I don't suppose Kolt's 10-12 weeks out counts as a LTI? (cue Boy George). I suspect the injury needs to occur during the season proper?

And what constitutes 'long term'?

Searched 'Demons, tank' on Deepseek and got no results!

‘Demons tank in Tiananmen Square exhibition match’

The heavily favoured Dee’s wore their red away strip in their recent AFL exhibition match in Bejing, and rolled over the Bombers who were very static and constantly argued with officials. The flattened Bombers have recanted AFL and there will not be a rematch.

Yeah that’s Culley

FWIW I was surprised that the Eagles cut him considering where they’re at in their list build 

Got a Rising Star nomination and looked like he was developing into a player before he got hit with an ACL

Wouldn’t be against trying to squeeze him onto the senior list depending on how things shake out this year 

After I saw his name on here the other day I stumbled upon an article maybe from the West Australian newspaper on Facebook which had maybe 4 or 5 WC supporters comments lamenting Culley's delisting.

So who was the player with no name? 
Edit : I meant no number but no name makes him sound way more interesting 🤣

No number, about the same size as Fritta, sticky hands, white zinc over his nose and Veeery impressive! Anyone got any ideas who he might be??

No I think they could put him on the LTI now, which they could also do with Luker if they plan to go ultra conservative given it sounded pretty severe!

From my understanding the supplemental signing period ends Feb 21.

This was quite difficult to work out so there are a few missing. There were a few players who I couldn't see from the footage and a few top ups that I don't recognise.

 

Blue team:

B: Bowie,  Adams

HB: Billings, TMac, Lindsay

C :  Sharp, Oliver, Langdon

HF: Laurie  Pickett, McAdams

F:  Fritsch, JVR,  Melksham

R: Gawn, Langford, Sestan

 

White team:

B: Howes, May, Lever

HB: Windsor, Petty, Salem

C : Brown, Viney, Woewodin

HF: Mentha,  

F: Jefferson, Johnson, George

R: Campbell, Rivers, Culley

Dancing with your sister kind of stuff this time of the year. 

Every club will have footage where they'll show the good stuff and the not so good stuff.

Take it with a grain of salt, let's wait for the real stuff.

Ps. Langford looks bloody good though..... 🔫

I think dancing with your sister is kinda weird.

Fair bit of Jefferson propaganda in here for you @picket fence

In the opening moments of the contest, young forward Matt Jefferson put his hand up as a player to watch, taking a contested mark and kicking the first goal of the session.

It wasn’t long before the 20-year-old was once again amongst the action, darting through forward 50 traffic and slotting another score.

In the second term, Jefferson continued to keep the goals coming for the white team. Thanks to the work of teammate Kynan Brown, who dodged through congestion to deliver the perfect kick, Jefferson was able to seal the six points from the goal square.

Yes I only had him down for 2 but I missed the first minute or so of match sim! If this is correct he must be very close to playing Round 1 based on this report and what I witnessed in match sims. 3 goals 2 including a hit the post and strong grabs and dishoffs resulting in goals should almost guarantee a spof you would think!?.😇😎

One thing else I noticed was three People who were watching inside the ground on deck chairs, they didn’t see me but I saw them as previously they were OUTSIDE the ground looking in. Hnmm one I have seen before with Ghostwriter, so would love to know HOW they got in as I still can’t get access into the ground which I HATE!

You’ll be pleased to know that training at Casey on Friday the 14th of February is an open session. Start time to be announced this Tuesday. All the usual activations (despite kids being back at school) but sadly no sausage sizzle. Since I get to watch training, I might pull up a deck-chair next to you PF!

Supporters seem to expect that match simulation will be the same quality as two AFL best 22 teams going head to head when in fact it's between some AFL calibre players and at least half the list who are depth, not quite good enough, or junior players learning what AFL footy is all about.

They're also judging 30 minutes to an hour, or so, of match sim condensed into 6 minutes of video.

It beggars belief the conclusions they're capable of drawing.

Btw, what teams aren't making mistakes at this time of year ?

not to mention that both teams know the game plan, so they know where the ball is going.  Hence why it looks like bad kicking to contests, but the fact is everyone knows it's going there.

Would they have put Bellanie in a Melbourne guernsey on team photo day if his heart is somewhere else? Methinks not 😁

Some of the children of the players were in guernseys but not all, so clearly it was optional.

Along with Ardu’s sister (who’s also her best friend) living close by in Melbourne, Kozzie’s sister has moved to Melbourne too.

And wouldn’t that mean Kolt won’t be able to play for six months? This is what I heard at training.

Kozzie has been thinking about a move for a while now GW, and he has informed the club he wants to go. The only hope is if he changes his mind. Koz loves the club and that has kept him here.

I hope you are right GW and that the noise coming out of the Freo camp is just another ploy. Still awhile away so no point stressing i suppose.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
