During yesterdays telecast Commettie (sp?) said somthing like if you are healthy on Melbournes and still not getting a game then you'd be wondering.

Clint Bartram played one game this year after overcoming his ankle injury, then did his knee at training! :(

Of the players who haven't played this year, 4 are rookies who can't be elevated as we've missed the cut-off date.

Weetra has been injured most of the season, and Neville is still playing in the Sandy reserves.

We're pretty much down to 24 players to select from this weekend.

Correct. Good work Jaded, Bartram did play a game before injury this season.

Wasn't aware of this, when was the cut-off date?

Any word on Bruce's injury? Channel 7 said it was a hamstring at training but nothing more.

It must be this week, if this is correct, since I heard one of the other clubs has elevated a rookie for next match.

Alwyn Davey's on the long term injury list which allows Rama to stay on the senior list.

We've got lots of long term injuries so it's :wacko: why we don't elevate Neaves. The best of the rookies and the only deserving.

Is money the issue again as mfc can't scrounge up a few dollars to pay Neaves?

I fail to see the point in upgrading someone simply for the sake of it.

Neaves is way behind White & PJ in the pecking order. I wouldn't drop one of them for the sake of bringing in Neaves - what would it achieve? Not much IMO.

Can see why people want to see youngsters, but it's going a bit far.

True but Neaves is a playa i like to try. White's not a ruckmen anymore. He's a tall midfielder who can jump.

wouldn't mind giving shane neaves or even jace bode a go if we are really down to numbers.

A definite yes to Neaves. He's been very, very good at Sandy and I think a taste of AFL footy would just encourage him to work even harder. Not sure about Bode though.

You'd think based on these numbers, and the way our best&Fairest is voted on, that Junior would be a short

priced favorite to defend his prize...

Fair enough, but it seems Jamar is being picked in front of Neaves for Sandy this week and it's a big step up.

I imagine Neaves will be on the list next year, so I'm sure he'll get a chance if he's good enough.

They also started Newton on the bench a couple of weeks ago

I think Sandringham has at least one key forward not eligible to play for MFC while Jamar and Neaves are only competing against each other.

Anyhow, I was just using at as an illustration of Neaves' stocks compared to PJ and White - right now he's a long way back, regardless of what some may say about White's ability as a ruckman.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
