One conspicuous absentee from yesterday's training at Trinity Grammar was Byron Pickett who was applying to the Melbourne Magistrates' Court for the restoration of his driver's licence. The Byronator is a new man with a growing family to look after - and of course, a prmiership to win with the Dees. ( read here).

News from yesterday's training is that most of the old heads are looking fit, trim and enthusiastic, Brent Moloney, Paul Johnson and Ricky Petterd are in full training after recovering from injury while Colin Sylvia, Matty Whelan and Daniel Ward are in the rehab group. Col is apparently still being nursed through the early parts of the the year's training as a precaution against a flare up of the OP that has dogged him from time to time.

    Well if it's just a precaution, that's fine, but the fact that he is still struggling with it after so many years, is a real worry.

    If he isn't back into full training very soon, I guess we could wave goodbye to Sylvia being in the 22 come Round 1.

    If I remember correctly the club did something similar with him this time last year and he was full of running by the NAB Cup and the early season games.

    From my limited knowledge on OP the rehab is a 3 or 4 year ongoing process, designed to ease the sufferer back to full work over that time. I have no knowledge though whether it's flared up again or not.

    I just hope Byronator keeps away from the OP - as in Over Proof........ That way he'll keep his drive.

    Brent Moloney, ..... in full training after recovering from injury

    Am I reading this correctly.

    Brent Moloney and full training applied in the same sentence.

    What's the story??

    I sometimes wonder what's newsworthy about Byron Pickett fronting Court to apply for the restoration of his licence. After all, it's not as if he's done anything in recent history that's improper as far as his driving is concerned. It's a routine administrative application that would have happened a long time ago but for the fact that he lived in another state for a few years.

    For that matter, I don't think the story about the Grant Thomas/Rod Buttres debt story is news either. It's a private matter between the two of them and nobody's done anything criminal. They should leave it alone.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
