Had a chat with Justin Plapp after the main training. He seems extremely happy and excited for Sunday!

His interview on the MFC website sounds very positive (as does Weideman's interview)! They are all excited about Sunday.

Man I can't tell you how excited I am for this game. My brother in 10 years of football has never played in a Grand Final, and nothing on this level. He is absolutely beaming with anticipation (which

Been impressed with Jack Hutchins in what I've seen of him on tv and during the interviews. Seems to have a level head, good leadership and an AFL hardened body to throw around. Good pick up by the Scorps.

This may be a dumb question, but what colours are people wearing on Sunday? It's easy for the footscray kids, but should we throw on the Dees gear in support?

sounds a good idea.....would be better than whoreforn gear.

There are often many supporters in Dees gear at Scorps matches - prob more than those in Scorps gear. It's essentially the same colours (speaking from a male standpoint) and the connection between clubs is well known, so go for it. Hat, scarf, jumper ect.

Think it's actually a good question. Dogs are red, white & light blue. Scorps are red, white & dark blue. So the colours are the same, apart from the shades of the blue, and possibly the shades of the red too.

Makes sense to turn up in Dees gear and miss out the white.

Good luck to the Scorps on Sunday, I'm really looking forward to this. They've been the best side all year and deserve to win, but strange things happen at Shitihad Stadium.

No Don't, I took my Mrs to Bunnings for a sausage on valentines day and she didn't appreciate it.

And she still has the nerve to tell me I don't care about her.

Some women are never pleased.

Surprised she has to travel all the way, to Bunnings no less, to earn a sau-sage. silly sausage, doc

I hadn't heard of them as a clothing company and assumed the Tobacco advertising laws still applied.

 

That sponsorship seems to be working well.

Going tomorrow because its a grand final and its the closest thing to see Melbourne play in one. also looking forward to seeing Casey play and also probably be the last chance to see some of our MFC players play for the red and blue.

 Stupid question but why isnt dawes playing? Did he not qualify.

Yes. Dawes did not qualify.

JKH qualified (he did not player any AFL games in 2016 so the handful of games played for Casey and its DL team was sufficient) but he must have been put into cotton wool because of his injury history this year.

Dogs winning into the GF will have the dogs fans on a big high and wouldn't surprise me if they get a few more through the gate because of it. 

C'mon Scorps, bring them back down to earth!

Pretty sure he did another bit of a hammy towards the end of the year 'Jack'...

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
