As Iā€™ve tried to explain to CrankyPants (above) I couldnā€™t fully understand some of what the boys were saying. One can only say ā€œPardon, what was that?ā€ so many times before it gets annoying.

Ā I actually googled Hermanā€™s Bay while with them and something about the NT popped up. I assumed I had the right name.

SO SHOOT ME FFS šŸ™„Ā 

fair enough, wcw

    Firstly, I couldnā€™t understand some of what the boys were saying and vice versa. I heard Hermanā€™s Bay.

    Secondly, Iā€™ve not had the pleasure of going to Alice since I canā€™t afford to so should be forgiven for not knowing every single NT town, especially one with a population of only 500.

    Thirdly, it has nothing to do with spelling. Also, donā€™t ever question my spelling. End of story.

    And finally, you read about a group of young indigenous kids visiting from the NT, meeting our players, going to our match tomorrow night, and my misunderstanding of their townā€™s name is all you got from it???

    Youā€™re beyond cranky.Ā 

    They are the Ntaria footy club

    Hermannsburg may be the colonies name.

    Difference between Narm and Melbourne.Ā 

    I know what place I would call where the people are from. As is written on the uniforms they are wearing, Ntaria.

    Hermannsburg is also renowned as being the birthplace of Albert Namatjira.

    Prefer to call the place by it's indigenous name, Ntaria.

    You are right, Namatjira clan area.

    The Todd River in Alice Springs generally doesn't have water. The suburb in Melbourne called Bayswater is nowhere near the coast. The army has its base on the coastline in Darwin while the navy in the same city is situated inland. And red heads are called Bluey. That's what I like about Australia - all sorts of things can be the opposite of obvious.Ā Ā

    The nameĀ BayswaterĀ isĀ a derivation of Bayards Watering Place, which was first recorded in 1380. The area was largely rural and isolated until the 1830s, when road development and residential building were initiated aroundĀ Hyde Park. Areas farther to the north and west were developed soon afterward.

    I'm just leaning on a lamp post, there's a kind of hush and something tells me I'm into something good.

    No-one in rehab this morning, a Captain's run, 26 players.

    Laurie, Tomlinson, Tholstrup, Chandler, Woey, and Kossie are out there.

    Rehabbers are out now. Marty, McAdam, Melky, Bowey, Sestan.

    As a guess for in and outs, I would say, out Laurie, Tomlinson, and Woey as they were mainly in the yellow vest in the structural sims.

    Tholstrup was doing plenty off the half-forward.Ā 

    Chandler was running hard, giving the knee a test, no problems.Ā 

    There are group, maybe 20, from the area around Alice Springs (Ntaria). One of them will toss the coin at the game. The indigenous players all made some time for them. All in the MFC colours of their own club. The MFC also handed them some scarves.

    Ollie Sestan was not named on the injury list.Ā 

    Mystery injury of the week?

    Yes a bit like Moniz prior to Choco's update info.

    Wasn't exactly that mobile today so something's afoot it seems.

    He was doing full work with the MFC Casey Squad (no tackling) after the run with the rehabbers, he had some strapping on his left shoulder.

    Around the paddock today were signs indicating that the area had recently been sprayed with 'chemicals'. When, what, where and to what extent was not stated. Just, warning signs at various gates. There were no signs on it Sunday.

    I hope the MFC was told it was OK to use the field.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.Ā

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sundayā€™s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this yearā€™s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last seasonā€™s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourneā€™s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
