I'm not looking forward to the first intra-club match. Caro will be nut-deep up us if there's too much experimenting going on...

The image of Caro "nut deep" is both disturbing and puzzling on so many levels. Thanks for the afternoon laugh!

    Don't be puzzled, be unsure like me. The jury is out...

    Bail looks to have filled out a bit more. Pedro is effing solid. Good get.

    Nicholson is a unit. The guy is about to explode out of his skin.

    And we're away . . . .

    Look out if there's a group of players at 3/4 time revving each other up wanting to win.

    HT, do you mean revving as in revolting?

    It's looking like its the best first day of training they have ever had.

    No.

    The "I'm sick of losing, let's win this game, rah, rah, rah...c'mon!" Like players of several sides in the AFL say at 3/4 time, time to time, year-to-year.

    In fact, all players playing the game do...

    edit:

    PS. But I was being sarcastic. And I could see how it could be interpreted as revolting by Caro. :)

    Unless it's a group of players wearing red and blue playing at Geelong.

    Other than that, as you were...

    He looked (Trenners) a bit finer in the legs, it may have been an optical illusion but during the season he looked so heavy in the legs. I think he will be one that really steps up next season.

    Yes, he's definitely fined down in the legs, which you'd think is to get some zip back.

    Yet it was my first thought when looking "live" at training ...

    With a face like yours BH maybe it wasn't Trenners legs thinning down you noticed, but something else, hardening up?

    Entirely plausible.

    Is it just me, or in that photo of McDonald kicking the ball does it look like he is being trained to drop the ball lower? I know it's only a photo but he looks like he is working on his kicking action under the watch of Neeld.

    Noticed Watts smiling in that footage. Not impressed. I want to see nothing but glum faces during training.

    I forgot about that, how MFC players are not allowed to laugh on camera.

    Shame on Watts.

    Smiling at training!!! more fodder for Caro's next piece.

    Sylvia is grinning too, must have gotten away with something.

  • Quote

    It looks like a few of them are actually a bit smaller. Jones doesn't look as huge. And look at Grimes' and McKenzie's legs... Twigs!

    What does it say about my opinion of our coach that I read that as "the Wrath of Neeld."

    A couple of things I noticed.

    • Spencer, Gawn and Fitz all look very big in relation to the others (this may be because they are). But seriously, Fitz looks a lot more imposing than he used to. Spencer is massive too
    • I watched Hogan doing handball drills with Fitz, Clark and a couple of others. The boy has some skills with his hands. Very sure, naturally coordinated. At one stage he was kicking the ball up to himself soccer ball style. He looked at home.
    • Grimes and Jones very prominent in his encouragement etc.
    • Dunny and Watts were training were working with the backs. (as promised)
    • Trengove looked sharp
    • Blease looked fit
    • Sylvia was sharp
    • Strauss was doing a lot of kicking out in defensive clearance drills

    • 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.
