Is this the training or the scarf thread?

Its the heat they have all gone troppo.

Meanwhile in Kakadu.....

Just occurred to me that if you are going to have a closed session where else would be better than an army barracks surrounded by the best security the country could supply.

Like to see opposition scouts get some info on this one.

Darwin, that'd be where someone waltzed onto a Navy boat and stole weapons right....

I guess it's not foolproof, but maybe a bit more secure than Gosch's.

Davey said Melbourne’s pre-season was the toughest he had been involved with at the club.

“Last year was pretty solid and it’s gone up a notch this year,” he said.

“It’s been tough … but the guys are a lot fitter and stronger.”

This is amazing to read. This really explains why we have been so putrid for so many years!!!!!.

This really says what we have been saying for many years

 

Beeing based in WA i never really saw the point of them, but I flew over to watch the Dee's / Hawks game last year and sitting in the olympic stand with the wind howling and a massive chill factor i found a new respect for the humble scarf.

I wear a couple of them on really cold days.


God i hate scarves....between the 3 melbourne supporters in our house we have 30 scarves...no joke...a free one every year for the last 10 years.

I wish they would offer an alternative such as a tie or a flag.

I agreed with you until last season, when during a fit of rage at our performance, I lose my member scarf.

I then had to wear an old one, and felt like a dirty scumbag, fearing people are judging me for not renewing my membership since 2010.

Just hope they stopped being such tightarses and made them a bit longer this year (it would add no more than 10c to the cost to knit 5cm extra). They are too short to wrap around, and wearing them flat is just stupid.

Would love to know how our team stacked up against the army guys on some of the obstacle courses, are we par, above or below a commando squad? Wouldn't think we're at SAS level yet

I think they are aiming for the English Football style scarves which are about the same length and used more as a banner than a scarf.

Beware of the KOD jnr!

Davey almost said it first.....


Hmmm one picture of a sign saying no swimming due to crocodiles, and another of all the boys swimming.

I hope it was in a different pond! No way in hell I'd swim ANYWHERE in Kakadu.

The crocodiles saw a sign saying no swimming due to jack viney so the boys should be safe.

Havent seen many reports on how the boys went on their Kakadu trek?

Weve been getting great reports everyday on the club website but still nothing from yesterday.

I too lost my scarf this year in a newly established end of season ritual...

Hi Guys & Girls,

As a life long dees fan who lives abroad, I've only just stumbled across this wonderful website. I've spent some time reading a few of the topics and thought this might be a good thread to start on.

I think the club is doing a great job at keeping everyone informed and it's good to see they have moved with the times and are using the whole social media thing to engage with the supporters. Years gone by there has been the odd update on the website and the occasional article in the online papers, but nothing like I'm seeing now. It's fantasic and I don't feel like I'm missing out on as much now.

So I look forward to more updates, and thank all the people on here in advance for the all training reports and the odd bit of banter!

P.S I don't think the wife will be too impressed with me finding this site, the computer might be getting a little more attention from now on.....

Welcome.

And yes, you will waste a lot of time here...

But is it a waste of time if you are talking about the Demons with other Demons?

Yes, yes it is.

And a warm welcome to you.

The club certainly has been really good with this trip. Other off-season reporting has been great also.

It's usually during the home and away season that the internal media drops off for one reason or another...

If anyone wants some further information or pictures from the trip and they have a twitter account, I suggest you follow Burgo or Jones, Mitch Clark and Magner are also keen tweeters.

Cheers

That tank looked small next to Max !!!! Lol

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
