    As much as I get frustrated with those naysayers. This picture is fresh pudding.

    I would like to eat the pudding for a couple of years.

    I...I really butchered that idiom...

    From the picture it looks as if they had to amputate his left leg. Still, maybe better off without it, but will have to learn a new kicking style. :-))

    I would rather play a Mitch Clark with no legs than a Pedersen with two.

    And with those 12 simple words, this site just moved from a PG to an MA15+ rating.

    Good to see Mitch up and running again.
    As for pre-season, I will wait and see if this leads to improved performance in the new year. I remember hearing reports of Dunn and Jetta running the tan this time last year and people on this site collectively swooning as though this meant that the boys were behind Neeld. :huh::rolleyes:

    Must be weird for Mitch being the one without the camera.

    Hope he focuses on his development though. Needs more exposure to AFL football.

    I don't remember that. I remember people saying this is exactly what they should have been doing.

    I remember one game this year, Pederson missed a goal from like 10 meters out. I think it was even a set shot. I tweeted "I'm pretty sure I could have kicked that one, and i'm a Yank." Someone told me to test it out. So the next morning I went out to a park, got a football, set markers apart, the width of the goal, counted off 10 meters and had a crack. I'm proud to report I would have kicked a goal on my first attempt. My second attempt looked like something from a footy horror show. Came squarely off the side of my foot and nearly took out a squirrel who was camped out under a tree to the right of me.

    That is good mate. One thing I should point out though. We don't have squirrels in aust as for as I know. I reckon you nearly took out a possum with your second kick at goal. Don't worry I have wanted to take those little buggers out many a time when they jump, hiss and mate on my roof in the middle of the night!!

    Not pre-season, but guys getting on with some training anyway in their holiday, using the facilities.

    The better they come back, the better the preseason will be. Great to see Clark up and running, for sure!

    Damn good determination on one leg. Must have been a dog attack

    Well, he hasn't.

    Oh no. Dear god no. Were not talking about the preseason....all I remember last year is comments from Neeld saying how well our preseason is going, how well it went during our heavy losses. I hate preseason and wish I could avoid all the discussions on it. There are 17 other teams who will have a great preseason. Personally, I couldn't give a s***

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
