"viney gawn and jones also carrying illness, but apparently well enough to play. seems like something going through the club. Hopefully we're not flat"

 

That's a bit of a worry!!

If it's true.

Every Melbourne supporters reaction when Viney slams Robinson into the MCG turf in the first minute of the game:

It can stem from an inability to mature properly and form adult relationships. But this is not the time or place to discuss it.

So all I know is the score, and the Demonland commentary. I gather we're terrible, no hope of making the finals ever again, and this will go down as the worst 10 goal victory of all time. Does that ab

Have just heard it on good authority that 21 of our 22 players are struggling with this "mystery" illness....

Only Bernie Vince is 100% fit although struggling slightly with a hangover

Conspiracy?

some people  have been putting illness in quotes - implying they are suggesting there is something else going on.  Tin-hats on everyone.

Convenient that the names mentioned are our key players.

Does it happen to be affecting Garland, Hunt, Wagner, etc.

once they cross the line they're fit, if they have a bit of a bug, or winter cold, then run through it for 2 hours and they're done. every club has bugs go through the team but still field 22 players. I got a text saying that about 6 players were carrying a bit of an illness. First time I've ever got "inside info" and posted it. A friend was out for dinner with someone that works at the club last night.

Well, at least if a number of our players are carrying this illness/bug there is a huge chance that we may indeed $hit all over Brisbane!

That's a fair point. Perhaps the Lions would be more worried about the Bugg that's about to run through them.

I wrote illness in quotation marks because I was quoting a quote. Or maybe I'm part of a grand conspiracy to bastardise punctuation marks?

My mates a bulldogs supporter and just asked what he thought we'd go like today and she said the team seemed up but half a dozen players were a bit ill, he sent me the three names and tyson, my mate loves winding me up at the same time, but the illness seems to check out. Could be pulling my leg on the other names, but Tyson was correct.

Sounds like rubbish to me. Sure 22 may run out, but if players have say a cold, then it must affect their ability to run for 2 hours.

Sounds like people on here are already making excuses about illness in case we lose. FFS they are professional footballers.

    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
