picket fence

Oh yeah right!!🤕

What a non event Interview!!😮‍💨

I hope this is tongue in cheek, Comment??

Now thats more like it Werridee, but Lindsay not yet ready and would like to see either Campbell or Johnson in the 23!

Club needs to bite the bullet and put BOTH Kentfield And Tholstrup on Long Term list, therefore opening up spots for Mentha and Culley!

I'll see you and raise you DOUBLE, Slartyfast man!

From what I have seen will play round 1

THE SPREADSHHEEIT?? WTFUURG

Dazz speaking about Mc Adam..his magic moments are SILK.. BUT too few and far between, and given his um seemingly perrenial injury moments tend to push the ledger to the negative!

Mc Adams with a "Slight" hamstring strain, said this before.... Giant Bust IMO Body not up to it!

He is a PROFESSIONAL footballer that signed a contract extension last year taking him through till 2027. This homesickness thing is rubbish. Hold him to his contract, and if IF the club rolls over as they could well do. Then we want Brayshaw and Serong AND your first round pick in 2026 AND 2027. Dont want to play ball freo?? then stuff you and repeat... Hold him to his contract PERIOD!

Jeffo post of the year!

He Travels in a TARDIS!!

Well if it was him I was HIGHLY IMPRESSED ! Could be ANYTHING WOW what a player!

I'm very optimistic based on what I saw last season and in the 5 or so sessions seen recently!

Pencilled one M Jefferson for round 1 baring any mishaps!

Squatters rights🤪

Fair enough, lets see how this pans out eh??😇😎

Werridee, Jeffo stared yesterday, and this has come from other reports as well, surely its time to bite the bullet show some faith and get early games into him?? Also Billings was sensational! Mc Adams did little that I could see and Bowser was also very good yesterday! Howes was almost invisible as well yesterday!

Wow what an offer and a half Ghosty!😆 Unfortunately I will be on a road trip " Great Ocean Rd" from early Feb which counts me out, BUT Upon my return would love to catch up with you and talk all things Dees with your good self, now hereby proclaimed Queen Ghosty the First ( and the last) patron saintess to the purveyors of fine BBQ fare specializing in Gourmet Snags! 🌭😂😁😎

Yes I only had him down for 2 but I missed the first minute or so of match sim! If this is correct he must be very close to playing Round 1 based on this report and what I witnessed in match sims. 3 goals 2 including a hit the post and strong grabs and dishoffs resulting in goals should almost guarantee a spof you would think!?.😇😎

No number, about the same size as Fritta, sticky hands, white zinc over his nose and Veeery impressive! Anyone got any ideas who he might be??

