Sheesh, people parked their MFCSS in the training thread when mentioned Oliver didn’t train today. I thought everyone would’ve had kittens.😁

The HS are reporting that Oliver has the flu, did not train today and is not a certainty for Monday’s game 😬

If he's not %100, he's one bloke who must be rested.

He cops a hammering every game, so you'd think a week off would be beneficial.

He would be a huge loss, but FMD, if we can't beat the undermanned tiggers without him we're kidding ourselves about being serious contenders.

I noticed you’d mentioned that, DZ. I was surprised no one reacted. I was expecting mass coronaries to take place.

Not gonna lie, it felt all sorts of wrong weaving yellow and black. Especially since I was doing it on my own, and at one point I looked up and there was about a dozen Toiges standing behind watching me, silently. It was one of those what’s wrong with this picture moments.

Yes as @layzie says the $23 is for your reserved seat. In theory it's going to be in a better location than a GA seat if you just turn up. "Better" depends on where you prefer to sit though.

I prefer to be behind the goals over the wing but that's not necessarily thought of as "better" by the ticket allocators.

Level 2, behind the goals, Punt rd end.

Can’t go wrong.

Melbourne will give star midfielder Clayton Oliver every chance to prove his fitness ahead of Monday night’s Anzac Eve clash with Richmond after he missed the club’s main training session on Friday, due to flu-like symptoms.

The Demons kept Oliver away from the main group as a precaution as he trained on his own on Friday afternoon.

The players have a day off on Saturday, but Melbourne hopes Oliver will be back with the main group for its captain’s run session on Sunday.

The Demons look set to regain Max Gawn, Jake Lever and Michael Hibberd for the big Anzac Eve clash, while coach Simon Goodwin said Angus Brayshaw could have some more midfield minutes against the Tigers.

Oliver will not miss because of a sniffle. It’s Oliver. He’s played with a broken hand before. 
Only if he has Covid will he miss.

Saying he trained away from the group but had symptoms… just what we need is a freaking virus to decimate our side before our bounce back game.. MFCSS running wild.

I don't know why we didn't look for another tall forward given Tmac's foot injury and Weid and Jackson leaving.

Not sure about the voracity of need.

Currently it might be nice to have a walk up starter....and maybe we do.

Ostensibly Tmac was o.k.  ( granted and possibly like yourself  he's a risk in this regard ) The plan  had been Grundy and Gawn to rest fwd..   Hasn't gone to plan .

Brown... meh...   

The Roo....  definitely a positive 

Point is we have quite some depth. 

Schache has his abities and in a fashion is the very filip you address. He doesn't seem to excite too many here....but he has played finals and equitted himself more than fairly.

These players are either good to go when required...or they wouldn't be there surely.

We've had a cup and a half of bad luck/bad timing. It's testing us.

Personally i think the cattle IS there.....it's whether there's good enough selection to back them. 

P.s....there's Petty... but cant rob the backs when they're light on

Yeah he'd have to be pretty sick to miss surely. A few days to recover he'll be right!

We all remember what Trac dished up last year coming off a flu - if he’s not 95% or better than he shouldn’t play.

Isn't "flu like symptoms" the way they are describing it these days, presumably to prevent triggering the facebook certified medical experts?

Not to raise the alarm but I’ve just come out the other side of the flu, 1 week properly bed ridden and then 2 weeks well below par to follow.

I’m not old (37) nor am I an elite athlete but I’m fitter than most. This is the sickest I’ve ever been 

Hope Clarry is ok

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
