Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Is there a session on today? If so i cannot find the time as i was planning on heading down to have a look.

Cheers

Summary of Training:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just got here.

They've split into 3 groups and all doing what looks like ground balls/touch work.

JKH looking clean on both sides of the body as is Gus.

Groups swap to the next cones now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dom is in the group in front of me and he just looks like a dejected man..

In saying that his skills look very slick as is young Flippa!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Now doing some what looks like 80% run throughs.

Hunt in the footy boots doing what looks like 400m timed sprints.

Joel Smith is on the other side of the ground getting worked over by the rehab crew. Seems to be moving well.

Group has split into full ground drill now.

Maxy, Flip and King doing ruckwork with Stafford.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Skills has started off a bit sloppy.. Salem, Vanders, Tmac missing kicks. Fritz and just oozes serious class with his kicking skills.

As i type this i must say there's been a bit too many sloppy kicks for my liking.. hopefully it improves as the session goes by.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Bit overcast and bit breezy mate but nothing threatening at all.

Jeez poor JKH does a lot of hard running and spread for minimal reward.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Group has now split into 5 small group just doing extra touch and groud ball.

Vanders is a seriously big unit! Id love to know his actualheight because hes definitely alot taller then Wagner whos listed at 189cm tall.

Btw no Billy Stretch here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Group has now split into 2 big groups with one closest to me doing 4 point kicking which then finishes in the middle group who kicks up to full forward. Clarry is one of those leading forwards along Smith and Tom McDonald.

Lewis, Spargo, Gawn hardly missing targets.

Dom, JKH, Pedi and Baker also kicking well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Groups have split into forwards, backs and Mids.

Some interesting ovbservation here. Fritsch is with the mids playing a sweeping role off a hslf back qlong with gus and Baker. Interestingly Lewis is also with the mids doing stoppage work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Austin Bradtke is also here doing some work with an assistant coach. Bloody tall kid!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The session has finished but the guys who played at Casey are doing some boundary line run throughs. Though Kent and Vanders are doing goal kicking practice with some forward while Goody stands on the mark and watches on.

Jones just doing extra touch with Ben Matthews.

 

MOD EDIT: @dazzledavey36 is answering questions throughout the thread.

How is Joel Smith moving?

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
