Training - Friday 6th January, 2012

Sorry everyone, I assumed (incorrectly) that open training sessions are ok to post information about, including videos. Damian Hardwick was even there at once stage to check out this session!

But I understand that if we can help it, we shouldn't be posting videos online for others to see, to make it easier to check out what our boys are doing!

Yeah trenners... thanks for going to the trouble. Interesting that you caught the moment when Davis clipped Howe. I'm hoping Number 38 is on the paddock in the morning. He is set for a breakout that will see him rated highly across the comp.

I'm with you WW. I've been wrong more often than I care to remember but this bloke seems to me to have so much talent. I think potentially he could be Barry Prendergasts best value for money pick and could be one of our most important players going forward.

Trenners, please take it down, from here and Youtube. The club DOES NOT want video posted as it is used by opposition sides.

Holy s**t you kidding me.

It's an open training session arguably every single club can go down with a camera and record each and every thing for themselves.

This is by far the most ridiculous thing I've seen on Demonland. Trenners thank you for going to all that work, I (and according to some 16 other teams) all really enjoyed it :lol:

I agree totally.

Anyway, handballing out of a stoppage and kicking ot a leading forward is hardly groundbreaking strategy that would be revealed from that video. Most would know that Watts, Clarke and Howe will be our marking fwds.

Thanks for all your work Trenners.

Cheers for that T9 some great pics in there.

Re footage - every training session I have attended in the past with a camera I was told no video.

Perhaps it's a little harder these days with increased numbers attending and the open nature of GP to get that message out on the day.

Edit: Not that the two days from your OP (w/ video mentioned) to the video post wasn't sufficient time for a 'please don't'.

It is surprising to me that the club has not asked for some of the more brilliant insights and ideas of posters to be removed so others don't benefit...

I think he and Bail will be competing for the "best value for money pick" title. I'm very excited to see what 2012 has in store for Howe.

I was sitting near some West Coast supporters at the Etihad match last year, and they kept asking - 'who is no. 38?'.

It wasn't just the speccy marks; it was all the other little things he does on the ground - the tap-ons to someone in a better position, or getting a finger to the ball so it doesn't go out on the full.

He's also had a very full pre-season. Fingers crossed.

Agreed . It hardly a D-Day secret . Howe is a natural .If we can get the ball down quickly we really have some marking and kicking power at "Dunkirk" .

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
