Norf, based of exposed form, will pull our pants down.

Sounds like our form is going to be exposed.

Clayton’s hand reinjured at training…clearly hasn’t been right all year. 

Any mention of how long?

No mention that he will miss, but they were doing a tackling drill and Kolt got Clarry and he got up grimacing and holding his hand.

I thought the guys were on a 6 day break? Was there a training session? 

A bloke from an inner suburb  on the north western side of town said he  thought he heard something went on down at the local in regard to wagering.

They are. It ended today. If there was a training session today (on a Sunday?) they weren’t all in attendance.

edit: they did train today. Not all were in attendance

After watching North vs Pies today I would say that North are red-hot favourites to [censored] us next week. 

After watching north for 12 rounds id say they are red hot favourites for the spoon

If it was / is that dodgy he was probably a week to week proposition anyway.

Then you have to ask, why did we play him vs Brissy when all the signs and the timing said don't.  He even came off the track after the Cap run that week and looked very worried, chatting to trainers for at least 3 to 5 mins.

Give him that week off, get the opp, then another 4 to 6 to fully heal.  He's back for the Saints match (latest).

Instead we gave him the bye to get over the opp and straight back into it again for Anzac eve.  Has never looked fully right besides maybe one or two reasonable games since.

He effectively missed the pre-season, and has been playing catch-up ever since. Regardless of what's going on with his hand, he's never going to be fully right until next year.


The players were mostly back today for the mid season breakfast meeting with their club sponsor. Training was after breakfast and I was told the emphasis was on goal kicking. From what I saw on the news the emphasis was on tackling and pressure (Clarrie came uo saw in a wrestling match with Kolton).

I believe McVee wasn't available not sure if he has an injury. I would really like to see him in the midfield for a stint.

Our best in form wins came against Port Adelaide, Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs.

Can't count St Kilda as a one of our best wins lol. They're absolutely crud..

No coincidence that BB played alright in those games where we had blokes like ANB and Langdon playing their natural position. 

And beating the previously-undefeated Cats. Which feels like it was in a different season. 

Pies were bad first half.  Loading?  Were witches hats for Norf training run.  Switched on 2nd half and shot them lame duck that the shinbones are.  We got this.

Yep.

Unfortunately same goes for petty, McAdam, BBB and possibly tmac (I say possibly because tmac has looked in remarkably good nick given he had an interrupted preseason).

What would you like her to say ? “We fully back and support our coach and his staff”

Jon Ralph had a red hot crack at her last week on Foxtel's mid week tackle.

He said you never hear from her in the tough times.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
