There was an amazing moment at training today where, during a full team kick-in simulation, Trengrove, cleverly intercepted  the ball and fired the ball back over the head of the defender for a goal.

Can't remember specifics, but I'm sure partyboy has runs on the board.

I assume he has some good mail, but it is hit & miss. Don't dismiss it out of hand.

Yeah sorry what were you saying?

I completely agree with this but if they are going to do it you would want him getting a good block of footy in that role at Casey. I am surprised that he has been used predominantly as an inside mid. 

I'm not surprised by the inside mid bit. It lets him just play football with less focus on structures and less demands on pace.

Yes, we (me) all fall into that trap, Stu.  But it's a quote worth remembering.

I called him on it straight away, based on his previous "information" being Goodwin to be head coach this year and Shiel to be a Hawk this year.

If you read the posts, it came out he was just guessing. People that post guesses as information should be treated as such.

Hope you learned a lesson.

Yeah, I read it, Stu, but it's small fish mate and not worth the "I told you so's".

The guy worded it poorly.

Surely if speed is such an issue the Club would have tested his 20, 50 & 100 mtr sprints by now and would be able to compare them to his speed before he was injured. Those records  must be around. That would tell everyone exactly whether he's got his speed back or if not how far off he is. It would also tell them how much speed he is getting back progressively since he started running again. Surely if he is slow as hell they'd know and he'd know and he'd know he's cactus. On the other hand if they are going ok they would all know and it would all be good. You'd think they'd know that if as one poster said B McC said he' s now officially in contention for selection.

I was under the impression from what Roos has said that it's Trengove himself that has to put his hand up first, we don't know if he's done this yet. He might well feel he's still getting the feel of the game back into him through VFL and that he doesn't want to put his hand up for selection until he's absolutely sure.

Pates, read back a couple of pages, there was mail from a couple of posters that he has put his hand up.

I did note that Max Gawn on Marngrook mentioned that Jack is getting back into the swing and had bruises in places he hasn't had for a long time.  There was nothing sinister in what he said, I got the impression Jack was getting used to being battered around again.

I'm most disappointed, because I will miss any comeback game in the next month because we are interstate and I can't make QB this year.

Pretty selfish of me really.

Nothing has changed.

Obviously you get zero mail on anything, otherwise you'd understand how tenuous the veracity of it can be at times.

It wasn't "mail" it was a guess. If you read the posts you will see he eventually admitted that.

Imagine how much (more) rubbish there'd be here if we all posted our guesses as rumours or facts.

Anyway, back to Jack T.

Really disappointed he won't be playing this week. I can't believe that Jack wouldn't contribute as least as much as our bottom 5 players, eg Bugg, Wagner, Michie.

Plus it would be a good story for a match that desperately needs some interest.

I'm told he has put his hand up this for the first time this week.... in 2 years. 

Pretty big news, but I am not to know what happens at selection.

Whether it be this week, next, or the week after, you better have the defibrillator handy. 

Regardless of the hair splitters, still good information. Thanks for sharing.

I reckon there'd be a fair few getting around the club IT.

Love your work Ethan. Was tempted to leave that typo there. Testes and Speed often go hand in hand so to speak.

As i said earlier, Macca said at training Jack is looking to play senior footy again so the club will really start looking at him on a form basis as of this weekend and i'm sure he'll be back in the mix in the next 2-3 weeks.

will be a fantastic day for the club when jack is back out on the G and reminding everyone how good a player he is.

By all accounts his performances at Casey have been pretty good, and his fitness is up to scratch.

IMO the club has missed an opportunity to lure another 5000, maybe 10000 patrons to what could be an otherwise awful game at an unsociable Sunday time slot by not bringing Jack back for this game.

I think our efforts at marketing this sort of thing have been just below awful.

Bring  him back when the time is correct not for a marketing reason.

Maybe you miss my point - he appears by all accounts to be ready, AND this would be a suitable opposition to 're-debut' him, AND it would be good for marketing.

He appears to be ready from the outside but if the coaches don't think he is ready then it's simple he doesn't play.

There is a problem with this mono.

Either he does not think he is ready or the FD don't think he is otherwise he would be playing.

Or am I missing something?

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
