Speaking of netball, I played at Melbourne High tonight and landed badly on my ankle. :angry:

I've had it on ice all night, but the way it feels at the moment I'm touch and go to be right for Sunday.

Irrespective of whether it comes up, I'll be at the game. Rollo, worst case scenario is you'll get that goal umpire we need.

If we have enough on the bench, we might rotate the boundry umpire role among the benchees. It'll keep us warm when not on the field.

Disappointing Wise...

Why did you need to mention Melbourne High? Surely the courts at that wonderful, wonderful Castle of education aren't to blame for your injury...

;)

That's bad news Wise :angry:

Hope you can get it going for Sunday!

Big weekend for us. I'm trekking to Geelong tomorrow for the clash and am ready for Sunday as are my two mates (Trav & Dave).

Can't believe we have no boundary riders! Guys, bring along some mates of mates who are passionate for the Dees or if footy is their thing. We need them!

"I'm touch and go to be right for Sunday."

bloody hell, wise... :o:o

between you and cribbes and ruckle and madness...

it looks like a conspiracy to give poor old rollo a heart attack and an early grave...

btw, people, there is no after-match function organised yet... :unsure:

sainters usual people are either unavailable or uncontactable...

I will keep trying... :rolleyes:

also, wise, I assume you will post the final list on here ??

My ankle hasn't come up well today, but fingers crossed it'll be right to go on Sunday. I might have to play deep in the forward line to limit the mileage.

Blessed_Hands can ruck till Cribbes arrives, then they can rotate for the remainder of the match.

We're a couple of talls down now, but with a dozen available on the bench we might wait till we see who shows up on Sunday before finalising the line up.

"Final line-up..."

glad to see your ankle has come good, wise... :rolleyes:

last reminder to all...

bring your own water (to start), sunscreen, and spare footy jumpers if you have them...

we haven't played at gosch's paddock before, but it sounds like footy boots will be fine, and players won't have to resort to alternative footwear...

that's a good-looking bench we have there... :rolleyes:

It hasn't Rollo. I can't even run on it, let alone think about changing directions. :mellow:

But I'll strap it up and give myself a last minute fitness test before kick off... with a little luck I'll be good for a cameo in the forward pocket.

Leaving Healesville now, see you all down there.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
