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!

It's been deleted. Cheers

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.

I say put the video back up. If other teams start copying us it might bring them down to our level.

Lol, funny post. Not sure why? Probably cause its true

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" .

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
