Also Lever was in rehab group.

Salem and Bowser did some training, but were mainly in rehab group. Jack Viney was in rehab group as well. Petty was in rehab group, but did run several laps of the oval, and was moving well. There is still 6 days to game, which may be needed for some of this group.

The pleasing thing from trading is that Melksham was doing full training and was moving well.

I would like to thank WalkingCivalWar as the food from the BBQ was beautiful.

Please everyone who is going can they barrack as twice as loud, because I am unable to go because my back is putting great pressure on my groin, which is causing a lot of pain, and making it hard to walk. I am using a walker to walk, and taking pain killers. I am seeing a physio who is very happy with progress. Too hard to go with walker, and I doing exercises and plenty of walking to get better. This is the first Melbourne game I have missed at the Mcg for many years.

I was going for my afternoon walk to Ghoshs Paddock and saw Mark Williams conducting what looked like a goal kicking drill with several players. The players included Gawn, Trac, Brayshaw, Spargo, and Laurie. Some ladies from Korea were watching and all the players had a photo taken with the ladies after the drill finished. Mark Williams was then had a good talk with the Korean ladies.

I was going for an afternoon walk through Ghoshs Paddock and saw Clarry Oliver training on Melbourne's training ground. He was running laps and seemed in good spirits as he replied to me that he was going well. He was there with someone else and they had footballs with them. He looked in good spirits, but I am unsure how far he is behind everyone else in conditioning.

Merry Christmas to everyone on Demonland. Thank you to Andy and team for running such a great site.

There is a vfl app that has scores and player stats

No need to book a table.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. It is a tough Christmas for me because my 92 year old Mum died on Saturday 10th December from bladder cancer. We had a wonderful memorial service for Mum on Wednesday 21st December. Thank you to Andy and team for running a great website.

I will be watching last years Grand Final tomorrow, to celebrate this anniversary.

Doc Roet Good luck after your surgery, and I hope that you get better asap.

I have sent my email address to you.

I saw Mark Williams at cricket, and thanked him for the premiership. He said congratulations. He was with Dylan Shields and his daughter. It is great to be wearing Melbourne gear at the MCG with pride.

Ron Barassi coached Melbourne in 1964 when Norm Smith was coaching Victoria.

Melksham was already under contract for next year.

What a great feeling to win a premiership after 57 years. Well done to all the supporters who stayed loyal in the bad years. CARN THE DEMONS.

My Membership barcode is no longer available. I hope that Patricia and Teagan get tickets as well. I have been dreaming for 50 years to be at Grand final when Melbourne wins, but not possible with Covid19.

I have a Priority 1 membership available for anyone is interested in going to the Grand Final. Colin Email [email protected]

I was 6 years old, but was not at the game.

For all that asked my mum was a lot better today than yesterday, though she will need some rehabilitation at the Peter James Centre. It is great to be sitting 9/0 for the season. They are playing great team football. CARN THE DEMONS.

My 90 year old Mother had a fall on Wednesday, and is now in Box Hill Hospital. I am now on my way to the MCG after visiting her on the way. CARN THE DEMONS.

A great win. On the way home from game, I was standing at taxi rank at Caulfield Station, and man waiting as well was former player Paul Callery. He asked what my memory was like, and I told the famous story when Vin Waite knocked him out, and Big Carl knocked out Waite. Waite got 4 weeks at tribunal, and Big Carl zero weeks.

A very good team performance. CARN THE DEMONS.
