Yay! McNamara's in the squad.

I'm totally baffled as to why he hasn't played either of the past 2 games.

Dunn too.

Good to have aussie back in there.

Looks like we are going in 6 - 8 short of the A team. I'm getting the feeling that the pieces are coming together nicely for a Round One tilt at the Hawks. Plus continuing to get game time into and knowledge of Gysberts, McKenzie, Maric, Cheney, McNamara, Bail, Strauss and Fitzpatrick. Jeeez I'm looking forward to the real stuff starting...

Nowhere near as enthusiastic about Dunn as I am about McNamara. And Aussie, for that matter.

Those bolded are those who you would think would be certain to play Round 1 (if fit). So that's a pretty sizeable missing list from our 'Best 22'.

Rapt to have Aussie back. Just rapt. Also pleased to see how little Tommy Mac goes - he is very young still and I wonder if he's going to be one of those blokes that just slowly develops. No idea how he'll go, but best of luck to him.

Aussie, my only request is that you come through without injury. I don't care if you have donuts. All I want is game time and being injury-free.

I'd doubt very much that Watts will play Round !. I like seeing McNamara and Strauss playing. If McNamara makes it It allows us the freedom to play Garland forward. And Strauss was pick 18 in the Superdraft so I'm expecting quite a bit from him. He needs to stay fit and on the field.

Any team adding Bate, Bruce, Davey, Moloney and Sylvia for round 1 is going to be better off.

If he's fit, and I mean 100% fit, I think he will play.

Agree with all this. I see a real future for McNamara, and he should be playing much more regularly than he currently is. And anyone with Strauss' footskills is a walk-up start into a Melbourne side. Fitness and experience are what he needs most.

Very happy with the changes (except for Morton...)

Hopefully Watts, Bate, Garland, Bruce and Blease can get a run in the last practice match, although I have no idea how close they are to being ready.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
