I thought that there may be a couple more changes But we have to trust our Coaching Group, Roosy has made a point of saying that they are managing the work loads of all players and the young ones in particular. I am enjoying going to the Footy again, let's hope we turn up to play and stay with it for the four quarters. - Go Dee's

PS( I thought that we hobbled Trenner's and Grimes with the Captaincy in their formative years when they should have been developing their skills and stamina, always thought that Brad Green had two years left in him)

Last week i was confident, and predicted an 8 goal win... this week i expect a loss for some reason.... Port by 27 points.

Years of mistrust are hard to ignore i guess.

 

Go dees.

Becoming vegetarian has nothing to do with it. The science and knowledge has moved way beyond this myth.  You do not have to eat meat to be strong or have energy or whatever else you think eating meat gives you. Eating a balanced vegetarian diet ( not vegan) is far healthier and better for digestive purposes and cardiovascular health.  All risk factors decrease, and it is good for the environment , not to mention the cruelty of killing living creatures. A balanced vegetarian diet does not decrease energy levels.

Aah there is the crux...Not vegan

see i consider a true vegetarian to be a vegan...

I'm not overly sentimental when it comes to (most) footballers, but I have tremendous respect and empathy for Jack Grimes.  He's stagnant on 98 games and deserves to play 100 for the MFC.  Some will look at it from a F/S point of view, but that's a distant consideration. 

He's not best 22, but the club needs to make sure he reaches this milestone.  He's not so far behind a Bugg, or a couple of others, that it would compromise our winning chances. 

It would be terribly disappointing if he left this club without his name on the locker.  He deserves it.

Hear, hear.

I don't necessarily disagree with this but my first thought is its wrong. If it were the case wouldn't the club dieticians etc have everyone on a vegetarian diet? Do you know of any other professional athletes where strength/power is a key attribute that don't eat meat?

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
