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...

Zackery what I've been saying' for nigh on two years.

😊 Had a boss who said 'exackery'. A very absorbable word. Got me.

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. 😝

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
