    I was at training today and Neeld & Todd Viney joined in the clearance/ stoppages drill. They were getting stuck into a few of the younger guys. Gysberts got hit with some big hits from Viney while Neeld was getting stuck into him off the ball.

    Jeez that would be an awkward situation. Get the rough stuff going, yet can't go as hard as you'd like, otherwise you just might be on the outer with those 2 coaches, lol.

    Not all players were out on the track and those that were there were all doing different drills & tasks. What I really enjoyed was seeing all the coaches getting in and working with the different groups...like the photo above shows. And from the sidelines you can hear Neeld as well.

    Aaron was focussed on short sprints on his own for the whole session. The rehab guys were doing different lap running drills...well that's what Ricky said when I laughed with him about being overtaken by Grimes!

    LJ is back strolling, jogging laps....dare I say, taking it easy.He's about the only player I can say that for!

    Yes I agree what is going on with Col. If he was fit to play in the IR series and now not training what the [censored] is going on?

    My guess is (based on nothing other than his absence) that he has been banned from training with the player group a la Steve Johnson, Stokes, etc.

    Just not publicly stated because it creates an unnecessary media spotlight.

    Part of his punishment - prove that he wants to play AFL enough to train on his own.

    Probably not though.

    I've not been to training so don't know if he has been running in the rehab group or not.

    I went to training 3 times during the last pre-season. On every occasion Col was in the modified training group. I don't know if he has injuries that require on-going management, although i admit it's odd he was available for the IR series.

    I believe when he was drafted his weakness was his endurance. The funny thing is - he looks really fit. He's 'cut' and he never seems out of shape.

    Maybe he prefers working out with those Zumba dance videos to burning his legs and lungs on the running track.

    According to the article in the Hun today (at the bottom) Sylvia must complete his responsible drinking course before being allowed to return to the main group.

    Just saw that too. That clarifies things. Let's hope he has a great pre-season.

    Ya noticed that as well. How long ago was the incident? How often do they run those courses?

    I wondered if this was the case.

    I don't like it. He copped the fine and the suspension.

    If he's able to go full tilt and get flogged on the track and have his best pre-season ever, surely that would benefit everyone?

    Love these training updates guys.....thanks.

    Just an off thought. What's with the new balance singlet and shorts but Nike Shoes?

    Players can have their own boots sponsors, so they would provide runners too.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
