I’ve had some bad doses of man flu as well.

But if Clarry is training as reported (away from the group), it can’t be that bad.

That’s what I thought as well. Did I also hear that he actually showed up to training as well? I mean if you have the flu, you ain’t getting out of bed, let alone  rocking up to training.

It's a home game so should have GA access on your membership.

One can just tolerate the GA seating allocated to members, but if you get up for a coffee or snack, or even go outside of the ground for a cigar (and your chauffeur delivering the cheese platter from the the boot of the Roller in the car park), whatever seat you initially chose will be gone and those selected by no-one will be the only vacancies. It would be most acceptable if in future football seasons the MFC demanded first-level frontal seats for Members GA (instead of FA) entry. We could all get together, then, and swap French bries, camemberts and other acceptable nibbles for the upwardly mobile citizens without flaw.

You show excellent taste Deemania and obviously understand the laws governing the status of the riff raff.

You would be a fine citizen of Romsey.

McDonald dropped?

Must mean Petty is going forward again. 
I guess no Lynch for the Tigers and Lever back is allowing us to do that. 
 

My guess is also that Gawn will play most of the game at FF. Lowers the risk with the knee injury and gives us a proper focal point up forward.

Good to see Jordon in the 22.

An interesting group to choose a new sub from:  Laurie, Schache, Dunstan, D. Turner...

Thought the same thing Jaded. Petty, JVR and Max must be the tall forwards. I like it. Lots of marking strength in that group.

Good opportunity for JVR to take control of the forward line. 

Will be interesting to see how he goes about it. 

Good luck young fella.

Weird....Thursday TMac named in team and Schache can't make squad

Saturday... no TMac and Schache named as emergency

Perhaps TMac’s back is stuffed from copping a knee in it last week

God Tom Sparrow is a cat with nine lives..

Dropping Tmac was the right choice. It had to be done and I think unfortunately for him he just spends his days at Casey unless we're smacked with injuries.

Don’t quite understand that logic, we are playing tall forwards made up of 2nd year player in van rooyen, a resting ruck and a unproven key back swinging fwd. All over a dedicated key fwd who kicked 4 goals only 2 games ago. Sure Tmac isn’t the bees knees but that lineup is asking for trouble.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
