Great, so we can regard Clark's signing as a true swap for Scully.

There were 3 running groups doing 400metre runs. They did about a dozen or so. From what I remember (and I may be missing names if someone wants to help fill in gaps) they were: Jones, Bail, Watts, B

I'll be there and I'm pumped to see how Mitch Clark goes and if Sylvia is away from the main group, if he's there at all! Should be good to see what they do, I'd imagine mostly skills rather than running, put on some sort of a show for the fans. Also i got the text too and they said goodies, I wonder?

Tweet from the club:

"Pre-season training starts tomorrow. Boys will be on the track around 9:45am @ Gosch's Paddock. Plenty of hard work ahead."

Your reports are most welcome and we will also try to put up a training summary on our articles board incorporating some of the best passages from the training reports.

Also, don't expect our IR trio of Brad Green ©, James Frawley and Jack Trengove to feature at this week's training. Chippa just tweeted that he's arrived on the Gold Coast.

My enthusiasm for the coming season is almost as strong as the disappointment of the last

I need to pay the bills so I wait with a dry mouth any reports, I thank you in advance those that get to training and report,

but I was keen for this stuff last year, how well did that go...

I can remember some Geelong supporter friends feeling simillar a few years ago,

Now wouldn't that be nice, Hang on and enjoy the ride, the Good and notso,

Go Dees Give 'em HELL !!!

While Full Metal Jacket is great. I hope that we don't go down that path.

Come round 1 I would much prefer the boys to be good at football rather than cleaning guns and marching while singing.

This is my football.

 

There are many others like it, but this one is mine.

My football is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my football is useless. Without my football, I am useless.

I must kick my football true.

 

I must kick straighter than my enemy who is trying to beat me.

I must defeat him before he defeats me. I will.

Before Stynes, I swear this creed: My football and myself are defenders of my Club.

We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my team.

So be it, until there is no Enemy, but Victory.

 

Go Dees.

Look forward to reading the training reports, and being unrealistically bullish for 2012.

<insert players name> looks huge! Must have packed on 5kg of muscle in the past 4 weeks!

Thought the same thing.

Expect reports that certain players are "training the house down"

I hope many, many MFC players are "training the house down!!".

I also hope "<insert players name>" is Cale Morton and he has put on 5kgs in the last month, he sure needs to!

Even if reports are a touch exaggerated, I am more than happy to have any positive training stories put up on this forum. Its been a big off season for the club, but all in all it comes down to the players doing the work and improving. My fingers are crossed that this pre season is the one that starts a big upswing for the club.

Any photos from anyone down there today would be super!

Great. We need more muscle in the middle.

All be it in 12 months time with regards to Jack..Again developing muscle is an ongoing thing..some seem to have developed a little more.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
