I read on the official MFC web site that training was scheduled for Monday 18/12, Victoria Park 10.00am.

Did any one get along?

They usually go there for interclub practice matches, I would have thought that it was a bit early in the pre-season for that.

    There's a report and photos on Demonology.

    The gist of the report from MK08 was:-

    * a few players on rehab and a few absent

    * Clint Bizzell is flying, looks fit and a stood out as a player who wants his spot back

    * Lynden Dunn moves well, has good hands and was very impressive.

    * Beamer did the whole session at top pace - great news!!!

    * As has been mentioned in other reports, Simon Buckley has put on lots of muscle and now has the body of an AFL footballer.

    * Juice Newtown was the FF for the whole session - perhaps the next Neitz

    * Godders and Miller still can't kick!

    * Leading in skills are Yze and Johnstone with Davey, Green close behind.

    * Doggy has the best voice out on the track and is worth his spot on the list for team morale itself.

    Great to hear Beamer got through a full training session at full pace!

    If he is fit for next season, we're one step closer to a flag IMO. Add him into that great midfield balance from last season, with continued development from McLean, Jones, Bate, Sylvia, Bell, Batram etc and we truly will have a formidable midfield rotation :)

    10 years ago that was our idea of a formidable midfield.  How times, and our expectations, have changed.

    Also - take note of the person at training who labelled Juice Newton as the next Neitz.  At least our ability to go right over the top hasn't changed in a decade. :pj:

    And yes, I'm bored and went back a few years.  Sue me!

    CBF going back and having a look. Who was it, or do I need not ask?

    In a former guise I mean...

    He said 'pehaps the next Neitz'

    You went back a decade and thats all you got.

    Good one.

    I'd like to see how Juice Newton would have gone with some proper player development. Wish we had Macca a decade ago.

    I still have nightmares of that Sunday 5.40 pm game where Adelaide beat us about 7 goals to 4 at the G in front of 12k. We didn't kick a goal till the third quarter and Juice kicked about 4 out on the full from twenty out directly in front. 

    To me that will always be #peakjuice

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
