Just heard it from BB himself that the boys are progressing well in the fitness stakes. He reckons that in his part time role he has much more 'hands on work' (less impromptu meetings to attend) and that he has achieved 5 weeks progress in just two weeks. Very encouraging indeed.

    they're not, by any chance, "scorching the track" or "training the house down?" or even "fitter than ever"?

    they are "rearing to go" and positively "chomping at the bit"

    Better watch out for that, we might be peaking for September form in mid January

    The players are involved in running technique sessions with fitness guru Bohdan Babijczuk, weights three times a week, running on Tuesday and Thursday, and ball skills everyday.

    It should be twice a day

    i hope by ball skills, they are doing appropriate stripping back kicking and handballing actions with video analysis etc, and not simply drills that involve kicking. because we were terrible last year, there is no readon why players like bruce and jones should strugle with their kicking. even miller has shown he can do it, now they should be showing him why he can sometimes, but not others...

    they involved biomechanics experts last season that did just that...

    didn't show much.

    I wouldn't listen to anything Bohden The Butcher has to say. How he is still at the club is beyond me.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
