Training Today

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi Guys

I rolled along for a gander at training today and made the following observations;

- Boys were in high spirits with about 25-26 players doing some light ball work, before breaking into groups and doing specific stuff for their positions

- Of those who trained all had played last week (except Petterd & Martin) and PJ, Miller, Hughes, Jetta, Cheney, Mckenzie and Gysberts. Slyvia also did not train at all but was in attendance for the meeting

- No rehab group to speak. Petterd ran some laps lightly, however the rest were doing gym work inside i believe

- Cheney had a long chat with DB in the centre of the ground. About what not sure

- Gysberts looked very good, tall with nice hands

- Mckenzie trained and moved well

- Jetta looked okay, but a fraction proppy, him and Bennell did some kicking right in front of me and both have nice ball control and sharp skills

- Garland left the track with a blood nose from a knock, i assume he is fine

From the session I think PJ, Mckenzie, Hughes, Cheney and Gysberts are inclusions in the 25 man squad, id expect at least Petterd (obviously) and Martin to be omitted from the 22

Also will head down to Casey this weekend on will post my thoughts.

 

Did anyone attend Junction Oval today? Any reports?

My dad attended and said that he was sure the group that trained in the main session were likely to be the group under consideration for selection tonight. Gysberts and Miller were present as well as PJ however he did not sight Martin and said that Jurrah and Aussie didn't train with the main group however Jetta was.

He also took these photos... (bad quality camera phone sorry)

  • 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.

  • 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.
