We owe Mitch Robinson plenty.....

When do we play Carlton again?!

Even if Pigdog's not at full fitness, I hope the match committee select him for this game. Match ups are a relevant consideration after all ...

Saturday 12th April

However you may not get your wish as Robinson is not a regular starter at the Blues nowadays.

You may have to rely on Casey.

Correct me if I am wrong jr but that was in 2011 before 186.

Six wins from 54 games later it does not seem to have changed a lot.

I reckon that supporters are more worked up about that than the players.

As well half the players from that year are gone

Mind you, Mitch Robinson, although a thug and a cretin, unfairly cops it for branding MFC as "bruise-free footballers."

It actually came from a commentator (Dermie, I believe) and Robinson was merely asked if he agreed, to which he stupidly repeated the phrase and then gave a non-committal answer.

But he did belt a casey player, giving him a concussion.

Was it Bail?

Yeah, Bennell and Morton came in for the "Bruise-Free" event which didn't aid the cause.

I missed all of the second quarter looking for my Carlton-supporting mates which was a fortunate stroke.

It was immediately before we played Essendon, I believe.

Another of our string of upsets against the bombers during those years.

Riley has just gone onto the long term injury list.....

doesn't that just mean he can't play for 6 weeks, which would not be unexpected

sounds like roosy wants to release one of the rookies, not hard to guess who

Unprovoked cowardly act behind the play. Bail's first & probably most severe concussion.

I would think Harmes would be ahead of Jetta based on the training reports.

I was being facetious.

I'd think it'd be Mr. Bean for an underdone Garland.

Bail has never been the same since - no tribunal penalty, for anyone, can be severe enough for any hit to the head, especially behind play.

Thought it was Jordie.

It was Bail. Paul Wheatley remonstrated and spent the rest of the game bumping and pushing him whenever he came near.

Correct. New breed coming through.....but I reckon that interview will still be played, somewhere, sometime, some place....

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
