Wrecker... Cheers.

Living so far away from Melbourne, posts like this are gold.

Maloney deserves his spot, he works so hard.

Jones, what can we say, here is our star.

Thanks mate.

Diabalo, get out there with that camera next week mate.

Thanks for the training updates. I would never have put Beamer right up there in the spatial awareness categories, as he always, always gets tackled trying to take on a second and third opponent when breaking out of a pack. Good for him though that he's finally able to have a flying pre-season.

As for Wheels, bit of a worry if he's in the rehab group again this pre-season as he was last year. At his age and with the style of football he plays, is his body starting to let him down? Lets hope not, or its a slippery slope to retirement.

I expect to see a photo in the paper the day after all our draftees join their first training session, the obligatory 'group shot', each holding a footy, smiling and quoted as saying 'its great to be training with some of my boyhood idols' and 'I didnt realise it would be so intense'...

A new generation is emerging, a full cycle is almost complete-

1. Knowing how to spell

2. Not knowing how to spell because the spellchecker corrects everything anyway.

3. Not knowing how to spell, and being on a forum/chat which doesn't have a spell checker.

4. wtf lol

5. Callaps of civilizashun as we konw it

This is what happened to the Romans, I swear.

'Visigoth' is actually spelt 'Visalageth'.

Fight Back! Hand write a letter to your grandmother. It's the only hope.

they should be like me. get fire fox. install the spell check add on. and you'll never have this problem again.

(unfortunately, it doesn't force capital letters like in word yet...)

just to put it out there, i was standing next to the tan today and the hawks all ran past (including who i think was cyril rioili) and they are looking pretty fit...

Is Cyril Rioli not doing the Kokoda Trail?

Or is that later in the week?

One thing on Beama - bumped into him in Barcelona during... late Sept i think, a few days before the whole nath carroll/ brock/ rivers saga and he said he's feeling better than he has for a few years.

Look for a great season from this guy.

actually 2 more things - he's one of the best blokes i've met, AFL but otherwise also. But not always the smartest - managed to have his camera, wallet and watch pinched whilst he had a nanna nap on the beach that night before we went out tot he club.

But a really good bloke nonetheless

Yup ... and there it is. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/Default.aspx...mp;newsId=53917 not holding footballs though, but with arms folded is the second choice....

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
