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

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
