Thanks guys other than the little one we’ve been ok, he’s picked up today in time for the game in true demon spirit! Little ones recover so much faster than adults.

In a backwards way, Covid has been a blessing for the selection panel early in the year as we tick off the wins, and maybe for the long-term shape of our team. Hoping Weid backs up and can return to his mid-2020 form, along with Tomlinson getting closer to his best alongside Lever and May. Then Petty is our only real selection conundrum until Salem is ready to come back. 

Post-note: I hadn't realised it, but the game last week was statistically Weideman's best ever as a forward - his biggest goal haul, equal-most number of marks, and easily the most scoring shots on goal. Posters lament J. Smith's ill-fortune, but Sam could probably be placed in that category too. Just as he was finding consistency, we took that trip to Cairns, and then he copped a pre-season leg injury.

I watched Kossie pretty closely last week. He had little to know impact. Seemed lethargic. It's been a pretty slow start to this season and end of last season. I appreciate that he does a lot of pressure work off the ball but he's a fair way off his best. Wonder if they will consider dropping him if this continues. Give Bedford a go.

Hopefully Brown isn’t playing because they thought it was risky to fly him out tomorrow after a week at home, and not because he now has Covid. 
And hopefully Smith is just a close contact and not actually suffering from Covid.

On 360 they mentioned a trend of players getting injured after the H&S protocols, through not enough training/preparation. Good to be careful just hope BBB doesn't lose form.

We won't know unless it happens.

Completely depends upon exactly what is being asked of him, and if he is doing that (which I suspect he is).

IMHO Petty (when fit) is clearly in the best 22. He's ahead of Tomlinson. 

Poor Tommo ... recruited as a winger, but that experiment didn't work. Good as a defender, but got injured and Petty overtook him. I suspect he will continue to get selected because of injuries to others. I wish him all the best ... great guy, great clubman and a solid player.

Very true. Our 3yo has COVID after it spread through our family. He’s been hardest hit assumably because he hasn’t been vaccinated as yet. Nothing on earth could stop me cuddling him while he vomits everywhere, has a temp of a million degrees and is in distress. Pretty hard to not get whatever they have in that situation.

Said child is now farting on his sisters, so everything is back to normal in our household 😂

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
