I am, for one. Happy to report back about it to those who aren't.

Won't be too good if no-one shows up after last weeks showing, could seem like we've turned our backs on them a bit. I don't know, maybe I'm over -thinking it; still, I'm happy to go to support the guys, this week could be the one where our fortunes begin to change.

Dawesy running around with the group. Sellar isn't though

Could this be seen as an indication that Dawes may make a return in this game - ease him in and give GWS a headache?

Thanks 1994 keep up the good work. WIsh I could be there (although maybe not given the conditions).

Man it would be nice to have Chris Dawes playing forward for us right now.

Would be even better if we could get the ball forward...

Interesting that Tommy Mac and Viney left the main training to go run light laps on another oval (where Dawes, Sellar and Gillies are)

Probably enough work for them and to keep them fresh for Saturday.

Maybe, but not unusual. I imagine Viney will be eased from a lot of training this year to protect him. And Tommy Mac has had 2 big games since coming back from injury. Chasing Hurley and Darling around in a team getting smashed isn't an easy task.

Would give the team a huge lift, if Dawes and Gawny ran out on sunday.

If sure Gawny will but Missions injury updates are usually correct and he said no Dawes this week and 50/50 next week. Even then I think he'd be best back through Casey considering he played 1 mini preseason game before missing 8+ weeks.

Ok, I've left now, they were wrapping it up.

Final points:

- Jamar left the complex about half an hour early, after getting his back worked on. He may be doubtful.

- Kent looked very good (again). Maxy Gawn looked good too

- Dawesy is a running machine. Powered through plenty of laps. On the other hand Gillies could barely run, so regardless of form I doubt he'll play

- Dunny cut Blease's head open, leading to a lot of crimson being expelled, and of course, jokes about how his face matches his hair colour..

That's about it, they looked solid, but being as wet as it was, hard to get a read on their actual form.

Cheers

Was wondering why Blease had such a heavy bandage

How did Dunn cut Blease's head? We already know that Dunn hit Bail when Bail was wearing a vest telling players to go easy on him. We know Dunn is fond of rabbit punching on field but failing to go when it is his turn. Now Blease is cut?

More detail is required, but I reckon there is enough there is suggest that Dunn could leave now and we'd lose nothing.

Which having Dawes at FF would help us do, due to how his inclusion in the team would affect the position of other players... your point?

Hit him hard in a tackle. Blease stayed down for 5 seconds or so, then Dunny lifted him up by the back of his shirt, slapped him on the back of the head and continued going about training. Blease went off, got taped up, and came back on 15 minutes later or so. Was quite a bit of blood.

Don't think he did it in a menacing way though...was playing hard, which is what we need to do in an actual game! Do it to Scully, then I'll be happy

Watched Dawes when he went across to the other oval and he was put through a quasi fitness test, which he seemed to get through without too many worries.

Would surprise me if he played but he is not very far away.

The other one I watched really closely was Kent, still don't know why he hasn't played, every time I see him he just looks a ready made AFL footballer.

Likes it tough and looks to be hard at the ball with good disposal, just what we are screaming out for, maybe this week.

What a dork - he'd never do that in a game - at least not to anyone other than a kid or someone not looking.

The sooner we get rid of him the better.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
