...  And they did bulk running at the end of training.  Not ideal for a game at 10 tomorrow morning.

This was:

Trac, May, Langdon, Gawn, Salem, Spargo, Viney.

Better time than 10am on a Friday morning during school time like Sydney v GWS TODAY.

Do they seriously get funds for growing the game in NSW?

    The DA props-maker (and one of our triumvirate of leaders) has already got a great idea for a handheld banner. She’s running with it already. Now to convince the entire playing group 🤔 

    I vote for  - & Co

    Oliver, Petracca & Co

     

    Not my idea, can't remember who thought of it.

    Probably ends up Anco

    "Bison" is Mitch Marsh.  Langford deserves a nickname of his own.

    With a name like ‘Harvey’, I’d suggest ‘Rabbit’ as a nickname.

    It’d better be! I’ve told him I’d make it happen. But then I told him I’d find him a girlfriend (it’s a long story) and that hasn’t happened so he must know I’m full of empty promises 😅

    edit: I’ve just messaged this nickname info to the DA powers that be, including asking how we can make this happen. Now I await their reply which will likely be along the lines of GW- stop making promises for us to follow through on. 🙃

    Could always use a megaphone 📣 and start shouting things like, "kick it to Bison", "nice kick, Bison" and initially you will see confusion amongst the team, especially Bison, but persist, and especially get excited when he puts it through the big sticks, "nice goal, Bison!" Doing it in a positive reinforcement way will make the name stick. I also want this filmed for the socials.

    Love to hear it. No point risking the guys said who are missing out against North in that weather. Save em. Protect the older bodies/ guys with injury clouds.

     

    No doubt the majority if not all will be on the plane to play freo next week as well👍🏼

    I would like to see the player management like the Cats did in 2022. They did a superb job of it that year in particular with their 'older' players.

    A confused Bison can’t be a good thing.

    But thanks for the suggestions, especially the megaphone. However, we had to apply to the AFL for permission to use a drum, I just can’t see them signing off on a megaphone.

     I gleaned that. 😄 Maybe 5 or 10 years ago someone wrote an article (in a newspaper I think) suggesting that AFL teams should go out of their way to find attractive local ladies to win the hearts of interstate recruits and thus stop them wanting to return home. Sure, love doesn't work as smoothly as that, and Harvey is local anyway. But it was an interesting and amusing idea (and probably sometimes these interstate romances happen anyway.)

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
