Was at training to-day, flew down from FNQ to watch all the new recruits. Please accept my apologies if I miss anything. Support Staff arrived about 1015 and set up the ground. Trainers, water boys

Some other good news at training was Mitch Clark jogging some slow laps. He got a big cheer from all the boys as he ran passed them.

There were a tonne of people at training, (including Todd V, Harrington, Mahoney, Connolly, Schwab, etc.) so I'm sure there'll be more reports. I'll leave it to others this week. It was a long session. I got there at 9.50am, which was exactly the same time as the players came out, and left at 12.20pm and they were still training.

I have to say I like the look of Kent. He has the big arse that Malthouse loves, strong legs and is a very nice left foot kick. Although the newbies were restricted to light work and spending time with Neil Craig.

And I loved Viney's stoppage work in the man-on-man match simulation drills.

A work colleague of mine who also a WAFL Colts umpire goes to the same gym as Kent does here in WA. Said he was flogging himself in there the (Friday) night after being drafted rather than celebrating.

Says he's a real hard worker.

Sounds like he was very excited. Jon Dorotich was from WA too.

I'd probably do the same if the Dee's picked me up.

I will choose my verbs more carefully next time.

It wasn't Jack Fitzpatrick?

It was definitely Jack Hannath. I asked one of the coaching staff at training.

As opposed to Jake Spencer or Stef Martin this guy is an ACTUAL footballer, not a 'basketballer' or 'tall guy'.

Looks very hungry.

Looks a rather solid lad doesnt he -_-

Might be a capable rookie. Seems all the way around the club is adding players who could and would be nipping at others heels should any falter or not come on.

Aught to be a lot of very 'keen' players in 2013 :) Not a bad thing in my books.

I have mentioned somewhere else that we are playing the percentages when it comes to recruiting choosing well rounded types.

All have a degree of athleticism, strength and skill and they all look and act like footballers.

i.e. no glaring weaknesses,

Flash will retire at the end of next season.

I'll make a prediction.

Flash will put in some hard yards and might even squirm his way onto the bench a few times.

He will show cameos of brilliance lest we forget he was THE ONE who effectively started the defensive forward thing in the reincarnation of the game (as we now know it).

Then it'll be about ... ooooh ... round 14-15. Flash will fail to come up after a niggling reignition of his knee. After talks with the club and a visit to the personnel department to sign off on a change in role at the club he will announce his retirement from AFL playing effective immediately.

Some well deserving rookie gets promoted for the ros and life goes on.

This is said not to denigrate the bloke as hes been a great player in the main, cruelled in the end by injuries. Just calling it as i see it (in the tea leaves lol).

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
