Photos from training - 30th January, 2012


Hellish Inferno

Recommended Posts

Has Beamer lost bulk? Or has everyone else gone up a step? In the first photo he doesn't stand out the way he used to.

I think its the combination of the two he has definately gotten trimmed down but i think he looks fitter and yeah we actually look like a decent sized football team now!

I posted this last week, Moloney was to top heavy last year and he looks like a to me that he has addressed this. There is a big difference between muscle mass and strength. Just because you have big arms doesn't mean you are strong. It is all about power to weight ratio, some blokes cant put on weight but it doesn't mean they are not getting stronger.

he holds a fair few of the weight lifting records at the club doesnt he? (remember him telling tappy not to get any stronger during a bumps and bruises epp). I'd presume that means he wasnt all bulk and no strength?

I believe Magner would be challenging all records in that regard.

In general, the team appears to be in great shape.

Beamer is interviewed at around 6:10. He mentions that he wants to get leaner in order to cover more ground.

So I don't think he would have been too surprised that he had to lose some bulk.

Magner is massive. Can he kick or is he an in and under handball type?

In his words, "I like the nitty-gritty".

That said, what I've seen on highlights reel is pretty good from a skills perspective, including kicking. I hope he does well.

I was there Monday and yes they all look bigger, So much so that I had heaps of trouble picking some players names

maybe I need better glasses, Some obvious that I recognised easily, the better known players but all the same

its not easy, Some names on those photos, which are great, would help !!

Go Dees give 'em HELL !!!

And if we can improve or maintain his records at a reduced weight therefor increasing his power to weight ratio he will be better for this.

williams looks massive and ready to go...can't believe how much competition there is for big men in our forward line. what a difference 12months makes.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
