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 don't agree dc.

I have enjoyed watching them for most of the last decade.

A great side that just keeps on winning.

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.

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.

    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

    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.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
