With all the doom and gloom surrounding the club at the moment it's important we get of to a good start by beating the Hawks in Round 1.

The problem is that a number of our players have had very little match practice as they try to get right for the first game that matter. Cameron Bruce will return from a knee injury to play for Sandringham in a VFL practice match this Sunday and according to the Herald Sun, if he "gets through unscathed, he will be selected for the Demons' Round 1 clash with Hawthorn."

The report says club has also applied for AFL permission to play Clint Bartram, James Frawley, Cale Morton, Lynden Dunn, Chris Johnson, Jared Rivers and Paul Wheatley in Sunday's game against Williamstown.

No Wheels?

i think wheels looked a few weeks away. still got a few touches and did some nice things, but never really hit full speed.

there is no need to rush wheels back for round 1. beating hawthorn in round one is not the be-all and end-all match of the season for us. i think they'll get wheels back onto the training ground for a couple of weeks to get the body ticking again, then maybe play him at sandy and step up his match time. all going well i'm sure he'll cruise into our team.

fingers crossed on the injury front

Agree. After watching us on the weekend, we won't get close to a good side like the Hawks even with a full side (minus Bate). So I wouldn't bother with Whelan and possibly Bruce.

Round 2 against the Dogs at the G' might be more of a feasible assignment.

Melbournefc.com saying that Jack Grimes is out for 6-8 weeks with a groin. Would have liked to see him in the side as early as possible seeing as though we are rebuilding (there is no sugar-coating this, WE ARE RE-BUILDING). Hope it's not the dreaded OP!

Wasn't he on a modified program cause of his foot? Now it's his groin?

And I thought he had stress fractures to his back last year. It must be spreading.

Very worrying. It's easy to draw conclusions but in the current footballing lexicon the word groin unfortunatley is synonymous with the term Ostietis Pubis.

6-8 with only a groin strain sounds doubtful. but we can still hope

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
