It appears they've set BBB for a 8 match season. Looked cooked, has knee drained and seems to be moving better. I reckon he'll play this week. Whether it works for us is yet to be seen. From what I've seen of him before the Geelong game he looked done. In the Geelong game he seemed to be moving much better. If he comes in, moves well, takes 6-8 marks and kicks 3 then just maybe he's not cooked just yet. It's pretty clear our whole season is set up only for finals. Nothing else matters. I remain incredibly positive about our chances.

Well, given there are 9 games to go, plus 3 or 4 finals, it's hopefully more than an 8 game season.

    I would have preferred he played the last 5, plus finals, but I'll trust the FD and fitness team.

    Maybe they want to see how he goes the next fortnight and then we know what we're dealing with heading into the last 5.

    I think Browns a long shot but I was wrong once before about 26 years ago

    Territory day, is interesting.  I see the local shops are selling fireworks only on the Saturday for the festivities.

    These dreams go on when I close my eyes
    Every second of the night I live another life
    These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
    Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away.

    HEART

    Oh my God, what a Dream I had last night, several Demonlanders were featured! And before some of you start thinking strange… It wasn’t one of those dreams at all. But it remains vivid and live and the scene was set at my training report at Casey. I arrived and then…………. Came the familiar song

    Daht dar dar daaar Dat dar dar Dat the Dat Dar Dut da dar dar Dar …..

    Watch the First Trailer for 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' - The Week In Nerd

    And before I knew it there he Was INDIANA JONES Right before my eyes WOW

     

     

    Quite a whimsical adventure PF.

    Much appreciate you heading out to the dead marshes of Casey to bring this report to the DL faithful.

    However i believe you might’ve left out the most important part.

    The part that started off the whole saga.

    You apparently took the hand of some stranger as you slipped in the bog getting out of your car.

    A stranger somewhat off his nut who whisked you all the way to the last frontier... the wild lands of W.A.

    Where you then spent a little too much time on the choof courtesy of some of McQueen's finest chop!

    Goodwin said he can train but can’t do any contact work due to risk of further damage. So essentially he won’t lose fitness but he gets a month off to freshen up before finals. Not the worst.

    BBB is less of a list clogger than Franklin coz they usually don't pick BBB  and no one says anything

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
