We play how we train as do Geelong,Hawthorn and Sydney.

Didnt know you could make trades mid-season in the AFL

Boys were training the house down. Cale Morton stopped by and said that the standards were way better than he was used to at West Coast, and that he'll be requesting a trade back to the Dees in October in the hope that he'll be able to crack the top 15 runners at the club. Rohan Bail hit every single target laces out; Gillies looked agile, quick and made great decisions; Sellar was nailing every shot from about 60m out against the breeze.

Then I woke up.


Anyone with some real info?

I know we are all suffering at the moment, but It would be great to hear observations from reality occasionally..

The reality is no matter how we look at training Hawthorn are going to [censored] us by a epic margin.

Always liked the way Peter Giles went about it. Amazing comeback really.

For mine, if we can get within 6-7 goals as the final margin, that would be a positive step from the Freo game. Reality, says to me that we are likely to get beaten by about 70-80 points.


I don't understand why we've been playing so poorly because we've been great at training.

We haven't been playing poorly. Casey is right in the hunt.

Hi guys just to prove I am actually insane I went along this morning.

Had a good conversation with another on looker.

We concluded we have a poor list but neither one of us need to go today to work that out.

To be honest not a lot to report, a normal training session.

T Mac took part in the session and I would be surprised if he is not selected.

Sylvia run / walked the boundary, not sure why as he has not played for two weeks and could hardly be injured.

Perhaps as he won' t play this week he was not doing match simulation.

J Mac looked in good nick I hope he plays.

I did not see Neeld , others ran the session.

It was a little wet and slippery and guess what

Guys like Dawes and Jones seem to be able to handle the ball and mark first grab but Fitzpatrick and others of his ilk dropped marks and slid about.

Unfortunately we have way too many of the later and no were enough of the former.

From my past visits they always look good on the track it is on the weekend the rot sets in.

Ha. Brilliant comedy. Less than 20 goals is a win for mine.

Boys looked sharp on tne track, should lose by under a hundred this week.

Thanks OD... frankly, these attempts to cut down Neeld in almost every thread on these forums is to say the least, getting very very tiresome.

As an interstate member, it is always nice to get some insight as to how players are pulling up and and bit of a guide to individual players skills.

On a side note, Neeld stated in today's presser that they will wait to see how McDonald pulls up before making a decision and that Fitzpatrick will definitely being playing and playing forward. He also said they will make a few changes this week and that there are 4 or 5 guys at Casey who have been consistently good.

It just shows how well we have been training. We have now reached a good VFL standard.

Went and had a look, Joel MacDonald & Watts were training with forwards which surprised me.

Boys were in really good spirits, ball was moving ok.

Kent & McKenzie both looked good to me, M.Jones also.


There seems to be a lot of sessions that Neeld doesn't run. Does this happen at other clubs as well? I've never seen a training session of any club so wondering if its a normal thing.

yes its normal

have a good day

The thing to remember about training is they are competing with players of their own ability.

We have what may be the worst list in the competition, they look good today.

But come the weekend we match up to players who on average are a lot better.

Guess what we look good on the training track but crap against other sides.

One I forgot to mention

Bail he looked just as crappy on the track today as match day.

If he plays this week I will admit we have a crap FD

Agree 100 percent re the tiresome nature of incessant Neeld bagging.........sack him for whom? Another guy to kick when he is down?

I just hope that if Fitzy gets a game, he gets three or four regardless of how he goes: given the anticipated weather this weekend I doubt if he will be taking a lot of big grabs, but he doesn't need just one or two games then get dropped. In fact any of the promotees from Casey should get a few to see how they get up to pace.

Maybe he's preparing his powerpoint presentation for the meeting on Monday.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
