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?  

 

This heat is far too hot too play football. 
methinks started too early

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?


anyone know what this weeks training schedule looks like? thanks in advance (apologies if missed somewhere!)

People, like me, who use it have heard the Ed Zachary disease joke.

Not me. I'll look it up! (I think I can guess its tenor, knowing my boss...)

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.

Kolt Milky Judd running laps

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. 😝

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
