Thanks samael. A shame for viv. He'll get there. I hope.

He was on standby if Viney did not come up.

Went to training today, with the lad. Feeling the love -  a few things in particular struck me:

 - Skills have improved considerably over the past year or so: much quicker and more accurate.

 - There is a fantastic camaraderie amongst this group - they seem incredibly tight.

 - Clayton Oliver is a beast - silky smooth and tough as they come. He could be one of the most inspired signings for years.

 - Jack Watts looks more and more assured and self-confident. He's clearly a leader amongst the group.

 - So glad to have Bernardo Vincenzo (as he's known in our house) at the MFC. The new smiling assassin.

 - Always impressed at the interraction between players and supporters at our club. Christian Petracca was straight over to the kids after the training session, signing shirts and high fiving.

 

Noticed that Dunny seemed a bit on the outer - running laps by himself, but not in the buzz of things.

Thanks all those Demonlanders for coming down to training despite what was going to be a wet and blustery day. We made a nice amount of money which will go to the Demon Army to continue their great work - hopefully some more "heads". Great to see so many kids there.

Yes Nev was swamped but not the last to leave - H was still doing laps. Very funny listening to Watts and Dawes sledge Petracca. Fantastic camaraderie

And thanks to you and the other unsung members of the Demon Army who man the sausage sizzles at training and the telephones on Tuesday nights.

Clarry time! Bit of live tackle practice for Harmsey with Clarry acting bag man. Nev (left with actual bag) and Tracc (hands on knees facing cam) looking on....

Yes he can! This one curled straight through the high diddle diddle.  In fact I didn't see the Hulk miss a shot from about 6 attempts from various angles and distance ...let's hope that form continues into QB

"Any attempt to put Tracc of his kick", says Dawesy (bit of revenge from Tracc's earlier attempts to do same!) ...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    PREGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
