    After NAB 1 and 2 I thought that, but I think his performance in NAB 3 (which I thought was quite solid) has put him right in the picture to play.  I really didn't think he would be to AFL standard for the first half of the season, but I think things are looking good for him to debut this weekend.

    I think he offers some real creativity and vision off half back, and I have a feeling he is playing the role the coaches give him very well.

    All 3 NAB games and being part of the 18 running through match day scenarios on the eve of the season start?  I think he's very likely.

    It'll be a great half back line this week with Hunt, Oscar McDonald & Wagner

    Not for the players playing on Saturday, they used to have a light run the day before, but not since Roos took over, Casey have a praccy game as well some time over the weekend

    Damn! We can't make it down from Sydney until Thursday afternoon and my son was hoping we could catch a training session :-(

    Thanks DeeSpencer, but what is an "inverted winger"?

    Unfortunately we are without car (flying down), so Casey may be a bridge too far. Will put it to the boy depending on what public transport options are like.

    Thanks for the report Spencer.  The info re: the 18 who were doing some of the main drills was very interesting indeed.  It doesn't mean all of them will get picked, as there were some very handy players who didn't take part, but it gives us a pretty clear idea as to who will be playing come Saturday.

    I'll touch wood as I write this as well, but it's also terrific to see our injury list is pretty small for this time of the year.  Three wins and a small injury list is a great way to roll into Round 1!

    Fantastico!!  Thanks for that info... do you happen to know what the kick off time might be? (I should probably look it up myself I suppose)

    Not sure HT, i was just underscoring what the previous poster had said.  Check the club site I reckon.  Good luck, I will be in B@#$dy Ballarat for the weekend.

    Saty, do you have any idea what time the Casey match at Goschs will kick off?  I did a quick search of the MelbourneFC site and couldn't find anything.

    Thanks for asking...he's started running (but the shock of that gave him a touch of bursitis) and he had his first kick last Thursday...so coming along very nicely. He should be able to resume full training late April or early May.

    Thanks very much for that...I didn't even think to look under training times (thick as two short planks am I)

    Nah, when we're in Melbourne we always walk from the city to Goschs...it's quite a pleasant stroll along the Yarra.

    Could not be happier for him; hope he achieves everything he deserves.

    I was down there for an hour or so.

    Salem is still protecting his finger and not training at 100%, someone would have to be on stand-by, it must have been a fairly serious injury for him to carry it into a second week, and he will need to pass a fitness test later this week.

    Also Oliver had a minor twinge in his lower calf by the end of the session. I would suggest it is very minor but given he is still a kid they may choose to rest him, not sure. They may choose to ease him off and re-hab him for a week, but if he doesn't play for the firsts I doubt if he'll play at Casey.

    You guys are nailing these Jesus jokes.

     

    I think it's time I intervened. You are being very naughty boys. We are about to witness the resurrection of the MFC and all you boys can do is make silly puns. Stop it now or the mighty one will smite you to the ground and send you to bed without your dinner. 

    Now go and say three Hail Vineys and let's hear no more of this.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
