It's a shame that the GWS game is next week and not in a few weeks, they would've been the perfect opposition to roll him out to for the first game. Perhaps the last round, bring him in similar fashion to what we did with Grimes a few years back. Just give him (and the supporters) a taste of what's to come.

Sounds like he's raring to go, not surprising, must feel like a caged animal!

Glad to hear Toumpas is back healthy again, I really want him to do well, and he's shown glimpses but nothing concrete yet.

Thanks for the report Saty.

Unbelievable that Pedersen has to miss a few weeks and have Surgery but Merrett gets off free! Disgusting MRP!!

He did everything, if that is what you mean, the whole session, so kicking, tackling, ground ball, end to end, he was moving really well, even had Salem firing kicks at head height from about 5 metres

Hogan playing a game is probably the only thing that could raise my care factor from negative ten to two, maybe three, hurry up and kill the season.

Go Rams!

I hope Toumpas returns to the seniors before the end of the year.

Would be good to see the Toump, Salem and Hogan get a run before the end of the year, would much rather the kids play than blokes like Tapscott

I'd be surprised to see the Toump on the play again in the senior team this year. You can lose a lot of conditioning after a surgery like that. Best thing for him would be to look towards the pre season and start fresh. Maybe get in the last 2 games at Casey

Cheers for the update report. Can't believe Merrett didn't cop a suspension.

You must be naïve and / or have not been watching MRP rulings, if you believed that there would ever be any consistency or honour in their rulings.

I am not sure whether I should be more concerned were they proven corrupt or merely inept

Disgusting MRP!!

His Coach joined the long line of commentators who were stunned he wasn't given at least 2 weeks.

We have to learn, as someone already said on here," the head is sacrosant, unless it is a Melbourne player." Sylvia says "Hi" to Eagle Josh Kennedy.

That was part of my weighting.. It just flies in the face of what everyone ( nearly ) thought would be the outcome. He ( Leppa) is like the cat that got the cream, cant believe Merrett is still selectable.

The MRP isnt even a joke.....theyre funny...the panel isnt

It's funny because after last week's game I was as disenchanted as I have ever been, but now with another game closing I have it back.

I think it's the feeling (or desperate hope) that the boys will be intent on making up for what was their absolute worst effort of the year.

I want to see what they can give us the next few weeks, and I will be seriously p$#@ed off if we don't win at least the GWS game.

We can say farewell to Strauss, Nicholson, Blease and McKenzie without a backward look. There might still be more to learn.

Apparently you can do whatever you like against a Melbourne player and not get suspended, but God forbid a Melbourne player do something that has a whiff of controversy - just check out the Jack Viney and Jack Trengove results - still can't believe Trenners copped 3 weeks for something no one else has ever been cited for!!

That stills hold the record for me. Suspended for an attempt, which the other player avoided and fell to the ground hurting himself slightly.

That could only happen to a Melbourne player.

I could imagine what the Scott brothers would have said if he played for them.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
