So I have gone through and read all training reports over the summer and by the sounds of it we have found a player? I really hope we get to see him during the JLT games.

I was one of the first to "Talk the Talk" regarding Oliver Clayton who now "Walks the Walk"..

Now for my next trick....Corey Maynard. 

He is an absolute brute of a specimen and im predicting a better clone of Luke Parker/Nat Fyfe (and i hate comparing players as they are their own person) . Underage gun who once kicked 15 goals in a junior game u15's before concentratingon a promising basketball career.

The development soil is finally fertile. Rookies will have a much better chance of making a go of it.

Another tick for the recruiters at this early stage.

Theres also a problem where they seem to have removed "fi" out of random words. 
From Trenners new Bio:
"  The season improved from there and he started to put pressure on the selectors to pick him.  They nally did, with Trengove running out against Hawthorn in round 11 for his rst game since round two, 2014. Trengove, who has twice had surgery to x a fracture in his foot, played two more games before returning to the VFL.  "

Edit: I also noticed that Tyson and Viney were both apparently "mid elders" which i thought was an odd description untill i realised what had happened

I AM! Personally, I want us to pick our best available team next Saturday and give the Doggies an absolute hiding! After that Goody can experiment to his heart's content!

PS: I am sure that our membership will soar if both our teams beat the Doggies!

I'm glad everyone is on board because i think Maynard could be the saviour.

In all seriousness we are building a side with a diversity of strenths. Maynard has size and clean hands.

I must say I agree with you - can't remember him being mentioned at all.

Would be great though if he turns out to be a hidden gem

From what I saw in the intraclub he's a fair way off it. At this stage he's an athlete with a good physique who can look quite good in training drills that highlight his movement and vision in close. 

If he can have a season in the VFL like Joel Smith did that will be a start. Smith's the one from our basketballers who I want to see in the preseason comp.

This.

Good size and has a good look about him (something reminds me of Pendlebury but it isnt football skill), but hes at least a year off I think. Needs consistent games at Casey and should be aiming to be one of their best in a push for the flag they missed last year.

Odd kicking style I thought.

I think you're getting confused with Lipovich, our rst pick in last year's Rookie Draft.

The little I saw of him when I attended the first couple of training sessions this year, he reminds me physically of Petracca. Can't wait to see what he can do on the field.

I understand the excitement of watching new recruits at this time of the year it infects us all to some extent especially after the crap Dees supporters have been through over the last decade.

However it is that dancing with your sister time of the year.

Lets see how Maynard and others look when the real stuff starts.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
