If you consider that Watts finished with Rodan in the time trail, and it sounds like they weren't near the back, I would say that he has made ground.

Blease running with Bail is fantastic news. Buildling up a strong endurance base takes more than one year so we should be expecting him to be at the front. Also, some guys are just natural runners (like Tom Mac) so we don't need to have everyone finishing together. Someone always has to be near the back. The important thing is whether those who were near the back are now quicker then they were.

If the whole group is quicker and ahead of their times from last year then all is good. The fact that there were 10 pb's and many more at the required level or just below is much better than last year. After the first run last year Misson and Neeld made it very clear that our fitness was well below par. By the time the NAB come starts I would expect us to be well placed to be able to run out games next season.

I kept hearing about how many fitness testes were failed last summer (if indeed this was true), I will be very interested to find out at the end of pre-season what our overall improvement is but signs are promising.

Video with Jade rawlings, i tuned out a bit and just watched the boys train ect, Sellar looks fitter imo, Spencer is a big unit, well defined imo, everyone looks good but hard to tell much apart form that from what i saw.

Says we are fitter than last year ect, not a shock to the system this time for the guys who were here last year, everyone is enthusiastic to train now compared to last year.

If anything it reinforces how far back we were last year compared to what was required.

edit - glad and this is the first insight i have had but the watt bike session looked good, very vocal form Misson which i havnt seen before, Royal in there laughing about how hard it is ect but im glad its this full on

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
