ill add a disclaimer. that i personally know nothing but i heard a rumour. lol. but if your gonna change your bets or your tips...

nothing surprising.

You just don't have blokes like mclean, yze on the emergency.

Yze better get some kicks as i traded him from embley only for him to be a late withdrawal.

You can expect a good percentage of them to be "off-the-ground jobs", especially if it gets damper. I mean you wouldn't want to get your glove wet would you. I can see it now. Blokes like Newton who tend to take the ball with one grab can still mark in wet conditions and for mine he would have yet been a valid inclusion.

I'm going to see Sandy, Sunday anyway.

I like Yze - but not as a replacement for Neitz

I understand the "Its going to be wet, use less talls" approach

but its not that wet out there, for a Melbourne Friday night in winter

and our forward line is already short - Robbo will be the only tall - and i wouldn't even call him that

Posted
ok lets say its not a rumour... :P

Come on, spill... who do you know? <_< ;)

Nothing surprising though. Hopefully Yze has a good game and we get to see Juice soon.

Oh and BROCKY FOR CAPTAIN. That is the new bandwagon I'm driving tonight.


Posted
sorry jaded i stole that bandwagon and im off!

BROCKY FOR CAPTAIN TONIGHT AND THE NEXT 12 YEARS!

Damn you!

Always stealing my thunder.

I think Brocky would appriciate it more if I was driving! :rolleyes::P

Would have to be a double-stat.

Which one of those 5 kicks would he have used?

He has nothing to smirk about (apart from the easy money).

Yeah, I know about the groin.

easy to pick on Ooze..how about picking on the big mouthed players who come out and spin shizen every week in the media then put up performances that the Hadfield under 9's girls team would be embarrassed about...

"Going to see Sandy Sunday" - hope to hell that ND gets off his ass and goes for a Captain Cook too - may actually learn something, like MICHEAL Newton's name- ND ref p 43 MFC 2007 Almanac.

" Yeah, I know about the groin." Did ND know about the groin??? If so why did he play him - if not, why not???

The groin is alleged to have failed somewhat toward the end of the game. It's a good story any way. Yze was able to pass a fitness test but you'd be tempted to think that it may have only been just stringent enough for him to pass fit for selection.

If an injury can pass an injury test, it should pass a game otherwise the test its gone through is crap and I don't care what level the test has been done at. If a person passes a medical and breaks down down, I blame the medical staff - no excuses

i doubt he even had a fitness test. he has OP. of course he can run and kick but it causes a lot of pain. when uoi havnt used it all day and they say run here jump high, kick this it would feel a bit sore but manageable. when you start running at full intensity in a footy match it wuld degenerate pretty quickly. if hedidnt play for melb last night he wouldnt of played for sandy, he wouldve rested. he shouldnt have played, and if he isnt over the groin problem by the end of the year he should do the right thing and retire.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
