Anyone else cringe for a second when he gets the ball thinking it's McKenzie? Might take me a while to get used to it.

Nar if Clarry Choo Choo is the ultra sleeeeeeeeek monorail number I have depicted 

Jordy Mc Kenzie is the "Little red Caboose behind the train"!

Clarry Choo Choo masquerading as the "Oliver Express" is meaner much meaner than some of the characters in the classic movie

"Midnight Express"

I was looking at the pics at training today when this occurred to me - if Norm Smith was the Red Fox, maybe Clarry is the Red Bull.

How lucky are we to have two young beasts like Oliver and Petracca?

It's like having Wolverine and Captain America, throw in Viney as Iron man

Need a small man for AntMan. I can visualize Kennedy in ant man mode.

See!!!!

Clarry Choo Choo gets changed to some crappy name and away from the cold iron name Clarry Choo Choo and he misses to a weak corky.

Lumumba is Black Panther,  Frost the Winter Soldier naturally..

Will be missed around the ball this week. He's already very important to us around stoppages so hopefully he is back in next week.

When he learns to kick more precisely he will be an absolute gun. I made the comparison with Michael Voss when he first arrived and he seems to be vindicating that more as he gathers games under his belt. His first instinct is usually to hand pass, and he has sensational hands and vision in traffic. I wonder whether kicking has become such a non-proffered option because he is less confident or doesn't have time to clear traffic and balance himself. His hands and vision in packs are so good that maybe he is not ready or prepared when he gets clear. I am very excited about this guy! And he tackles for keeps!

When they're all fit and firing Imagine how scary it will be for other midfields to face Jones, Viney, VDB, Petracca, Oliver, Trengove, Bugg, Kennedy, Tyson, Vince around stoppages time and time again. Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! No let up. The Swans have this now and the Hawks and Cats have had it in the past. Midfields full of GRUNT!!!

Absolutely will be missed LT. I hope Dom is in for an absolute cracker. 

Whilst I do like Oliver for the Rising Star still, I'll now concede that if Petracca can play the remaining games and play like last week, it will be all his.

Tyson has played well against Port in the past, IIRC. I believe in his first season with us he earned 6 Brownlow votes against them.

Saw this as well, but I think the poster meant Vanders. No confirmation at the moment either so I wouldn't look too deep into the story. Clarry should be good to go for this weekend and for the rest of the season.

I thought Clarry performed very well on Monday his 16 possesions were classy, in close and insicive. I particularly loved his bone jarring Tackle in the last quarter I think it was when he "Rag Dolled" some poor Magpie player and buried him almost into the underground car park! 

That plus mid 20ts "Selfless Acts"

Clarry Choo Choo/ Oliver Express stopping no stations.. Luv ya work son!

What does that tell you??  Besides the fact his original tilte was "Cool"?

He doesn't need to get a heap of it, but he more often than not gets the contest going our way

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
