Clicked on this morning hoping to find that we had spanked Collingwood but not a single post. So much for the women’s league attracting a whole new group of passionate supporters? Isn’t there a proud parent out there??

Any more comments on today’s training Saty. (You are the only post so far!)

I think that the player who will really make us pay this year is Jack Trengove, last year’s Casey Demons B&F. Our Casey team looks pretty formidable this year but would be enhanced further by retaining Jack on the Casey list (where we re-allocated Garland)!

I think that Goodwin will agree with most of what you suggest however Frost will spend time at Casey before O’Mac does!

My updates stop dead at Petracca. You must be on NBN! ?

Petty for mine (however I expect the whole list to lift judging from Goodwin’s training updates)!

In Goodwin’s words: Harley Balic Harley arrived at the club in the off-season from Fremantle. After settling in, he’s been outstanding at training. He won one of our training ‘player of the week’ awards, which is a credit to him and his development in the time that he’s been involved in our program. We’re really looking forward to seeing him play in 2018.

If they think Colin Sylvia will take them to the next level they must be coming from a long way back!?

Its a shame that we jettisoned our Casey Demons B&F this year. Trengrove (and Melbourne) would be the better if he backed up his 2017 Casey B&F next year and could hold aloft the 2018 Premiership Cup. Very unlikely he is going to obtain any massive plaudits at Port Adelaide.

Not sure whether we shouldn’t take the same approach that St Kilda took with Milne. If he is first 22, then keep him on the list, so that the Club itself is not punished for something that (allegedly) occurred outside of the Club’s season or control.

Actually I thought that the turn-out was dismal and less than half full (it was the lowest turnout that I have encountered)! In PJ’s polished presentation, he thanked AHG and iSelect for their support and there was no indication that AHG was bailing. Another break from tradition as I remember it is when those present don’t sing “A Grand Old Flag” at the conclusion of the meeting.

Although I am not sure how to create a link to the actual article, I notice that the AFL website has revealed their top-priced “fantasy “ players for the 2018 seasson. Neatly split into the top backmen, mids, forwards and rucks, it gives the high-priced elite players in each category. It lists ten backs, ten midfielders, eleven mids and seven rucks. There is only one Melbourne player in Michael Hibberd! There is no Lever, Oliver, Gawn, Jetta, Petracca, et al. Although I have never played the game, it seems that the Melbourne list could well produce quite a few surprises for the punters, who may well overlook us at their peril. Any comments from Demonlanders who play the game. http://www.afl.com.au/

My brother’s first wife was a Collingwood supporter and his daughter followed Collingwood and his son the Demons. Then Dermott Brererton joined Collingwood (who she hated) and she has been a Melbourne supporter ever since.

I would have preferred him to Best on ground in Casey’s 2018 Premiership!

My 92yo father came to the football with me, my daughter and my brother and saw a win just before he passed away. He had not renewed his membership because of his mobility problems however the Club still sent him a scarf. He died thinking we might be Premiering contenders this year.

Try Airbnb. You should be able to get $80-100/night close to the “G”!

Went onto the MFC website and checked out the player list to find out who No. 27 is. Liam Hulett apparently! ? (we must have delisted Balic already)

I think Jack Trengove was up there as well as a clubman! Not quite sure why the Club couldn’t have similarly created a role for him at the Casey Demons, particularly when he won their B&F this year? ?

The paper had North Melbourne recruiting a ruckman 76cm tall and weighing 201kg! Don’t believe everything you read! ?

Apart from Barry, they were top three no less.

Today’s Australian did a nice article on him! In fact it is interesting that they selected him to do a feature article on rather than any of the First Round draft picks! ?

Melksham, Salem, Tyson & ANB on the interchange.

With two street frontages we should get $10-15Million as a minimum. Astutely invested, it could either return a reasonable income stream or buy us a nice Clubhouse close to the “G”.

Tom proved this season that he is a better weapon in the forward line and we have got to refine Oscar and Sam in the key back roles during the pre-season so that they are cherry ripe Round 1. Lever (who you didn’t mention) will provide good assistance to Oscar and Sam! ?

Do we have a Rookie pic? I thought that it was only four pics in the main draft.?
