most players in attendance , was a great few hours , all players happy to have a chat and talk to everyone 

Gus sat with us and pulled up fine from his run at Casey , we spoke about breaking back into the team this year , very fine young man 

sam weideman  also sat for a chat and loves playing at the Dees and is trying hard to convert his grandparents over to the Dees

Jordan Lewis , was more than happy to talk too

my 6 year went up to nearly every player on his own and got them all to sign his jumper as did his sisters

Great pic 'markc'!

Out of interest which player does your family sponsor?  It must be a real thrill for your kids to have a player they have a special connection with.

Did Lewis hold on to his snag or drop it on the floor?

He dropped it and then dived on it when Jarman Impey tried to nab it.

Great post mark, glad you and your family enjoyed it.

Wouldn't worry about that. When Todd was coaching Echuca he turned up on crutches and was so furious at how the team was going at half time he threw them away and played the second half.

I was also at the Player Sponsor BBQ and asked Viney about crutches.  He said it was all OK, part of then plan and was only about keeping the weight off.  Later on, I saw him walking around with both crutches in his hand.

Btw MarkC, I saw your little man get Oliver's signature on his own.  My 8 year old boy was far more shy.

The players were magnificent.

It must be a drag having to roll up on Sunday lunchtime and chat to fawning fans, but they were so polite and friendly.

My 15 yr old daughter got photos with about 6 players who were all so kind to her. She even got a photo with her future husband.( J H!)

Jack Watts  and Trenners are such charmers! So patient!

Does your daughter have a genetic predisposition for lowering her eyes?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
