Sorry forgot to put this in training thread, spoke to Kent, his heel was feeling fine, have to see how it is after training, then maybe a run with Casey if it is ok, same as what Misson said, he was limping on Sunday at Family Day so has made a quick recovery, did nearly whole sessiion

That's good news. Shame he isn't in the squad v Essendon but he still gets a chance to impress at Casey this week or next and I'm sure they get more flexibility at Casey with playing time than v Ess now it's down to 4 plus 2 subs on the bench.

And he will at least get to prove himself against a real team.

Let's remember that the Bombers are our bunnies even when they're at full strength.

2014 gained some ground by the 140-point loss in 2013 negates anything achieved in the 2011 and 2012 wins against the Bombers.

Just a couple of things... you have used the US spelling of criticise and usually the last item in a list should end with a full stop.

Actually the "Administrators" should give a three month suspension to anybody using American (English US) spelling in Demonland posts. Punctuation should attract a seven day suspension.

I am probably going to be taking our Japanese exchange student for his only taste of footy while he is here. Not a great drawcard, but beating Essendon will help!

They'll eat nearly anything i'm told.

If you go back far enough hardtack the 'ze' has germanic/latin origins. The English imported the 'ze' to America. If it wasn't for the Norman Conquest, the English would still be using 'ze' but instead the French introduced their 'se' and things got complicated. My rule is simple, 'ze' unless the word has French origins, such as surprise.

Go Deeze!

Whats going on with Fitzpatrick, out of favour?

Was he ever in favour??

Reasonable but limited skills are now seeing him out, Now that we have depth!

The surprise for me is how several who are less skilled still get named!

I think you know the two or three whom I talk about!

Just as well, given the garbage that is usually on sale. It is also probably a good thing that he knows nothing about the game ...

It took me a long time to zee what you mean, but thank you for zetting me straight. There are few things to change in my houze, not to mention my horzes and cheezes. Does that mean that a French zebra is a sebra?

Not to be on the negative bandwagon, but this is such a frustrating game for our club. The risk/reward scenario is so heavily favoured in risk for me; playing against players that view it as a last opportunity to put themselves out there, the possibility of injury (although always there whether it be game or training), and of course the potential embarrassment of losing to a team half made up of top ups.

I'm glad we're approaching this like round one, I want us to come out of the blokes and be up by 5 goals at quarter time and unlike last week I want us to go on with it. I want the team to view this as a statement to the competition, we are a new Melbourne.

    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.
