but obviously I'd take the clubs one a bit more accurately. When in previous years have we had (lack of match fitness notwithstanding) such a short

    list at this time of the year?

    Also worth noting is the Eagles list, we play them in 2 weeks time, and none of those main players are due back in this timeframe...

    I think you are forgetting a vital element DD

    The second language of the AFL is lying.

    The only think I believe on injury lists is that players mentioned are part that team.

    beyond that it is anyone's guess

    And the third language of the AFL is media incompetence which makes that guesswork even more hazardous.

    I'm sure all Melbourne-based Demonlanders know you mean the Herald Sun, but now that The Age has gone tabloid (sorry, "compact" as Fairfax prefers to call it) how long til the expression "the little paper" loses its undeniable meaning?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
