Our game plan works if everyone is on. Unfortunately with the pre season we have had and injuries endured that was never going to happen.

I dare say we will see it in a game/s before the end of the year and we will literally [censored] someone.

 

Spot on.

Just watched him play against collingwood.

21 disposals 3 goals 5 tackles and 6 clearances. 

Hugely impressed by his game today and if he keeps playing like that he will play senior footy very soon.

By all account s he played a cracker for Casey today.

Hope he can, at an appropriate time, take the next step.

Well done.

No, he's 93, his birth certificate was FORGED.

So is he actually Andrew Dunkley's father (or perhaps grandfather) and not his son?

Wordsworth's poem has always confused me but this may be the explanation?

My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold - William Wordsworth (1802)

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Ah, Mono you have restored my faith in Demonland, poetry and class. Thank you.

dieter, I had anticipated that Hemmingway would have beaten me to the punch.

The commentators were saying he was the steal of the draft.  Others were recycled, trimmed from other lists.  Kyle is a fresh up and comer.

No offence to the Dunkley, but the old man sounds like a over possessive Fl og

Fancy giving your kids a serve and then demand them to go do a beep test because you didn't perform on game day. 

What a [censored]

Didn't he have a sook about Roosy forcing him into retirement because he was already 34 and was in and out of the 2s?

I have to say I had similar thoughts.

How neat is that?!  The coach doesn't tell Kyle directly, but does it via his brother!!  That's nice!  (Just a pity we're not playing the Doggies this weekend!)  Will he maybe come in as Smith's replacement?

Gotta be happy with this.

In a season that has been an absolute tragedy for MFC, this is a genuine highlight.

I really like how the club got his brother to tell him he is playing his first senior match. Even better for that fact his brother plays for another club. Family is everything, and this warms the heart.

For once, well done MFC, well bloody done.

No pressure Kyle, but i expect a rising star nomination this round.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
