Those were exactly my thoughts. He looks huge, and not in a good way.

He is a big unit now. Wonder if weight = confidence = ability. He would be hard to push aside in a marking contest. Looks like he has a bit of a pot to run off as well. This has to be his last year at the club if he doesn't improve.

HAHAHA

Newton looks like he's done a massive preseason at KFC... the boy has swallowed a bean bag!

What is going on in his head?!

fitzpatrick still looks 3 years off an afl game, looks like he would be snapped in half by a defender, ruckman, or a mid fielder..

... or a light breeze.

But as for Newton and Morton, both need some trimming at the moment, but if anything thats a positive. Both have been in need of extra kilos for years. More than likely they have been advised to load up on protein ready to be converted into muscle over preseason.

God-damn Newton. I want him to succeed so much, just to shut you flogs up, but how can I defend a guy who looks like that? Nice computer, though.

I don't think anyone here wants to see him fail, but we are all realists.

Don't think the missing ingredient in his career thus far has been donuts... except for maybe the ones he's been getting on the field.

Leave Newton alone! How the hell was he supposed to know he was still going to be on the list?!

Seriously though, I can't believe I was arguing with posters about the guy's application...

He doesn't do enough, and this PS is his last chance.

Not a great start.

With the tune from He's A Rebel by Crystals:

"He's a Newton and he'll never ever be any good,

He's a Newton 'cause he never ever does what he should".

But just because he doesn't do what everybody else does,

That's no reason why I can't give him all my love (and good luck to him)."

Fitzpatrick looks rather skinny.

pretty sure they were started in groups. you wouldnt start them all together and if you look at the photos they are roughly in groups by position. i wouldnt read too much into say bate running at the back or anything like that. do you really think jamar would be 1/2 a step behind him after 2kms?

Positive signs for the club. All the young blokes in Scully,Trengove,Grimes,Bail Watts,Gysberts, Morton, Blease, Petterd, Wonaeamirri, Fitzpatrick, Jetta, Maric, Martin, Garland and McNamara are all participating so thats good for the development of these players as they have much time to prepare if they stay injury free, while we still have some of our more mature players participating aswell in Jamar,Moloney,Sylvia,Dunn,Jones,Rivers,Warnock,Bartram,Macdonald,Bate and Newton. I am digging the new training tops and shorts.

I am absolutely pummped for 2011! I hope we can snare John Anthony aswell!

Thanks mate. I thought I may need an account or something.

A good sight to see there. Wonna. He's looking trim & fittish.

Impressed with look of Maric, Not suprised to see Bate bringing up the rear. If anyone says Wona is looking fit please look closer.

Did I miss something?

Newton does look a bit like that from the photos, but he also looks like he's bulked up with some muscle as well. So if he's going to be fit by the end of preseason its probably better he came back strong with some padding than thin.

The team certainly looks a bit of a weird bunch, we certainly can't be accused of being crowbots.

Exactly, if the club wants him to play a role where he'll pinch hit thru the ruck & as a tall forward, then the quickest way to put on some mass as a quick fix would be just to eat lots & hopefully put on muscle in the Gym, at the same time.

But his endurance will need some work as well, but if he's to rotate between ruck/forward, & the bench, his endurance may well be managed through the bench.

PS: I was hoping when I heard that he could be kept on the rookie list,,, that he'd put on some quick weight. He'll need it to shove back.

looks like Garland at the back of photo 10. love to see him get a full pre-season.

No sign of Tapscott or Gawn.

Interesting how some say 'gee xxxx has bulked up' even though they have just commenced training.

Yes, it reveals naivete.

The only thing that would happen in October is one of two things: players get lazy and unfit or they maintain some sort of conditioning(ie. they went for the periodic run).

That's it.

agree it can be misread but i think it is usually meant over a season long kinda thing?

and thats not soo true about october i have a few mates who play afl, and they work themselves quite hard over october so they dont lose anything, or get in a position where they could cause themself an injury during preseason

Trengove quads are huge looks a lot bigger that scully at this point, cant wait to see Trenners ripping through the centre passing off to Sylvia sticking down the throat of Watts who now looks like a man rather than a man child. (whoever told him to get the haircut was inspired his self image will be much better now).

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
