1- Moloney .

Involved in everything ; chiselled , tanned ,and IMO, the fittest at the club .

2- Davey .

Fit , strong , enthusiastic ; a leader .

3- McLean .

Exactly the same as Davey.

4- The indigenous gang .

So many x factors .

5- Rivers.

Happy , healthy , strong.

6- Casey Fields .

An oasis in a desert - literally and metaphysically .

Sounds as though Casey fields is a great spot to train, having a good surface must be a welcome change from the rock hard grounds we had previously been training on.

Rivers is the one I am the keenest to hear news on. Is he tipped to be ready for round 1?

Its also nice to know we are closer to the start of the season than the end of last year.

How's Sylvia?

Rivers appeared to do everything at full pace , and was involved in all manouvres whilst I was at training .

Sylvia looked primed , fit , and strong , and was probably unlucky not to appear on my 6 highlights list .

Well you notice I didn't conclude the spelling on ' excited ' , for fear of appearing to be over the top .

Thanks Joe. Great to get these snippets up here in Canberra .... and what's wrong with getting excited at this time of year, especially after the couple of years we've had!

Do you think our pre season small injuries might disappear abit with the excellent surface at Casey?

It should help us to be settled and belong somewhere.

Now on to the NAB cup for a couple of wins, no crap this year of peaking too early. Our peak last year was pretty low.

Wins mean confidence both on and off the field. Young players thrive on wins and it breeds more.

remember Aussie last year after his breakthrough game, great stuff.

OOPS off the topic, will be at Casey next Monday for training.

WHOA!

As if that's right. Joeboy, you just lost all credibility on these forums posting garbage like that.

The Melbourne Demons, training at a stable and quality venue, on a regular schedule, for weeks on end?

HA!

I suppose next you'll be saying that our January membership figure is higher than Carlton or Richmond's...

Just thought I'd throw that in.

Lets keep things in perspective, i do enjoy all the training news so keep it coming guys. But lets remember, Participating in training drills is great, but we need these players to go a full season without breaking down so they have a long long way to go. And pre season bolters, well i remember Meesen was talked up last year as one of the most impressive pre season trainers, but we all know how he performed! ha

However things are looking positive, fingers crossed it can continue!

i was there too, and endorse everything that has been written. they did some sort of endurance exercise as well, in two groups,some sort of elimination arrangement and "nugget "outlasted everyone else, with" the master" coming in 2nd. brockie came off a few times for what appeared to be toilet breaks, and appeared to have some sort of monitor around his neck, or on his back, as i saw a girl adjust it for him and it wasnt just a jumper tag from where i was sitting.

i wouldnt get too carried away, but in my heart of hearts, i do think we will be a lot more competetive this year.

in relation to training times , i had difficulty locating them on the mfc website, so i googled casy fields.

no problems

I too went down to training with Dad and young nephew (hello to fellow demon folk who were there)

Was interested in Jurrah. He has a very good turn of speed, ramps it up very quickly.

Sylvia looks the goods though I saw him get out muscled by Miller in a goal square tussle which speaks volumes for Miller cos Sylvia is a very strong customer in that department

Watts went off midway to not return. Saw him afterward and it must have been a preventive thing due to the heat

Brock was in full voice and full flight. Looked good and sounded like a leader. During a kicking/leading drill he ripped into his team cos no one was leading

Lots of drills where moving into space and creating space were focused on, though I still think we'll need to improve on people leading in the forward line during a game because it was a problem last year and I've not seen anything yet that shows we've mastered that area, the players still seem reluctant to "own" that area of the game, Miller excluded

It would be better to peak early, than not to peak at all!

Bring on the hawks?

incidentally, is there a clause now where we have to play the reigning premiers in the NAB cup first up?

Yep, three times in five years now, we've started the pre-season comp against the reigning premiers.

Also, did anyone else notice that we play 8 games against the top 8 in the first eleven rounds.

The only non-finals teams we play are Richmond (9th, of course), plus West Coast at Subiaco and Port Adelaide at Aami.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
