Laurie and Bowey look pretty ripped already eh.

Rosman with some weight will be a weapon.

How ripped is Trac looking, it's shocking. $ on him for Brownlow I think.

    Petracca looks the same as last season. Not sure what you're looking at. 

    How many times have you seen Rosman play just out of interest?

    Fraser Rosman has the potential to be an absolute beast. He has a similar physique to Paddy Cripps.

    Rosman looks like he would be a very hard match up on the wing with his height and pace and Bowey & Laurie  look very zippy and skillful

    Interesting the young(er) lads are bunking at other players houses inc Tmac and his wife and baby. It was billet families in times gone past. 
     

    How AFL players have grown from part time trainers and players getting on the booze every weekend to full time trainers on the booze most weekends to full time pro’s in the off season letting lose.

    The club has done this for the last few years. They have draftees stay with a team mate for the first week or so. I assume it's for things along the line of getting to know a team mate as a mentor, getting some tips on routine and a chance to ask all the questions they might be afraid to ask without that closer bond.

    Probably just cuts down a lot of anxiety about when/what to eat, when to wake up, what to pack, which way to drive and where to park etc etc. Given all 3 are from SE Melbourne they'll probably all go back to living with mum and dad next week.

    Agree. Rosman is a huge athlete. Pace. Endurance. Size. Can’t wait to see how he develops.
     

    Bowey and Laurie. I think JT went for the most skilful kids available at our picks. Perhaps they are the two most skilled in the draft. Good signs.

    His 1996 and 1997 seasons were write offs due to the back problems... a real shame as he was at the peak of his powers having kicked 77 and 79 goals in 94/95.

     His comeback in 1998 in Round 2 against North was one of my favorite Demon games ever.  He kicked 40 goals that season and helped us into the prelim final.

    I still believe that Gary Lyon is hugely underrated by the footy world. 

    Also missed the second half of the 89 season and bits and pieces through the early 90s.

    i refuse to believe fraser rosman isn't actually 27 years old 

    Kind of scary to think he's four or five years away from having a proper AFL physique according to conventional wisdom.  The kid will be a monster.

    We are so frustrating and can't be trusted.   It's not pleasant watching them, it's a chore.

    As a long time supporter I'm tired.

    Tired of not seeing them fulfil potential.

    Tired of seeing them drop games they should win.

    Tired of watching subpar skills.

    Tired of having [censored] Robbo as the game day hype man.

    Tired of seeing Trac, Clarry and Brayshaw not got back and take their time off the mark.

    Tired of seeing Melksham give away stupid 50s.

    Tired of not seeing the club hire a vodou houngan to calm the uneasy spirit of Norm Smith. 

    Tired of saying wtf happened to Tom McDonald

    Tired of seeing spuds like ANB on the list

    Tired of Greg Stafford being our goal kicking coach (pre-Choco)

     

    Think of this as my MFC Festivus  - I got a lot of problems with you people!

    Someone asked her for her negatives. 

    I thought there was some humour (festivus) in the reply.

    You could ask her for some positive aspects, maybe she will give out some more laughs.

    Stay with us @deegirl

    This is the year (2021), fingers crossed.

    I contacted the club today about going to Casey and what time training would be. This is there response.

    Thank yo for taking the time to contact us.

    The team won't be training tomorrow and at this stage their won't be any open training sessions. You can see training sessions when they take  place from outside the fence but you can't enter or approach players on their way in or out before or after training for photos or autographs due to the current guidelines.

     

    So sorry Demonlanders I won't be going Friday. Hopefully in the new year they will have open training sessions.

    Thank you for your service.

    Let us know how it goes and how much you can still see from behind the fence.

    I'd love to head down before the Christmas break but not if it's comparable to sitting in row MM of the Ponsford stand. Apologies in advance to @Supermercado

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
