Is this the first time McCartin and Petracca have played against each other? From the same draft year Lever and OMc should find themselves on Paddy during the match

PS. Just found this 2014 HS article saying St Kilda would take Petracca. Thank god they didn’t

I don’t get much juicy afl gossip, but I can say for an absolute fact that GWS we’re not trading picks 4 and 7 so they could get Petracca with pick 1.  They were after someone else.

He's making it up both Trac and Hogan trained this morning, I have the pics to prove it? Trac took a couple of strong grabs and Hogan moved really well

Trac was fine at training this morning, train on Saturday to see if he can handball, mark etc, assume he will wear a guard Hogan can train tomorrow and then Saturday, the fact he completed the ga

If anyone is looking for a definition of "a very Melbourne thing to do" I think we have a contender.

And we are playing a poor team. The Weid is playing in a forward line where he is clearly the third best tall so should get the third best defender. If cannot play a reasonable game this weekend then he never will IMO. It is put up or shut up time.

A bit strange OD. You'd write him off if he doesn't have a blinder this weekend?

He has shown a bit this year. A few of his contested marks have been fantastic. Not sure if he is ever going to be the 6 goal a game fwd though.....way too early to be writing him off.

So you would call time on a 20 year old key forward based on this game ?

You and those who have liked your post have no clue.

Acidic yet adolescent comment.

Not reading the whole topic?

They trained fully yesterday without an issue

Trac marked and handballed

Hoges moved freely with no strapping anywhere 

Nothing gets past you...

Thanks for the update.

No, listening on the radio occupied me last night, hoping that the Brizzies could knock off the Filth in Brisbane - all about ladder position after the round, this morning. Then another famous SA power failure overnight - that we pay good money for - just for the inconvenience of it all. Now to take the dog to the veterinary clinic - I swear this guy is attempting to make his fortune in just 3 years! However, 'Deemented Are Go', it was a good win but it could have been catastrophic for the Saints with a jiggle of those who played and those who battled (and battled quite well, too). Next week holds some interest ... must study the form of the fit.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
