When I went on a tour of the facilities Neita mentioned that at one stage a long-time-coming new machine was installed at the Junction Oval and that corner of the gym subsequently became known as the Lexus corner.

Obviously the players perceived themselves as the poor cousins of the pies, and rightly so.

They now have no excuses and can hold their head high as true professional athletes.

I gotta say, I think there'd also be an associated mental hurdle involved, just knowing that every other team has an advantage over you.

Thank heavens those days are gone.

edit: disclaimer - I did not mean to insinuate that the players were related to collingwood players or supporters.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Any chance we could ship Morton off to board with Greg Inglis for a month

Or at least get his diet in writing

Joel Hocking has full guard, but it's sloppy. Needs to control Cale's head so he doesn't posture up and start droppin bombs...

Awesome!

Joel should go for a high gaurd and just throw elbows from the bottom, that's what I would do B)

Nah Joel is just sucking him in so when Cale postures up for the ground and pound, he can just whip up a leg, trap the arm and secure the triangle choke Anderson Silva style... :):blink:

Doesn't have wrist control either , elbows and hammer fists should get the job done .

Cale might consider trapping the arm and moving to side mount to secure the Anaconda choke....otherwise, if he finds the ground and pund ineffective, he can always consider the kimora!

Cale would be better off letting him up so they can trade blows on their feet where he can use his reach to advantage.

He'd probably get taken down too easily though and his ground defense would be embarrassingly bad.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
