Hi all, this is my first post but been reading Demonland for years.

I went to training at the Junction Oval this morning.

A quick summary for you all:

Garland trained the entire session and did not seem hindered by his knee injury from last week.

Tapscott, Gawn & Jurrah were completing a number of 100m 3/4 pace & sprints for about 15 minutes while the rest of the group were inside for a team meeting. These 3 then proceeded to kick with each other for 10 minutes. Tapscott & Gawn also spent some time kicking for goals & then off for a bike ride.

Coaches spent some time with Gawn on his kicking style.

Jurrah joined in with the main group for the rest of training. He looked fit to me.

All emergencies joined in for training, as per usual.

Simple short skills session that lasted about 45 minutes. Handballing drills, bit of kick to kick, end to end drills and some goal kicking.

    Plenty of talk & generally clean ball handling seeing the ball was a bit slippery.

    Overall the boys seemed to be switched on to me. Hope it follows on into the game over the weekend.

    Kyle looked ok to me. Nothing really to report, other than he is a tank!!!

    Frawley did leave early but he seemed ok, maybe just precautionary (hoepefully).

    Great work SARS....love these updates!!

    It was mentioned yesterday that Scully may not be in the side this week - to put any fears to bed did he train fully?

    Fingers crossed for Chip that all is well.....he has half a hand on an All-Australian jumper IMO.

    Scully trained the entire session and moved well.

    There was nothing in his training today that would suggest he wont play.

    Fears safely tucked away...bring on the blues.

    Cheers again Sars

    Magnificent to hear that Liam is looking maybe closer to return than expected.

    Will be very interested to see Gawn and Tapscott when they get into action.

    Thanks for the report - always appreciated.

    Any news on Fitzpatrick ???? Does anyone know much about him other than he is very tall and athletic?

    Bailey said he and Trengove trained really strongly and are itching to get out there...

    :D

    It's ridiculous how much we already rely on them.

    Fitzpatrick is selected in Casey 2s. Think I might have a look before the main game

    Mono,

    I have seen Jack F a couple of times at Casey. He moves quite well for a big fellow but is still not confident to get into the thick of things.

    It is too early to make any judgements but he is certainly the right body type for a mobile ruckman.

    I think he's the one who's going to take longest to get going out of this year's crop. He's very thin still and has had his development slowed by CFS. I don't think we'll see him in the senior team this year. Maybe next for the experience, but I wouldn't stress if not.

    We know what Jurrah can bring to the table

    Taps as a forward could be good and Gawn we need to be good - both could be keys in deficient areas

    Taps also seems to have ripping foot skills

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
