It was a joke precious, you need to stop being the arbiter of what people can post, the poster doesn't seem to have an issue, so I respectfully request you pull your head in  and go back to topic 

Hopefully we have a red hot go Hawthorn are only another 22 blokes, with Trac Brayshaw and Oliver cracking in for the first time together should be fun to watch

it's NEVER fun watching hawthorn play

I know most of us will be going along on Saturday hoping it is not a bloodbath, with a little bit of a hope for a miracle win, I actually enjoy watching Hawthorn play myself, they play on the edge and never give up, something we all want MFC to be.

And hopefully the guys will have a real crack and get an idea how far they have to lift to get even close to Hawthorn

I had a chat to a few of the guys who are 'stuck' at Casey, the morale is high, quote from one "we are having fun down there, want to have a real crack at winning the flag"

Any other news?

Bits and pieces

JKH thinks they have finally solved his hamstring issues

Terlich has shaved his head, it looks shocking but has grown beard, Garlett persisted in calling him Chunk during the drills

Hogan barely got out of a trot at training, but was walking freely, didn't seem too down when I spoke to him

Salem is back at his playing weight after losing 5kg

Lots of work on the field kicking at training

Any other questions will try and answer

They're like a big turd that won't flush.

The only solution is poking it with a wire coat hanger that's been slightly warped. Perhaps the players should arm themselves with coat hangers.

That troublesome turd can be flushed with a big bucket of boiling water too. A method I've found  successful on more than one occasion. Would work well with the Essendon football club.

did it seem like Hogan would be more likely or less likely to play this weekend?

Who knows, he didn't seem restricted kicking, he only jogged though, walking without any limp or discomfort,  we may put him through a more severe session tomorrow away from prying eyes

I have noticed that they seem a pretty happy bunch. I reckon it has a lot to do with Plapp who seems a quality coach and individual.  In the rooms after the Coburg game they even seem to have learned the club song, but they still hold up the words. I was just wondering if Viv was getting disillusioned. Has been in the best for 9 out of his 10 games but getting no love from the FD. Guess he will be looking elsewhere at the EOS. Pity because I think he is as good as any in his group but seem that because he is not a Roos draftee he does not get a look in despite the stated policy of selecting those whose performance warrants it will get a game.

Viv has to be one of the quietest blokes in the group, you never notice him at training, just goes about doing the drills in a professional way, he never looks down, think he just enjoys, and feels privileged at, being on an AFL list and gives it everything he's got at whatever level he is playing

Can't wait to see Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca and Weideman playing in the one team, hopefully with Hogan. Not to mention Watts, Stretch, Hunt, etc. it may even be an exciting game watching the 2017 team debut.

I'm not sure that's correct. I thought Michie was one of Roos' recruits in his first year. Can anyone confirm?

In: Bugg, Weideman, Oliver

Out: Chris Dawes, Josh Wagner, Matt Jones

Emg: Colin Garland, Cameron Pedersen, Matt Jones. 

So Pedo would come in if Hogan doesn't get up.

All looks pretty good to me!

Pedo, M. Jones and Garland named as emergencies. If Hogan does not get up it looks as if Pedo will be there to babysit weed.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
