They have to be good at something.

I don't think there is a nicer, more genuine and more giving person than Jack. His passion for the Club and his role was obvious to anyone who met him. I admired him for the way he played his role at Casey. He showed maturity beyond his years and as LH has said "integrity plus" If he does get picked up by another Club he will play with as much heart as he did whilst at Melbourne. However if he doesn't get to another Club, I am sure that he will succeed in anything that he takes on. I hope that there will be some role for him at the Club at a later time.

Dazzle, I think we are arguing over semantics. He injured his wrist against Richmond and was given very limited time in the Dev. league because of his injury. None of this matters as like you unfortunately I too believe that Max maybe looking elsewhere in 2017. If however the Club do decide to keep him on, they obviously see something in him and I would trust them as they are far more experienced than you and I.

You do know that he has had a broken/chipped bone in the wrist and is tryng desperately to get back into the Seniors to play finals despite being on limited time in the Dev. team. None of this may have any bearing if he is rerookied next year but he wasn't dropped as you stated.

Coaches Award!!

Try the Club 1300 336 667. They may have some left.

Everyone who can should try and go this year as the room will go off if Maxy wins the Bluey. His speech will be "noteworthy".

Hawthorn are very good to taking everything to the limit. They constantly impede opposition players in a marking contest. On kick outs they go so close to the marking square. When opposition players on standing on the mark a Hawthorn player is always next to the opposition player who will then block to not allow the opposition player from challenging the kicker. I know all perfectly legal but just really on edge and generally just like their aggression - always on verge of thuggery but OK in terms of the laws of the game. We need to learn a few lessons if we are to become a force of the future.

There is a reason why in the NRL a spear tackle is illegal and reportable. Lets wait and see what action is taken against Cyril. I am not holding my breath waiting.

I dont believe that you can be too hard on players. It is more about how you go about It.

Bern - great effort despite his broken nose. You are forgiven for last week.

Hopefully they will stay together. Anyone hear the troll Hawthorn supporter purporting to be a Melbourne supporter who rang the radio station to say that Hawthorn were already into Petracca. They apparently have had talks with his management re coming over to Hawthorn once his initial contract finishes. I hate Hawthorn supporter expectations that they will just keep topping up on other teams good players and keep winning finals.

Given that Essendon is traditionally a difficult Club to deal with during Trade, a standoff with Goody is more than likely.

Just as I was getting a little bit more comfortable.

ALERT Jesse coming up on Chan 9 news

Thanks all those Demonlanders for coming down to training despite what was going to be a wet and blustery day. We made a nice amount of money which will go to the Demon Army to continue their great work - hopefully some more "heads". Great to see so many kids there. Yes Nev was swamped but not the last to leave - H was still doing laps. Very funny listening to Watts and Dawes sledge Petracca. Fantastic camaraderie

Just a reminder to you all to come and enjoy the cold weather with the boys at their training session before Queens Birthday. Warm up with a sausage and hot coffee. There will be plenty of selfie time for the kids to have with their favourite players. Training should start at 9.30am. Also a reminder that Yarra Park will be closed for all games over the long weekend.

Thank goodness. I was worried about the shark

If you go Sunday you could watch two games. Get there early and support Daisy and the girls.

St Kilda defence played rings around ours. They were chopping and changing so much that Jetta, Dunne and McD had no idea and completely lost contact - result one of the smallest players on the field left to defend against one of the tallest. Really frustrating to watch but so obvious that I wondered why wasnt the runner out. St Kilda must have been licking their lips - easy pickings.

Armchair or 3 game for Uncle Fester

Am I wrong but didn't Bernie get a little nudge

Having players knocking doors down to get into the team is a first for a while as well. We are able to manage young players better because of this.

If you were italian, Petrahcca is definitely correct. The "a" is the same as casa or allora and the emphasis is on the cc. Just saying. Isn't it wonderful what two wins does to Demonland. What a pleasant place it is at the moment.