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Opening scene: A well-dressed man walks into Cranbourne Shopping Centre and finds a phone kiosk. He shuts the door and produces a USB Key which he plugs into the pay phone socket … It whirrs to life Voice: Good morning Mr Phelps, the man you are looking at is Timmy “Slim” Yong um. He is called “Slim” BUT it is an Oxymoron because he is as big as the international cricketer known as “Doubledek Abus.” He is as shifty as he is smart, he also has been known as the forerunner of the new “Zero Fade” hairstyle! In our day it would be called a basin cut! “Slim” has come to our attention as recent propaganda from his website has spoken about his love of Australian Rules Football, a game which is part of Australia’s culture. On his website he claims that, in spite of never playing a game in his life, to have joined his INTERNATIONAL club and picked up 65 possessions 50 of which were contested, leading score assist, hard ball gets, ground ball gets, contested marks and kicked 15 goals straight without a miss. Some are said to have travelled 100 meters, to the huge applause and awe of the giant crowd, made up of brothers, sisters, cousins, aunties, uncles a few Morlocks as well as Klingons!! His best friend’s Parrot and well … you get the picture! Intelligence has suggested that a team in the AFL called the Demons has attracted Slim’s attention, so much so that his plan is to photograph as many of these Demons as he can and using computer technology trans modify his head and face onto as many Demons as he can, then creating a super team in his home world!! Your I.M force will be augmented by several of these Demon Supporters who, have indicated that they will assist in bringing to justice this evil and dastardly doppelganger! The plan is simple… associative operative “Ghostwriter” will be cooking her famous “Knackwurst” Sausages with double onion and wasabi relish “Slims Favourite” he will smell the aroma and proceed to the Snag Stand. As he does so Operative “Picket Fence” will have signs erected promoting his “Reptile Viewing” area adjacent. When he ventures over, a specially trained “Slithera” will appear and bite “Slim” on the ankle, His “Knackwurst” will fall harmlessly to the ground, the slithera will enjoy the left-over snag. Your other I.M force will appear in a special edition Delorean from a movie called “Back to the Future: (How do I dream up this Sheeeit??) and apply anti snake antivenene and whisk him of for interrogation and trial! Your Mission then Jim, if you decide to accept it, is to stop Timmy “Slim” Yong em and restore world order and protect Melbourne Football Club Players from this dastardly character and theft of face identity. As usual if any of your I.M force are caught or injured the government will disavow any knowledge of your actions,, This tape will self-destruct in 5 seconds.. Good luck Jim! Whhhhhoooosh TRAINING REPORT SLITHERA CENTRAL!! Greetings Demonlanders, beautiful Day at training and the boys were hard at it, here is my report. No shows Luker Kentfield, also not sure I noticed Melky or Will Verrall?? On modified duties no contact Sparrow, Mc Vee, Tracc, Chandler, Fullarton Noticeable events (I’ll skip training Drills and get right into match sims) A) PLAYERS Max was back to full Match Simulations and although a little rusty looked very fit and ready for action. In fact, the ruck duels between him and Tom Campbell were very intriguing! Max got plenty of it and marked around the ground, but I was very impressed with Tom and he might well be looked at to support Max in Games. Sestan played down back and didn’t look all that comfortable. Aiden Johnson played forward and took one very strong mark and was involved in some passages of play but did little else. Shane McAdam might have kicked a goal but did little else that I saw. Harry Petty returned to the backline and looked very comfortable. Rick Lever also joined in match sims and as he always does finds himself the ball and linked in very well. Marty Hore plays taller than he looks and competes very well. Jacob van Rooyen TOOK the mark of the day and converted truly and contested very well as he always does. Harry Sharp was lively and his movement up and down the ground was seamless. THE GENERAL Steven May did as he usually does and looks like having a great year. B) MATCH SIMS PLAY STYLE Another poster was correct in his impressions of skills. However, a few things stood out for me. 1 Because players know the game style well and are drilled extensively in defending the footy when you haven’t got it, they automatically revert to a ‘HUNT IN PACKS ‘Mentality. Today if you tried to finesse too much you got caught and tackled MERCILESSLY. 2 The corridor was not used as much as I have previously seen in match sims and so little sideways kicks featured prominently. 3 Skills were a little hit and miss on occasions but given the intensity of match play this replicated REAL match conditions which should hold us in great stead for the year. 4 Our boys look SUPER FIT, No one gasping for air and everyone showing pace run and carry. C) DEDICATED PLAYER WATCH 1 WHO THE HELL WAS THE PLAYER WITH NO NUMBER AND WORE A WHITE ZINC CREAM ACROSS HIS NOSE??? Whoever he was he was fantastic … took several strong marks and kicked 2 goals 1 (missed a sitter) PLAYED like a souped up Fritta! but is right footed !!! 2 JACK BILLINGS was phenomenal today, was in everything, tackled hard disposed of the pill well and set up some goals and kicked a few himself I thought he was sensational. 3 THE DYNAMIC DUO….. CLARRY and JACK VINEY Clarry is almost back to his best looks super fit and really is in “Beast” Mode. DITTO J.V just does not know when and how to give in. Clarry’s disposal was occasionally off radar but generally very very sound. 4 BILL LAURIE, as Gomer Pyle would say SURRPRISE SURPRISE SUUUURPRISE, looks a lot more composed, got plenty of it and used it well. 5 ED LANGDON, Say no more the fluid running machine and glue that binds a lot of our fortunes together! 6 THE 3 AMIGOS (ACTUALLY MAKE THAT 4) ... KOSSY, RICKY, ROY GEORGE AND AMW, Kozzy is a FREAK, his feet are quicker than Rudolph Nureyev and yes he occasionally tries to do too much but BOY can he play,. Ricky Mentha and Roy have more tricks than a contortionist after being inspired by watching “The Road Runner” BEEP BEEP. AMW??? Boy do I love his run and carry out of the backline, Just exhilarating when it all comes together 7 JEFFO, hnmm well he kicked 2 goals 3 (the 3 were difficult shots with one hitting the post on the run. Look he just looks a natural player and yes, he laid some good tackles was instrumental in creating two goals and took a couple of strong contested grabs. 8 HARVEY LANGFORD Boy HE is a JET ... WILL PLAY ROUND 1 Superstar in the making just has awareness, space , toughness , run and SKILLS Well, that’s about it, One thing else I noticed was three People who were watching inside the ground on deck chairs, they didn’t see me but I saw them as previously they were OUTSIDE the ground looking in. Hnmm one I have seen before with Ghostwriter, so would love to know HOW they got in as I still can’t get access into the ground which I HATE! Finally, I would like to dedicate this training report to Australian of the Year Neale “The Reverend” Daniher and also to Hardtack. Hope you get better soon pal. Cheers to all P.F

I was there, report to follow later this arvo! A few thimgs on!😇
