Training Tomorrow

Recommended Posts


Thanks DW. In addition to the other requests, I'm really keen to know how Sef. Martin is shaping up. Havn't heard very much about him this year, and based on his promising debut season, I'm really excited about his prospects.

A word on how the rucks are going, especially in any kind of contesting situations, would be nice.

Reported on Demonology that Jamar was wearing a moon boot. Our ruck stocks being as thin as they are can ill afford either Jamar or PJ to be missing games.

On that, How is PJ looking for the oncoming season? Didn't he have hip surgery at the end of last season?

I ran into Sylvia and his manager (Tom Pretoro, he's an old friend) in the CBD last week. Col looked simply awesome, fittest looking person I've seen in the flesh for a long time.

When Syl wandered off mid-conversation to put something down, Tom whispered to me that he is due for a massive season. It could be because he's up for contract at the end of the year and Tom is wanting to talk up his street value. But he did mention that he's off the grog, eating right and has been extra sessions to condition his body right.

Look out boys 2009 and could well be remembered as the year of the Svelt Sylvia!

Indeed, name a player who's flying on the track or having their best season for years and dollars-to-donuts it'll be the the player who is out of contract at the year's end. Gotta love one year contracts.

I swear this was being talked up this time last year.

Our rucks are average, I say stick an extra mid in their, sod the ruck, better a good mid than a dud ruck, PJ is ok, donoughts I'm still not convinced about.

Why make a weak point weaker? An extra mid will not mean anything if the opposition gets a clean and uncontested tap at the ball to a waiting player. Our midfield quality is sorely tested and bumping up quantity does not solve the problem.

Too true! Its very unlikely to hear that a team is "taking it easy" over the pre-season.

Official Press Conference from head coach:

"Yeah, our boys have been hard it watching the Cricket & Tennis and have been on teh golf course at least 3 times a week. Our ruckman has a bad bout of intergestion but I reckon he'll be right by round 1".

Haha :lol:

The Febey's were notorious for this...

I remember this quote from an apparently famous american NFL coach, I can't remember his name but it went something like this...

"Give me a team full of guys in their last year of their contracts and I'll give you a champion team"

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
