And another bit, just waiting for a meeting to start....how exciting........they had a burst of practicing taking quick kick outs after a behind, both attacking and defending.....so assume they are trying to make the bomb towards the wing the last resort

Also the drill for the other half of the squad whilst the above was happening was tap outs and getting the ball and a buffeting and it wasn't just the midfielders so assume it was grabbing the ball in general play as well.......there seems to be a lot of emphasis on body to body

Just a note on Jones, Tapscott and Byrnes, made point of watching them, they moved to the old oval, they were doing repeat sprints, agility work, one drill involved one of them running from one point to another and marking a kick from the other two .......none of the three seemed to be restricted at all.....so not even sure why they were separate

Just back from the track. There were basically 3 groups today. The main group of about 27 (excellent numbers for the first official week of training) included Strauss, Grimes, Pederson, Taggart, Jet

From the photos on the MFC website Tapscott looks more refined and less if a man-child.

His change in shape is quite noticeable, I think he could be a bolter this season.

With an increase in stamina/endurance, and, a clean bill of health, watch out.

I salivate at the prospect of Tapscott, Viney and Wines (touch wood....literally) either coming off the square or starting in the guts.

DD, can you please tell me what they are saying? I feel like a person who sells love for money when I look at other teams forums.

The gist of the Gys:

"the Dees got him for pick 11 courtesy of Brock to carlton. Great deal and now we got him for pick xx ...what a steal....once he fills out he'll match arm size with that of Daw...I can't wait...couple of pre-seasons is all it will take...grimaces as if he's putting in every time...like Judd-like and all that jazz...."

The tan is a running track around the Botanical Gardens. Running track for public and whoever else chooses to use it.

Very popular running spot.

Has quite an incline on one side.Not sure how long McQueen But it is used by The Dees, Pies, and Richmond on a regular basis.

Hope that helps.

Arms the size of Daw's? Laughable

Grimacing because he's so unfit it's an effort for him to

I run the Tan quite regularly (when not injured as I am currently).

The tan is 3.8kms and has a steep incline of about 800m up Andersons St, it also has a lot of little inclines and declines around the track that really test the muscles. The only enjoyable part about it is that there's a slight decent for about 800m of the last 1km which means you can really get up a good speed to sprint across the line.

There is something to enjoy about running around the Tan?

Apart from the usual array of fit ladies?

Of course there are also those.

On another note, for those wondering how Gysberts is looking you'll be very unsurprised.

Nth have got photo's of their training on their club site. Bottom one on the page is Gysberts looking very familiar:

Were they drunk or was it that muppet on BF 'daw of preejectulation' or whatever his name is. I go on there every so often to see whats occurring, it takes me two minutes before I have had a gutful of the place.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
