Melbourne v Essendon @ Etihad Stadium - 20th March, 2015

Footballers then only trained Tues and Thurs.....They had full time jobs

The coach was in charge of every thing to do with fitness and only had an assistant if he was lucky

The game was a lot slower and players played in position

Watson was still at school....and they were allowed to do goal kicking practise without some one telling them that they can't because it will cause muscle overload

and they hit the grog with regularity like normal young aussie men do! Not really allowed if you're a footy player anymore!

There is a World Cup Semi Final on today.

I know what i will be watching.

This is an Essendon Home game. I will never have anything to do with Essendrug when they have a potential to make money. They are the only club to make money out of that Corporate Slag Heap.

I spoke to him the other day, he is very optimistic about returning, needs to get through next surgeon's meeting and then he can take a 'step' forward again, still got a career to look forward to if the foot behaves

To be fair I don't think he was ever going to say "My foots [censored] and I'm never going to play again."

I'll be there getting sloshed for one of two reasons.

1. To make the celebration of a 100-point-plus win all the more exciting and fun.

or

2. To help feed the depression if they lose, because I love pain.

Right at the end of training when the forwards were practising goal kicking Garlett speared a ball across behind the goals and right in to JKH's right hamstring/glute. He jokingly apologised and other players had a laugh, but come his turn to kick JKH shanked a couple of shots and clearly looked uncomfortable before walking off.

I didn't want to alarm anyone if he was going to be fine anyway but now he's out of the side I'd like to give some explanation for mystery injury of the week.

Also Garlett's a freaking moron and our players are stupid. But we knew all of that.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
