They were 3 ordinary games Dazzle, take the emotion out of it, neither Grimes or Trengove in the team is a good thing. Roos is there every training session, he knows what they can and can't do, Roos i

I think you sometimes forget that Picket Fence is 12 years old.

Of the five ins, who do u think will replace Wagner and Oliver?

I think Grimes is a certain inclusion, and then take your pick of Harmes and M. Jones for Oliver.  I don't think Michie or Garlett have done enough to get the call up as yet.

Surely Grimes takes Wagner's spot this week. Surely.

As for replacing Oliver, none of the other ins are really the right type of player. I wouldn't mind M Jones getting a recall. He didn't do anything wrong when he was in the side at the start of the year.

Won't be happy if Grimes comes in. Tells the world all you need to do if you want you want to play a game is talk about jumping ship

Still, as usual olisik drawing a long bow.

Oliver omitted is crazy.

Absoluteley agree, In other newsI I notice Jarryd Lyons is named in Adelaide's team. A very good onballer,  I think he is the  son of One time Melbourne player, Marty Lyons!! 

If so, another who pased through the cracks! Doh!!

I know you want me to guess Picket. Perhaps I'll eliminate a couple. I'd be stunned if you taught English in any capacity. That's out. You've also said that you're popular with your clientele. On that basis I've ruled out human beings. I'm left with greyhound trainer.

I wouldn't worry too much about Oli Picket he'll be right. His tank has been a problem all year, would prefer to see him run  out some games in the VFL before he gets back in.

Would prefer to see Harmes and M.Jones get a run before Grimes and Michie and I doubt that Garlett has done enough to get back in the side.

Popular with clientele hey! Does this involve night shifts?

Last time Bernie did a glorious job of roughing up Dangerfield and taking him out of the game while having a cracking, attacking game himself.  This time Sloane is the dangerman.  Bernie or Bugg to take him out for us to have a chance!

Crows forward 6 look downright scary!  Our on-ballers need to work super hard defensively to stop the ball getting into Crows forward half - starve them of opportunities or we will be toast!

Glad Wagners out of the side albeit through injury... Hopefully Grimes gets a run and takes his chance and keeps him out.

100% spot on LH. This is where the game will be won or lost - the defensive effort and work rate of our midfield. The game against St. Kilda was a classic example.

Also, one-on-one, the Crows forward personnel are a class above our developing defenders. If our midfield does not work super hard, it could be a horrible result.  Add Bugg to Sloane, and ensure our half forwards are awake and aware of the drive the Crows get from half back and we should match it with them.

From that summary this could go either horribly wrong or right Maldon! There goes my peaceful nights sleep (or two!)

    TRAINING: Wednesday 19th February 2025

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time. Activities included kicking for goal,  aerial , contest work etc. I noticed the following players not in match simulation Jack Viney  running laps and looks fine for round one . I think Kolt looks like he’s im

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
