I’m in the USA, they cancelled the #1 food trade show this week with many of us visiting from all over the globe; yet have kept Disneyland open which is across the road with tourists from all over the world. they have declared a state of emergency in LA, enabling a bunch of health government things be done. and nba teams have been asked to plan for playing games with empty stadiums! the virus is coming for all communities, stay well everyone.

I’ve heard more an attitude issue than on field. Belief he will do well at Hawks but attitude didn’t fit model and wasn’t good for the young group coming through. not sure what to make of it.

Had a good chat to Pedo on the long weekend minutes after the Phillip island vs Cora Lynn blockbuster finished in a draw. He was BOG alongside the CL full forward. Played Ruck all day for PI. Lovely guy.

Sat behind the bench, Oliver tried to get back on for last 5mins and couldn’t. Ordinary. I think they wanted Melksham off but couldn’t get him. Got to fix that.

FettersFlyers, love to play again thanks

Also had it confirmed. Terrible news. Rest In Peace, such a talent unfulfilled in many ways.

I spoke with one of the MFC coaches on Sunday, Viney certain to play. Might play half vs Geelong VFL, would have played vs Giants if we had lost to WCE. Pretty insightful chatting to a coach must admit, some other insights I really enjoyed hearing.

My understanding is Viney is a long shot to play again this year. Sad but true.

I watched the 1st half today and thought Jeffry played his role. A lot of pressure acts and tackles, some leading to goals plus one classy, classic Jeffry goal himself. wasnt disappointing for me. There is definite things to like about Keilty, Balic, Stretch, Frost at this level. Baker promising. if we need changes next week I’d be happy with Vince.

I'm here also Diamond, what a fabulous game, great stadium, pity bout the second goal. Just watched game 2 at fanzone, wouldn't mind a few Icelandic blokes in the Dees backline, they go hard!!! go Aussies

Absolutely smashed round the clearances. Lucky to be this close

Massive crowd. MCC is full, just walked half the ground to find a seat. Electric atmosphere. carn Demons

Tough call, having seen this one live.....In Viney out Spargo or Weid, depending if we go tall or smaller very little times last night when we had 3 big talls deep, TMac and Hoges both rotated on the ball/wing alot Salem was really good, as was Lewis, they won a lot of important footy one on one as the Suns charged forward, Vince solid, so no changes down back for me. Weid is building ok, a luxury to have him build in the AFL. Spargo will be a beauty, but not impacting enough yet, ANB was much much better than him

Article is well written and a bit close to home so as fans we get defensive. This has the potential to drag on and be a downer on our year, it won't if we win early, set up a finals spot and gofrom there. I had the displeasure of lisetening to a few local footy club friends last week who had a lot of inside word on this one, it was hard to defend given what they shared. I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall when Bellamy and Goodwin talked after it blew up and was cancelled, I head that conversation was one for the ages and defining in Bellamys view of where to next. bellamy is perhaps the greatest coach in australian sport in the past twenty years, if we can learn anything from him we should. Say what you like about the NRL or Storm, they are simply amazing team. Every single year I head to Storm games knowing we will likely win....again. as we head into the Cats game I'm keen to win and move past this as a relevant topic, there is no positives in this coming up again and again.

As above. Keen to be involved again. Fetters Flyers.

Deevoted I'm keen to go again. Team name is Fetters Flyers.

Coached in 2018 by his U18 coach whom he excelled with - Plapp in the Demons midfield. I like it. Is he better at the same age than Kane Lambert? That's the comparison I'm looking at.

Don't believe everything you hear. Nothing here that isn't done at other clubs every year. Let's worry about that when we've actually played a final, right now none of the playing group is good enough for that.

Spoke to someone from Carlton yesterday and they thought Kelly would stay at GWS

I know someone who did quite a lot of leadership work at Melbourne this pre season. He does a lot of this work in sporting team, not just AFL. His advice was back in February if picking a Captain Lewis was miles in front of others and one of the best astute leadership candidates he had ever seen. happy to have him as a Demon.

So the Footy Dept might be prepared to bet one of our 44 list spots on a guys with 5yrs development, about to enter his prime in footy, clearly a talented junior and has played some good footy in seniors. He fits our age profile. Expect a lot of bombers to play improved footy once they get out and the saga ends. Would have been an appalling place to develop as a youngster, much like Melbourne in 2010-2013. I'm know more or less excited by him than I was Harmes, Hunt, Bail, M Jones, Pederson or Lumumba when they came onto our list. A few have added real value, a few stink, but if we get him for pick 40 that's fine.

Is he a bit like Bell at Carlscum? Big bodied mid who came in late and now looks the part.

Loved it, great video MFC. If Vanders had been taken at pick 2 instead of Petracca right now I'd be very satisfied with the scouts and recruiters......to think he comes as a Rookie pick 2 is extraordinary! Wow MFC, just wow.

Very excited after my first view of him at training, wow I reckon we have a serious gun on ours hands that we have wanted for so long. Fantastic recruitment in 2015 Demons, headlined by this guy.

Do elaborate? Is it him scoring 120+ supercoach every week....getting 32 touches and kicking 3 goals.....in black and white.....that bugs me also. Would feel much better if he did it in red and blue though!
