Feeling absolutley spoilt with the quality of postings in this training thread. Thanks to everyone who's gone to the effort of conveying the session in such detail, including the photos - it really does give one a clear picture of the teams progress.

Bring on Round 1!

my stand-out today was Matt Jones. Like Taggert, he's tall, quick, balanced and a beautiful kick. At 25 he's ready to go. Where Magner dropped marks and butchered a number of kicks Jones' skills shone. I understand that supporters will be skeptical about a guy that was playing at Box Hill and overlooked by Hawthorn and everyone else over the years, but I can only comment on what I see and he looks a real find.

Gee, a Hawthorn reject: maybe we have another Brett Lovett in the team!

Is it just a trick of the lens, or has Watts really bulked up over the off season? In the pic on the previous page of this thread, he certainly looks like he won't be pushed off the ball so easily this season.

Lucky to catch the match simulation, it was full on no holding back. The Howe Garland contests were great to watch. Most has been covered, just like to add, Viney is a hunter, he just wants to win the footy, he think he has no chance or beaten then bang he gets the footy or lays a monster tackle. He will be a gun and with Mr silk Toumpas running with him makes me a little excited

Just wanted to add that it was great to see Swooper Northey chatting to Todd Viney and Darren Flanigan when I got there. Northey had the same red and blue striped tie as Todd, so I wonder if there was some sort of breakfast that he'd attended.

Arthur Wilkinsons funeral was held today at 11 so I'd assume they were attending that.

He has looked really switched on and hasn't skipped a beat. Col had a great duel with Howie in the match simulation stuff today. They were pretty competitive, those two lads, and really wanted to get the better of each other. Col will be important for us this year.

Terrific report guys. Really appreciate when stuck at work. How was Judy Garland travelling on the track?

what time does training usually finish and where do people park to go along?

Training normally finishes between 11 and 11.30. You can park at Anderson Street Hill or MCG.

I don't know WJ, given the choice between being surrounded by fire or the Casey locals I'd have to give it some thought.

Bit of a generalization huh .... Careful with that ... I'm 10 minutes from Casey. Would you like to take an intellectual challenge with me..... Who know I most likely contribute more to the club a year than yourself.

Casey facility is class....

Excuse my ignorance but who's the young bloke in white with 4th footy from the right?

I watched training on Monday and he did a couple nice things putting blokes into space during the match sim I thought.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
