I don't get the hysteria. May is out. We want a KPD to replace him, hence OMac. Lockahrt is out. We want a runner to replace him, hence Baker. Preuss is out. We want a KPF to replace hi

May has been fantastic since returning, and quite frankly one of the few reasons I've continued to watch games, and not resort to full blown alcoholism.

This year just keeps on giving.

Also, why is the official statement that OMac took time off mid season to get his body right? I thought he'd just been playing terribly (I know there are some who disagree), and was dropped. 

If I underperform at work, and am relegated to the mail room, I don't get to say I'm building the skills necessary for my substantive job?!

I'm so confused.

He was playing terribly, right? His form at Casey has not been much better! Why is he back?

Little to do with Burgess or Misson if players are put back on or not, it's the MEDICAL team who make those calls.

Further, you would need to be able to show that May going back on is the reason he's missing 1-2 weeks (with a hamstring we presume), as opposed to he would have missed that in any case.

Not sure why the surprise re O'Mac. He had his break/rebuild after a non-existent pre-season (hip operations), and his form at Casey has been OK to very good.

But apart from all that, with Hore and May out, and Petty now as our emergency forward because both Tom Mac and Weideman are out (and Preuss isn't up to it as a forward), who else was there?

Though I'd take an in-form Oscar over Petty as a back any day of the week, and Frost as well - Frost's attack and general mayhem is worth having, but as a one-on-one pure defender he's too easily beaten by smarter/experienced forwards. Oscar's also a more reliable kick coming out of the back line, something we desperately need in any case.

Oh joy Omac is back. 

Preuss still should be in the side to develop the chemistry with Max. I know Preuss form wasn’t great last week but most of team has been pathetic for the season so it makes no difference  

Our season is dead so I don’t  see the point in not playing them together this season so that next season they can hit the ground running.

This season has been abysmal and an absolute waste of a season. 

I cant wait for it to end. That’s how much fun our team is to follow.

With OMac back

at least I can smile at the expected

(rightly or wrongly) outrage from posters on land. 

I have no idea if it’s the correct choice or the wrong  but ........hell we might even win

Will be interesting to see the Casey side this week with the emergencies available to play on Sunday. I see the selection this week a a balance between being competitive against the Saint and trying to keep Casey in the race for a finals berth.

Rubbish.

Oscar was getting outbodied and outmarked by 185cm no names forwards against the doggies in his last VFL game to the point where they had to shift him forward.

He is depth now and the sooner May is back the quicker Omac is back at Casey.

Petty has already shown be has more tricks then Oscar. Time to put all of our development into Petty once our forward line is up and running.

    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
