or lack thereof.

Is he crazy not to wear a mouthguard? I think Reiwoldt also went without mouth protection. Most players seem to wear them. What gives?

My guess, he doesn't like his teeth and is waiting to have them knocked out so the club can buy him a nice new set of implants.

Could have an allergic reaction if there is such a thing.

Insanity, apparently Elliot Yeo took his mouthguard out to have a 'breather' (according to him) and within a minute of not having it in, lost two front teeth.

a lot of afl plsyers dont wear mouth guards actually. I think it's crazy but apparently a lot of players struggle to breath properly with them in.

Tried to wear one once and couldn’t hardly breathe or swallow. 

Didnt help that I was super dusty and dry-as after a big night before on the froths. 

Btw, Andrew Brayshaw probably thinks they’re overrated as well.

He wore one in his debut game, not sure he's worn one since.

I'm not sure Gawn and Petracca wear them either.

You're right.

Clarry, as previously reported has or suffers from a little bit of asthma, must love the hot dry windy weather, ie Shepparton last week, having a mouthguard in probaly doesn't help the breathing

Teeth are overrated and easily replaced these days

I never played with one, but then again, I never played football. 

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, eh Ethan?!  You're not supposed to PLAY with them.  You stick 'em in your gob!

And what's the deal with almost all AFL players wearing their socks down (aside from Buddy, Walker, Daniher and a few ruckman).

The last Dees to wear socks up were Davey and Jamar off memory.

What happened to the days of "Socks up, jumpers tucked in!"

Terrible things to wear playing footy. Was always taking it out when not near the ball.  

However, if the choice is between discomfort or not having a full set of teeth, I would choose teeth every time. 

Handy things teeth particularly for chewing.

My female friends all preferred a mouth with teeth.

Taking out the dentures before bed is never a good look.

I suspect that some of BBO's house maids don't have teeth but that's another matter.

It might not be a matter of them wearing their socks down. It might be that the sock are only that particular size. That is they don't go all the way up to just below the knees anymore. They seem to go to only just above the ankle.

I always thought your elbows and your fists were supposed to stop one from getting hit in the mouth. Worked for me...

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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
