OutOfTheCentre21

This sounded awesome! My son is a junior member through my MCC/MFC premium membership and I hadn't heard [censored]ut this. Was it advertised? I might need to give the club a call and enquire why we didn't receive any emails about it. 

A great day was had by our crew and an impressive crowd turnout (especially considering the weather)! Thanks to the Demon Army for their efforts, it was an impressive setup all-round. 

My son was absolutely stoked to get some signatures and a few photos! 

Can we pretty please have someone pay close attention to Butters this time?

He destroyed us last year in a close battle, he was clearly the difference and I struggled to identify who his opponent was. 41 touches, 2 goals.

I suggest Sparrow goes with him. Not necessarily a hard tag but certainly tracking him and not letting him run free, he is far too dangerous! 

From The Age (Jake Niall) :

Gun Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver is on track to play in the AFL season opener against the Swans at the SCG, subject to confirming his fitness levels. 

The Demons confirmed that Oliver was trending in the right direction to be selected and play at senior level in the first game of 2024.

But Oliver, who performed well in the VFL practice match against Carlton on Wednesday, had to show he was fit enough to run out the game at senior level, according to a senior club source, speaking on condition of anonymity about a player who has been in headlines over summer.

Woohoo!

My kids and nephews and nieces are devastated that there is no family day this year. It's the only chance they get to have face to face with the players.

This was the first year I was going to take my son. I'm gutted...!

Can someone please confirm our current pick holding for 2023:

5,11,39 (received for JJ), 81 (to pick Kynan Brown). 

Not sure whether i am correct on above.

6, 11, 42 and 93 I believe based on the website below. Hard to keep track!!!

Demons have something cooking… had one of the most heartwarming wry grins I’ve seen in a LONG time last night —- in response to a question about how we’re gonna fill these list spots & why were no longer in frame for pick 4 — suddenly I feel warm and fuzzy inside…

 

Lets hope it wasn’t just to perk me up a bit.. keep an eye on the headlines folks!

 

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

So.... What was this about?

Hate to say I told you all so.. but nah, I just make Things up — Something was brewing and it looks like it’s about to become public knowledge 

Out with what you know... Please? 😅

I cannot see any world where this is possible, but I wouldn't say no!

He is Geelong through and through and I would guess they are still aiming for a other flag.

But I walked away with knowledge that either Dees or Saints were gonna have a big big win this off-season

Ben King?!

🤞🤞🤞 Any hints? Key forward related? 

We are screaming out for a genuine key forward or two! We must target one in the trade period and move on BBB and Tmac.

Petty is an exciting prospect but also a touch injury prone. There is room for both Petty and a new key forward recruit.

How plays ruck whilst max is resting? 

Joel Smith.

Who comes out if Turner's in as a forward?  T-Mac?

JVR is missing this week.

Dan Turner played forward in a scratch match against Carlton and apparently did ok. He was training with the forwards today and Greg Stafford spent a lot of time with him.

Brown, T-Mac, Smith, Turner and Fritta were the hit up forwards in red denoting they’re in the selection picture. Roo and Schache were in the green vests. Grundy trained with the mids.

How did Brown look? Did he look fit? 

Q50, Row B. Dees section. Let's get it on!!!!

I can't go. Very disappointed. Hopefully I'll step off the plane and learn how the Dees dismantled the pies.

Time to change that flight! 😅

I'm a touch annoyed about the Thursday night but I guess it makes some sense that all other games have teams travelling and interstate travel on a weeknight would be very difficult for those fans.

We have to be happy to have a final in Melbourne when we finished 4th. Let's GO Dees!!!

McDonald has five.

4 or 5?

Perhaps Grundy, 15 and 24 (instead of 34) for Mclean and 12 is more realistic?

Or maybe I'm just dreaming.

Surely we'd only give up one of 15 or 24, not both. Grundy has more value than McLean I think.

Mitch Lewis was the one went for and didnt land,

Let's get Jacob anyway 😂 we need a few options I feel. 

I seem to remember there were strong rumours last trade period that we were very close to getting a key forward. I have a feeling that may have been Jacob Koschitzke from the Hawks. He's out of contract this year and wouldn't cost us much at all. Thoughts? Only 23 years old, 1.98m.

This has a bit of North vs Dees at the moment. Please keep at it GC!!!

And why didn’t Petracca drill it right through?

That too. Most other nights, both nail those I reckon! 

Still in shock that Salem missed his shot running into goal. 😔

Will Verrall just looks and moves like a player. I reckon he’s a goer. Be great to see him come on.

I was just thinking that. He looks like a young and sprightly McDonald!
