    I went to the closed session today.

    No one told me to p155 off.

    I was the only spectator there.

    It was just specific skills training.

    Kicking straight over 20m was very impressive. Low sharp passing dead straight. Chest high.

    Hogan was doing laps.

    Watts was very upbeat and vocal in the kicking drills.

    Hunt was a bit embarrassed with the few tat didn't hit the target.

    Viney was there today Pata

    The Rehab group arrived about 10:15 Gawn Pedo no sign of Dawes and Clarky.

    I tried to ask Ben Matthews a question, but was fresh aired.

    I guess that's the different with closed training. Their mouth is closed.

    Getting close to the pointy end. Loose lips and all that.

    Can you feel it? Go deees!

    I'm excited.

    Demons put a line through Clark for round one

    There was hope that Clark would be fit to lead the Demons' forward line in the opening round, but the club has come to the realisation that he has not had an adequate preparation.

    The serious foot injury that kept Clark sidelined for almost the whole of 2013 is a thing of the past, but a niggling hamstring injury has not settled in time.

    The Demons are likely to be light on for tall options in the forward line early in the season, with Chris Dawes on a similar timeframe to Clark.

    Wonder how long it will be until we see Dawes and Clark in the team together?

    Wasn't Dawesy supposed to be playing against the Hawks? must be a fair hamstring for clark to be out this long.. :/

  • Quote

    In the same article Mahoney said Dawes was a week to two weeks away.

    He is nowhere near as far off as Clark is.

    No suprise about Clark. I think Dawes may be a bit behind as well. I highly doubt he will be ready for round 1.

    Hogan, Fitzpatrick, Pedersen and Howe. I'm pretty happy with that for round 1. Hopefully JKH will get a game.

    Still think we will beat the saints, and hopefully Dawes will be getting a game shortly after.

    I would love to have Clark back and over his injuiries 100%

    Terrible shock, Dawes is out.

    Obviously being conservative with Dawes. Hopefully he plays a VFL practice match next week (if not this week) and then can be right round 2 if 1 game isn't enough for round 1.

    Clark, who knows. Very happy to play the long waiting game with him.

    You say that tm as if we have a choice.

    It may seem strange but since very early this year I have not thought of Clark as being part of the team for the most part of 2014 if at all.

    All my calculations as to wins etc do not include him.

    I also have Dawes only playing a minor part in 2014 as well.

    We desperately need Dawes this year but he has looked brittle since his arrival last year.

    In the same article they listed Tapscott as " Small Utility "

    Seemed a strange description.

    Now I will declare I am not a fan but does that mean like me they are struggling to work out what he does?

    To be honest, I'm not. I think we'll have to end up making a call on Clark at the end of the season if he doesn't get onto the park for adequate game time.

    God knows he's taking up a fair chunk of the cap and not doing a whole lot. Obviously not his fault and it must be ultra frustrating for him.

    2015 to go Django.

    Not sure about him but is bloody frustrating for many of us out here in the outer.

    AH FFS I said this early last year , I will be surprised if dawes clark ever play in the same game , very surprised , aint gunna happen , sad that but face it , bugger bugger and bugger

    And just what exactly is it that HE has done that p!sses you off?

  • Quote

    Is anyone really surprised that MC ain't ready to go? He hasn't been any where near completing a full preseason.

    (I recall Richardson had similar problems but importantly he did get back on the park).

    As for Dawes every time he seems up and about he gets injured.

    Looks like the forward line will be Hogan, Fitz and Howe

  • Quote

    If Clark re-injures the foot, I'm sure he'll retire.

    Love Clark, I like Dawes. Damn shame that their careers both look set to be ruined.

  • Quote

    I know they are both injured, but man i am getting over not having them on the park.
    Feels like we are constantly living in "hope" with these two.
    This imaginary forward line is trying my patience, especially now we actually have a midfield who can deliver them the damn ball!
    I get they are injured, but man it's frustrating.
    Talk about dingling the darn' carrot.

  • Quote

    Another season of "injured" (weak) gutless spud losers.

    Might be worth the wait in the end......be patient, but yeh I agree with you.

    If we can get Dawes back on the park within the next few weeks, we'll be right.

    Then we can be as safe with Clark as possible, and give him enough time for him to be able to play football for years to come.

    Mark my words - they will play together in the side, when? I don't know, but they will.

  • Quote

    This is Clarks 3rd season.

    He is getting $800,000 a year.

    He is out of contract at the end of September 2015, I think.

    He has played 15 games for Melbourne Football Club.

    please someone tell me Ive got it wrong.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
