Would the club (Misson) appreciate you confirming that certain players won't be playing?

While I appreciate it is selection day, there's nothing to say Pedo wouldn't be named with no intention of him playing, just to "attempt" to throw the opposition off a bit.

I realise it's Hawthorn and they wouldn't GAF who we named and who actually played, but don't think it's your best work Saty.

Also, I wonder if those training in the Casey team are going to be dropped, or more to give them a better match up (ie Riley might've tagged Jones, which would be better than tagging Nicholson). Make sense?

Nah, I asked Misso a couple of straight question Me: "where's Pedo?" DM "he is having an operation on his nose today" Me "so he won't be playing on Saturday"" DM "nope"

Nah, Riley, Blease, McKenzie, weren't in the 'team talk' at the end of the end to end session

 

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 away at one point to get his reflexes up, ended up the session by competing with TomMcDonald on catching ridiculous bombs put as high as possible but only standing about 10 metres apart, Tommy Mc misjudged one in the rain, hence the decapitation mentioned above. Roos watched this 'training' and was very amused, probably more by Hogan looking ready to go

That is awesome, sounds like a competitive beast!!

 

Thanks Saty, I forgot you had secret codes with Misso, Roosy and co about what can be published on Demonland and what couldn't be.

I think the days of Dave Dunbar hanging in a tree pretending to be a Koala are long gone, each club has contingency plans for the unexpected, Hawthorn probably know who we are going to put on the park before we on here do, Misso knows I post on here, so obviously he doesn't have an issue, you seem to be the only one that does


Thanks Saty. I wish we had some gee whiz filter that selectively ignored. Annoying to have to click view any way on your training reports.By the by i happened to have the chance of speaking to Nev after the demons game and complimented him on his game. As you have said he is very focused on playing his role and doing his job - he knew exactly how many kicks his opponent, Green, had.

I asked about the hit he got from Merret and said i was amazed he didn't get 50 as he clunked the mark. He was also amazed but didn't know that it had been paid a free kick (shocking decision btw that cost us a shot on goal). Said that he was pretty sore - how was he at training?

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

Disgusting MRP!!

How many millions of times have I told you not to exagerate!!

Nev was fine at training, he is straight down the middle, there is no grey with him, I have mentioned previously that if he gets whacked wears it as a badge of honour as it means he is doing his job, just happy he is fit and firing and playing the role he loves, enjoyed the training, he reckons when it's wet brings everybody back to his level of speed, reckon first three names on teamsheet in the last couple of weeks have been Jetta, Dunn, Bail not the most skilled trio but consistent and who play exactly the role Roos wants

Contrary to that Saty I think Dunn and Jetta are among the best in the team.

Both can hit targets by hand and foot over most distances.

This does not surprise me at all. It is why calls for Bail to be dropped or god forbid traded are ridiculous. Runs hard both ways, presents, always puts in and above all plays his role/does his job. I

Tyson noted in his interview that Roos had reemphasised the need to play the assigned role in the review of this weeks appalling game so one can only assume he is pretty annoyed players have not been doing so.

By the by i wondered why Roos didn't put Nev onto Bewick - he killed us. I don't think he had his best coaching game.

Actually when you speak to both of them, you will find they do that because in their opinion 'they play safe" ie they don't try things that are above their ability, I don't know whether Bail ran over your cat OD, but he is not as bad as you think, his % efficiency is quite consistent, and quite good (put that in another post)

Is it just a coincidence that our form has been down at the same time as Satyr's training reports appeared to have dried up?

I actually thought our form has been crap since Jordie Mckenzie has been back in the team.

Fortunately for the cat no Saty.

I don't think you will be surprised to know I think he is average on his good days.

Coz Green was a small forward who was in really good form, that's why Roos would love another 1 or 2 of Nev, that is why I thanked Jade Rawlings for persuading the club to keep Nev on, coz he knew as well if he could get a clear run at it, Roos would have one of his perfect role players, as I said this week should be a highlight, Puopolo v Jetta

On the other hand, maybe Misson is using Saty to bluff Hawthorn.... :rolleyes:

Wouldnt hurt hogan to play development league this weekend would it??

Disgusting MRP!!

Sounds a bit like Crows fans and Tom Lynch...

But I agree, Merrett should have gotten a week.

Why can't we put in a medical report like everyone seems to do against us!

Can't get quote to work again Hogan looks ready to rock, but they will probably convince him another week, he was bouncing around at training. Toumpas did the whole session, Casey group

 

I feel like it's February again. Funny how these reports can snap me out of my footy season blues. I reckon I'm the true blue sky junkie. Thanks Saty.

Most of us are. Out of necessity.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
