No injuries, some of the cobwebs blown out and not getting thrashed is all I am after today.

If he is to convince everyone he has turned the corner, you would like Tom McDonald to kick 4.

Would like Jordon or Sparrow to get plenty of footy and raise a few eyebrows over the starting midfield mix in round one

I'm with Clint. For the first time in many seasons, I'm less fussed about the result and keen to see our depth show what they've got. And no injuries....

Unless I'm dyslexic, I can't see Daw's name listed anywhere there.  Not a good sign for his hopes of making the list you'd think, or is he injured?

No he's not playing because they're are getting him back up to AFL fitness. You need to understand that since October last year when he finished at North Melbourne he's had no AFL to go off and instead has been training suburban level footy. It'll take him a few weeks at least.

He's only there for insurance, not to play straight away.

    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
