    Tom Mcdonald 4th. I have really high hopes for TMc, in 10 years time i reckon he will be leading the list of "draft steals". 55 or something he went at?

    Two of the top four are in only their second year... hmm.

    They're flying ! I'm sure they miss Trengove.

    Just remember, performance on the footy field is what really matters.

    Exactly.

    I couldn't give a flying f*#k who wins the any of the running trials.

    Where was Morton? I thought the only thing he was good at was running?

    Heard he was in the second or third group of runners in the first session also. Why is that?

    The three leaders looked to have really shot away from the others, I would've expected the players to be a lot more bunched up. Some of them have a hell of a lot of work to do I'd have thought.

    Dave Misson is just what this club needs...You can tell he will demand respect and excellence. If he gets it those players will be successful.

    Well done to Cam Schwab, Jimma & whoever else was involved in getting him to the MFC...

    Not sure why you are surprised by Nicholson

    He is fast normally and he is a rookie who is into his second year on the rookie list.

    He will be looking to follow up his 2011 good showing with a better 2012.

    It is 2012 or never for this guy.

    Hope he makes it.

    Probably did not take a holiday wants to impress the new coaches straight up.

    Is Trengove's running ability up there with Jones? I'd be surprised if he made our top 5.

    While you are 100% right HT about onfield performance that matters, Neeld certainly threw the callenge out there this morning when he indicated what times they should be striving for. He obviously thinks that there is a benchmark that most of our players have to achieve, so offield performance is pretty important at the moment.

    You are effusive in your faint praise...

    Considering his sister is a complete running freak I'd be very surprised if he wasn't in our top 5, possible even #1.

    He kept up with Scully in the Beep Test and his endurance is up there billy.

    Yeah why not? I can remember he was very highly rated from an endurance point of view during the draft. Surely some of his older sister's running ability has also been passed to him. There was a huge gap between the top three from what I could see so I would bet he'd be top 5 at the very least. We shall find out when he gets back from the Gold Coast next week.

      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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
