Apparently we held two players over for tomorrow -- Stretch and Josh Wagner.  Hope it doesn't mean either Lever or Hore as late outs!

Just saw there is a fair chance Oliver wont play tomorrow. Billy Stretch was pulled out of todays game 2 hour prior.

Shows what you know.

Srsly though, how is a 19 year-old who made his professional debut last year (and has thus far failed to set the game alight in any tangible sense) considered a leader? I’d love to see him grow as a player (at our club) but how does a word like that get bandied about in this instance?

Of course he is. Goes with the season. We have had a late out the last few games to go with our long list of injuries and always good players.

Meanwhile other sides we play have close to their best side in and then the week later lose key players. This week Lynch out for the Crows and Hurn and Yeo for the Eagles.

Oliver will play. If it’s just a tight back, he has the bye next week to recover.

Would be a different story if we had a 5 day break going into next week.

Clayton Oliver leaves track early... ??

Clarry is a machine I don't think he will miss. However I believe that Lever is the one that might be the out only because of playing a half of football for Casey and doing his ankle missing the week after and then being selected to play Queens Birthday.  Training or no training it doesn't sit well with me.

Half a game of football in 12 months after a knee reco?  IMO not enough game time No game fitness in a blockbuster a recipe for disaster. I hope not.  Genuinely hope I am wrong.

Cmon man...it’s called a light touch work session. Every AFL club does it.

Just down at Rye for the weekend and every second car in a very busy car park at woolies has demons member 2019 stickers on the back. Don’t think we we have many at the game come Monday ?

PS no snow here so not sure what we’re all going to do for the weekend? Drink?

The Mornington Peninsula was a key and designated recruitment zone for the Dees, for years. The Healy boys came from that league near the end on that allocation. Footy at Chelsea was hard, skilled and tough - dreaded playing down there across a 2-year period as the 'visitors'.

Why do some posters call Oliver Clarry Choo Choo? 

Perhaps there is some clever or witty reasoning behind it?

Only one poster calls him that and there is zero wit or reasoning  behind it.

Spargo is fine. Has earned his place, certainly in relation to the other small forwards down there. Not to mention, not sure who he's keeping out ... Bedford?

Team looks solid, just missing Melksham and Jetta for mine, Vandenberg would be handy as well.

Spargo needs to get more possessions, but typically uses the ball very well when he gets it. Is probably low on confidence, like a lot of the team this season!

Team looks a lot better this week, agree adding in Jetta & Melksham would be ideal.

Should put in a solid effort against the Pies, pity we blew last weeks match.

It’s only picket fence, and it’s because he (picket fence) is a madman.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
