Like many things in science this is not a practical scientific truth. You will get many who argue the opposite, where diet is concerned there seems to be no consistency in the scientific community.

They can argue all they like, but this is not theory or hypothesis, it is FACT. At the level of amino acid delivery through diet, the full spectrum is available in a plant based diet. This is not complicated, nor is it disputable.

    The whole theory of diet is disputable 'Webber' and you know it.

    A vegetarian diet may or may not be best practice for an elite sportsperson, there is no fact here.

    I'm not debating 'diet'. There is no question that a uniformly 'ideal' diet for everybody does not exist. Different people, different needs. I'm talking about the provision of complete protein via a plant based diet as biochemical fact.

    Then the MFC has no chance of winning this game then DemonOX as they will not be anywhere near them at 3/4 time.

    I live in hope DemonFrog cause that's all we got.

    Peter Siddle is doing a vegetable diet and i'd say he is a pretty handy sportsmen, i think it changes person to person

    Any chance Jordie might play this weekend? Just saw him having lunch with big Spencer! Another one Roos is trying to protect from AFL level footy until the develop?

    We have no one to kick goals so I guess no goals=loss and it really is a matter of how much we can stem the tide.

    It's a pity if we have to play Pederson and Byrnes again but I bet we do.

    I'm not sure if Blease is the answer, but I guarantee Byrnes isn't so he should come in. Bernie has to play in the middle, Tapscott has to show if he cam play and should go in to the forward line to replace him.

    Gawn to replace Fitzy if he can't play, or Pederson if he can.

    Thanks for that Robbie

    Now I am very glad I am in Sydney and won't be able to go.

    Not what I'm saying 'Sassy', I think the subject is debatable were as 'Weber' states it as fact.

    It could also be argued that Siddle is not the bowler he was.

    Happy to help.

    Might join you up there, or might just go anywhere.

    Just thinking we got Hogan and Dawes and Barry in trades and none of them are playing this week.

    The really sad part Robbie is I don't think the first two will play before May at the earliest and the third is not up to it.

    Roosy has just said that max Gawn is just about a definite starter this week vs WC

    Plonk the big fella at full forward, he will straighten us up

    Would also like to see Blease come in. We need goals and he loves them.

    Gawn, Blease, Howe and Fitzy (if he recovers from concussion) up forward will at least give us a chance to kick a winning score

    h_h Blease has kicked 24 goals in 31 games i.e. an average of 0.77 / game

    Not sure where you get "We need goals and he loves them". he is a one trick pony IMO

    He does an occasional dash and then takes ten minutes to recover.

    Who would you take out to give him a run?

    siddle doesnt play a contact sport in a position that requires strength and tackling

    That weak bodied Brett Kirk was a vegetarian.

    He played that role in the intra club game I saw (Yes, this vastly different) and he looked good. I reckoned at the time he was being groomed for this tall forward, hard to match up on role. In any event WC are going to kill us for size so have to bring him in.

    Yers I don't think you need to be PR to work that one out Bbo

    There is no one else

    Byrnes...In a heartbeart, forget that he kicked two goals last week, he was lucky to be on the end of a great run by Watts and kicked another 30m out. Didn't see him do anything else.

    Just saw the injury update - Dawes still the old 2-3 weeks. Must be the slowest calf rehab in history. Wonder if we're not being told porkies and it's his degenerative knee. Also said Hogan at least another 2-3. Everything seems to take forever!

    A couple of weeks ago Chook I was saying that 2-3 is football speak for 426.

    Nothing since has convinced me otherwise.

    Forget both till May.

    I don't think Dawes will play in 2014 unfortunately.

    What do you base this on?

    His health since joining the MFC has been as follows

    Twelve from twenty two last year including a calf injury.

    Failed to make it through a game day warm up session.

    Had a calf tightness a month ago had has not appeared on the training since.

    Sent to the sports institute in Canberra because they had no idea what the problem is.

    Do you see a trend here?

    I thought Hogan was TBA.

    Got a reputable source for 2-3 weeks?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
