I wasn't there but was hoping for a run down

I was there for about half hour. Not a great deal to report. I noticed Grimes on the sidelines doing hand ball drills, obviously pulled up sore from the weekend. Not a great deal happens at the junction oval, they arent out on the ground for long.

One thing I did enjoy seeing was Trengove and Scully putting the boxing gear on and doing this boxing drill where they had to spa with each other. The whistle was blown to stop and Trenners gave Scully a cheap shot to the guts. You probably had to be there but It was a funny moment and great to see them arm in arm laughing about it.

This afternoon when I saw that Grimes wasn't named in the squad I had a sneaking suspicion that he might be injured rather than being rested. Now having heard that he was doing handball drills on the sidelines I am even more suspicious. I hope I'm just being paranoid. Was that a piece of sky falling?

I'm sure he's fine, he wasn't limping or anything noticeable. Looked to be In great spirits laughing etc. If you ask me he's pulled up sore and having a rest for a week.

That's probably what it is but you can't blame a dees supporter for being paranoid and jumping at shadows.


Training today (Friday) was a buzz. Jimmy was out In the middle of the Junction Oval with Bails keeping a close eye on the boys. The talk was loud and the intensity was high. Looking forward to tomorrow. I noticed Jack Watts did the hole session today. Grimes, Rivers, Tapscott, Morton were all watching from the sidelines.

I just had my hemmies operated on (would not wish it on anyone!!) - does that mean I have done a hole session too??

Haha I was thinking the same thing. And i don't even want to know what a "hole session" is.

Grimes, Riverswere all watching from the sidelines.

That makes me feel physically ill! unsure.gifdemon_sad.gif

As opposed to "whole" session... that's what kryton was on about :)

That can't be good.

:D :D :D

You've got to stop this kind of talk, people around here are working themselves into a frenzy!

He said Hemmies, not hammies. Work it out (because he probably can't).

Bad Hemmies are not Good at al!!! :) :)


I have to stop using the wrong hole :unsure:

There you go; and its time I put my bum behind me.

Conscious or put under?

A local analseptic is probably another option

But when in doubt seek a professionsal opinion

Eliminate bum steers :)

ha ha, ouch, analseptic, is that like an analgesic, or just analytic psychoanalysis.

Dont see many 'hemmies' on the road these days.

I may just need to get out more.

Either way . a VALIANT effort. ;)

Was Joel MacDonald training? A little confused as to why he's missing 2 matches in a row.

Not a good sign for Rivers. He knows a thing or 2 about the 'sidelines'.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
