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).

    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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
