I wonder if this was pre-incident? @kev martin @DeeSpencer

 

Yes, pre-incident. It happened about 15 to 20 minutes before the end of the full session. I think he will be ok as he wasn't making much of it. He also waited around for his mates to finish up.

PS. They all went off to eat lunch together at a buffet.

Only on Demonland can you get such detailed reports.

I thought it was listed as groin.

You could be  are right. From MFC Website Harry Petty (groin) pulled up sore from last week’s game

I haven't noticed anything (injury wise) for this year but I thought he missed the last two games with a knee injury. Others may be able to clarify.

Baker has a groin injury and hopes to resume straight after X-mas.

Spargo injured his ankle ligament last Friday - unless he did them badly, should be back next week.

I think Petty had a minor knee clean-up post-season.

Not sure why Smith wasn't there, but he looked really strong last Friday. He has bulked up more and was working with backs - if fit will play on Jack Darling in Rd 1 IMO.

Most impressive today was Ed Langdon - ran hard, kicked well and looked eager.

I beg to differ. If it was a detailed report we'd not only know where they went for lunch but what each person had. And who paid.

Normally most go to Edwins and have a pasta salad or similar, today most were in, grabbed a coffee only and out again

Today's technical whinge:

Steve May skills more marks than he should because he doesn't get his hands close enough together and he also doesn't allow enough cushion by way of bending his elbows. Locking your elbows makes your arms stiff and heavy, keeping them bent allows for more movement and you can pluck the ball from the air.

Weid's and Tommy Mc have far better technique.

I'm not quibbling with your technical description (I wouldn't know), but are you confident from a still image that you can draw that particular conclusion?

Moonlighting, working behind the counter, to get that inside info, huh, Saty?  Well done!

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
