Nash you left out dwarf tossing. Perhaps that should be throwing, either way inappropriate. 

Dwarf tossing?  I thought that it was dwarf burning, or is that a St.Kilda exclusive?

Looked fit and well.

Loved the little banter between him and Salem right in front of me though!

Salem sprayed a kick on his right foot with Jetta right on his backside and Jetta yelled "ahh thats the pressure right there"

Salem: "[censored] off mate!" ?

He also pulled Dion Johnstone aside to do some one on one body positioning and contest work too.

Ready to go.

Nev is just an amazing person and club man.  Well done to keep this up even during his finals.

Hope it is enough to get Dion one more year on his contract.

Who knows what New can inspire him to achieve.  After all, he himself was delisted and rookied under Roos.

Not disputing that we’d miss him and that Smith is a downgrade - that’s why Hibberd is a lock 22 and Smith is on the fringe. Just that I doubt it would be the difference between losing and winning as the loss of other players who are completely irreplaceable would be. The gap between Oliver and our next available midfielder is nowhere near as large as the gap between Hibberd and Smith, for example. 

If for your life, you had to choose one from the following players to get injured, which would you choose?

a) Jetta (best small)

b) Hibberd (best flanker)

c) Oliver (best mid)

d) Gawn (best ruck)

e) TMac (best tall)

?

f) Jack Watts ??

My wife just told me Hibbo did a very intense training session indoors after leaving the track early. Anyone else hear this?

Your wife an insider DZ ?? Sounds like she's getting some good intel.

Unfortunately not pd. She was told by a friend and as far as I am aware she’s not an insider either.

What Saty said..

I was suprised how up and about he was,  you'd think a bloke in his position who probably knows his time is up would bit down in the dumps.. but credit to him, he's playing a fantastic leadership role down at Casey.

I'm trying to work out whether your top is a copy of Harmes' sleeve or whether he's tried to copy your top onto his arm.

What this photo does show yet again is how big these blokes are (to borrow a Michael Palin quote, "even the small ones are big!")  My brother (a fraction under 6') bumped into Jake Melksham and was taken aback by how tall he was.

Methuselah lives, but at age 969 there would appear to be an age difference.

Pedo was the first person cheering the team as they walked off the G down the race on Friday ,  and I've seen his genuine excitement for the team on multiple occasions this year when he wasn't part of the 22.

It's great to see.

Great credit to Pedo who has played his role whenever asked - not the best player on the list by any means, but still a vital cog in the overall scheme of things.  If he wants to go on, he would be worth another year on the Casey list, at least. (As an aside, was Jeffy there on Friday night?)

Amazing what a tight knit group we have now.

There don't seem to be any 'outsiders' nor any who don't buy in to the ultimate goal.

After many dark decades a bright light beckons.

GO DEMONS!!!

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
