I just took a call from T-Mac and asked him about the blood clot rumour. He said Oscar even rang him to ask if he was okay.

Apparently there was a young Casey fella in the B game that looked a bit like him who got taken to hospital with a blood clot after the game. Someone saw him at the hospital and confused him for T-Mac. 

Classic case of Chinese Whispers.

The young fella was Corey Ellison (#10) who was sporting a rude mullet. About the only similarities he and TMac have is height.

No wonder Tommy didn't get a contract with another AFL Club during Trade period.

was fighting leg artery issues oversized mullet and trying to diet all in about 2 months.  That's a lot of baggage !!!

Great  to see the real Tom Back and with some agility and marking prowess last Friday. Looking for gradual improvement whete he impacts the scoreboard and is a focal point in attack.

Kozzy is very talented but like all young players is no guarantee. He was very skittish last year particularly in front of goal but that’s not unusual for a first year player. With proper coaching and maturity no reason to think he won’t become more composed and start kicking those goals.

Not sure why the club is talking about him potentially playing round 1. Even if he has been training while away I can’t see how he is up to speed. Why take the chance? I’d prefer he is fully fit as playing half cooked risks damaging his confidence unnecessarily. Chandler looked decent in the praccy so why not let him play early. I think he has earned the right. We don’t need to be rushing kozzy back.

Chandler was so effective in the praccy match against Richmond - when he had the opportunity to go for it, hard - that it could be said his contributions added together turned our game up a notch; the Tigers, being the Tigers, were held across the game, beaten when it mattered and dumfounded by Chandler's capacities in a practice match. Chandler in for round one, for mine.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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
