Hey Kev, perhaps you should delete  old pics you’ve posted and that are no longer needed. You just go to your account, click on ‘my attachments’ and select the pics you don’t need, and delete. 

Thanks WCW, cleared the 6 attachments, and I now have 4.88 MB.

Wohoo

    I have more really good shots, but the site won't let me upload any more because it would exceed the "max total size of 302.47 kb". Is there any way to get around this?

    Demon Army did a fine job on the snags from the looks of it, very popular from what I saw!

    Hopefully, your selfless sacrifice will be rewarded with a victory tomorrow night.

    My ‘selfless sacrifice’ has already been rewarded, HT. For health and safety reasons we can’t use the unsold (and uncooked) food. Long story short… I’m on my way home right now with five loaves of bread and 72 sausages! Imagine how happy my son will be when he realises it’s sausages for dinner every night for the next month or so. 😁

    I hope so! Sausages don’t talk back to you. And sausages don’t have a messy bedroom. Nor do they stay up really late on school nights then bit*ch and moan the next morning having to get up early. Need I go on?!

    No but I can’t imagine it’d be any harder than living with a moody teenage boy.

    Apparently Viney was exposed to the same gastro bacteria as Goody and Hibbo

    Now the bacteria have a bad case of the Vineys that they can't shake

    The boys all moved well despite knee bandages on Gus, Kozzie and Trent.

    No knee bandages on BBB, Max or Salo, which is really good news.

    Here's a few pics from the session.

    Ahh...all is right with the world. We're still training (and playing) in September, crowds have turned up for our training session, and if I look closely at the fifth of these photos, I think I see Satyr wearing a jaunty, white beret to match his beard.

    Back to actual training talk.

    Viney was tutoring Sparrow at the end of training on the art of dodging your opponent at stoppage by starting behind your opponent and then grabbing them and shoving them behind you as you go forward. He was then tutoring him on grabbing the ball with your arms up so you can still handball it off in a tackle.

    Viney may be our next HC, Max Hawn for president

    I was there too .... easily identifiable because I was wearing a yellow (high viz) cycling jacket. (I incorporated the visit to Gosch's Paddock as part of my morning ride.)

    Caught up with the lovely WCW and snagged myself a snag. Good set up there although it was sans coffee when I got there (about 10.15 am).

    Nice atmosphere ... Training session seemed pretty relaxed/low key.

    Would be nice to meet some D/Landers there next week ...

    Good to see the seconds on the paddock, about 3/4 of the way during the first squads run.

    Given that they have the bye, my guess is that they will be around the team all today and tomorrow, offering support, learning about the lead up to finals, and being, generally involved.

    They're really great photos, thank you for sharing.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
