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.

    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. 😝

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
