Troy Davis was also a late withdrawal from Casey due to being ill.

They have their own I think. Probably have gold class passes to MSAC anyway given Eddie's pull.

The only "pull" Eddie has is usually hand driven !!! I think he is also the Elitist [censored] that said he sends his kids to a Private school to ensure they get a good education... He has forgotten where his roots are (Broady Boy)

MFC have said Watts, Davis & Kent were ill. Rumours that Jordie was also Crook.

Its hardly 1/2 a team, but if there were a few more that were under the weather then maybe i'll rock up the the G this weekend with slightly more optimisim

I had the latest strain of Flu (type B according to blood test) in the US a couple of months back, night sweats, lost appetite and 5 kg.

I too hope this is the reason...

PS. Pride left the room a while back RR

I'm sorry, but there's no "reason" for losing by 140-points other than just not being up to the task. Having the "flu" barely passes for a day off from preps, let alone to be let off the hook for two weeks of insipidness.

I don't think anyone has suggested it was the reason Cudi/

Jordie suffered a calf strain in warm up.

No you're confused. The calf strain is the name of this particular virus. Terrible. terrible strain. Leaves a person unable to run, tackle, man up, understand instruction, hit the ball clear of congestion, lead into space, smother, chase or jump.

Which moderator keeps deleting my posts in this thread? And why?

I can't register my disapproval at "the flu" being used as an excuse for two of the worst performances in the MFC history?

There is a virus doing the rounds and I've had it (still have) it's pretty bad and if any of the players have it I feel for them. I got a call from Robbo on Friday about some FH stuff and I told him I was too sick to talk, he mentioned that one of his band had it as well. My son's Fiance has it and has been off work for a while.

I lost 1 & 1/2 kilos in a day.

Could you send it over to me RobbieF I could handle a 1.5 kg weight loss.

Seriously are we this desperate to explain our inabilities.

If a couple of guys had the flu why did they play?

WE had an excess ( above the 12 allowed ) at Casey so there were plenty of players available to fill 22 spots.

Sounds like cobblers to me.

Excellent binman

Really glad to see you have not lost your sense of humour

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
