Thought I would venture down to junction this morning to have a look at the boys train.

Hadn't realised it was a closed session however so I was asked to leave about 30 mins in.

Here is what I saw for any interested:

* Blease and Bail both doing 100-200 meter run through's. (was good to see blease running strongly)

* Jones was doing a bit of an agility test and then did some kicking and marking. Looked to be moving well.

* Tapscott and Gawn were doing interval sort of training around the ground. Jogging and then sprinting etc.

The main group then came out.

* Jurrah was with them which excited me. Looked to be bouncing around.

* Sylvia was running fine.

I was then asked to leave by one of the staff. Definitely should have looked at the open session times on the site.

Anyway. Thought I would share it. Good to see those injured guys out there training and looking sharp.

Can't wait for Monday.

Go Dee's

Thanks alot for that stevetheman!

On the point on Blease and Bail....were they sprint run throughs? Or about 70% pace or so? If they were sprints, how did Blease's pace look compared to Bail?

Great to see Jones looked to be getting through what you would assume is a fitness test and that Sylvia didnt seem hindered at all. And great news about Jurrah. Cant wait for some Jurrahtime!

No they weren't flat out sprints.

Maybe around 70 %.

They had been doing them before I arrived and Blease finished before Bail but it was good to see him running well at that

pace after what has been said on here. He then went and did some stationary drills with a few other players like Newton and Meeson.

Good to see Sylvia running but again it's only training. Not sure if he will play on Monday.

Jones looked the goods from what I could see. That is the guess of an onlooker though so I am not saying he is a certainty by

any means !

great thanks !

blease is brilliant news. someone sadi here other day they had a feeling blease was finished, won't make it. go figure.

Although I am also pleased with the news that Blease seems to be up and about, I think a lot of people have seen too many sporting careers being tragically cut short after the player badly damaged/broke their leg or ankle.

I would prefer to err on the side of caution as well, I have spoken to him a couple of times and the Club is being ultra ultra cautious, hence with him disappearing off the rader at various times people have assumed the worse.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
