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...

Frontrunners: Jones, Bail, Nicholson.

First one no surprise, second not really either, third is a bit though.

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.

not having a go at you, but my sister was a nympho and it didn't help me at all :wacko:

Are you serious Harcourt?

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

Are you serious Harcourt?

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
