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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
