The intel I have is that Clarry won't be risked next week!

Hope you are correct.

Not taking things for granted but with Richmond’s injuries, even with having Oliver and Salem out I am not just expecting us to win but am hoping to see a ‘statement game’ and getting a percentage boost.

Following week is the big game against the cats.  Carlscum five days later unfortunately is a bit problematic. Want three wins, will settle for two, nothing less.

I spoke to Clarry last night. Said he is a stone cold certainty to play. 

Which means he wontđŸ˜…

We should do this with Clarry against the Tiges for sure with cats coming up the week after.  We play Kangas once and Eagles twice. Will be interesting to see our approach to players needing to be nursed.

100%

Regardless of what player says, for his own good (and the Club's) he should not be risked against the Tigers.

There's literally no upside to do so but plenty if we don't.

He might also need to be held back against the Cats.  Whatever it takes,  need to get his hand 95%-100% right and coming back in ripping nick.

All I can do is tell you exactly what the actual player said when I asked him if he was playing against Richmond. He then again stated it to the assembled group at a function. 

He may well have. These guys don’t let much out and if it’s in DL then everyone knows. So I. Hand he does play and in the other he doesn’t… Perfect headache for Yze and the Tigers

Just realised I am a year behind @Demonland 

Put 2023, instead of 2024 in the title.

It seems that @Demonland has been lurking around in his DMC DeLorean again. I have elicited a promise from him that he won’t get ahead of himself or go back in time for now. We’re back to taking things one week at a time.

Based on my very extensive experience kev, confusing dates is a sure sign of being a [censored] pot!

Saw the DeLorean beam in and out of Code footy on their Facebook post.

 @Demonland is entertaining himself again.

Can we trust him to take it a week at a time  @Whispering_Jack?

I didn't even know I became the ride along, @Bitter but optimistic could be right.

Many thanks as always @kev martin. 
Two questions please?  Did you sight ‘Disco’, and if so, was he back or forward?  Thanks.

Yes looking good, bonding well with the team. Showing some confidence and moving well. Turner had the bib on a few times during sims, and because it was 9 v 18 he was mainly chasing and having to play a defensive role, though more up the field around the wings, than deep in the backline.

Had a feeling he is not the next for a call up. I think they are looking closely at Fullarton.

It's pretty normal from my experience.

The difficult part is getting back to full pace.

I did my hammy when I was 14.

Still waiting to get back to full pace.

Sensible decision - he can be relied upon to get himself 'match fit', working through injuries and related negativities to his form. On several occasions, I have seen him training (and he has done so at far greater effort, concentration and work rate than any other team member), so we should have confidence in his training philosophy and method(s). It is also time for Trac to slow down his external commitments and appearances; from his recent Adelaide adventures, he must have been 'almost' exhausted, as suspected during the Brizzy game, giving public addresses and forums, cooking demonstrations, travel to and from locations, preparations for the public domain whilst still meeting Club/Team commitments and preparations. 

Huh?

Are you saying Trac should not do a cooking demonstration or talk in public because he's too exhausted?

Comedy gold!

If Jim Stynes can play with 2 broken legs and a fractured arm Oliver should be able to play, if not he's a sook and should swallow some concrete and harden the .... up

Love you history mention on the great Jimmy. 

Oliver's one wood is his lighting hands plus others so if clean handling is slightly off so is clarry.

He must be 100% to go for his own sake I reckon

Not exactly, but it was a busy week outside, yet amid, a short schedule of three critical games - match preparations included - and as we all know, candles burning at both ends expire relatively quickly.

Players have got to have their lives too. I doubt a cooking demo does anything but make him happy. 

Fairy Nuff.

Additional: I cannot remember seeing Kossie at the training.

I've been known for not observing some when they were out there.

Did anyone see any club photo's or media look ins?

If I am right, my guess would be some extended leave, possibly at home.

(Nothing like some unsubstantiated rumours.)

That's just the sort of quote where we lose....percentage booster..

I am happy with that. 

Agree. Clarry has been well below his influential best recently (obviously hampered by his injury).

Dont bring him back until his hand is fully recovered

I love sarcasm even though it's the lowest form of humour.

I'll keep an eye out for it in future.

Salem being able to run just over a week after doing a hamstring is a good sign.

So did Clarry, then missed most of the season

I wouldn’t say it’s the lowest.

 

Not sure where to post this but next Saturday the 27th April we have Oakleigh Chargers Vs GC Academy.

We have Noah Yze and Kalani White on show.

No doubt we will have recruiting staff present.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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 Fullarton’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 Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’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 wasn’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 team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. 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. Since that game, the Demons’ 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 they’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 ‘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. Sunday’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?
