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

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
