PF   please be known, I once upon a time many years ago knew Dave Kelly, a nice enough bloke to know. No idea how good or bad as a footballer.  Very tall bloke but I never saw him play football or get angry.  Good enough to get on the list, so far beyond my dreams, but maybe did not get angry on the field.  (around 1985 ?) 

This is our year, grab it by the throught.

    I’m standing in front of “this year” ready to grab it - but I can’t find its “throught”. Help me please.

    Spelling never was my go, arithmetic and number logical progression now that’s a piece of [censored], or was.

    Was it a missing Ay?

    To grab by the throught: Is to grab another's thought before it exits his throat.

    There looks to be some positive signs around Adams this pre season is he a round 1 chance? 

    Adams' apples?

     

    p.s. Yep. Though leads to discussion about whose place he takes...

    While they're all at you, 640, forgive me for looking forward to later in the season, when the heat becomes colder.

     

    Is that your boot I feel as we see myself out?

    The club hasn't posted any info about training times this week.

    https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times

     My guess

    Sunday the 16th March, we play. So, a Captain's run the day before, Saturday at Gosch's, probably starting around 9.30 am. Main training at Casey on Thursday 13th, 10.00 am. Recovery run, Tuesday 11th, at Gosch's 9.30 am.

    Is there really a spot for Langford in the AFL side ? If we run with JVR Disco and Johnson, can’t really have another big 192 cm player plonked in the forward line, he would have to be getting midfield minutes. Curious to see how this plays out through the season 

    AJ appears to have done more than Disco in the pre Season. Reckon he gets the nod

    Great point re: Turner capable of playing back.

    As Hawthorn have shown with Sicily, versatility in-game is key and the likes of Petty and Disco can be switched either end in game.

    yes i can imagine if both are down an immediate swap could take place. sometimes Petty takes the ruckman though which Turner might struggle with. 

    I think Turner and Jefferson have to use their wheels more as both have some pace.

    Never seen them so fast!

     

    Apologies in advance @Roost it far she had to leave at halftime. But she rang me from her car and said what she saw today would make any Dees fan very excited. Normally levelheaded and staid, she was so excited she took a wrong exit off the highway. THAT’S how excited we should be 😅

    She said at halftime the teams split up into two teams each and played against each other (half a side vs half a side). 

    Petty in both teams???  How did he manage that?

    This is what happens when a ghostwriter uses a ghostwriter. Or…

    Petts did play in both, one in defence and one up forward. 😝

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
