I got there at the beginning and stayed till stumps Before the hand wringing starts, Clark was fine, he took part in the kick to kick, he was doing work to instructions, at the end of the 300 metre

Mitch looked good doing a lot of jogging at moderate pace

Pedo not much trimmer

Toumpas also looked sharp

Let me know how to post photos and I will

I doubt it comes into it. Public holidays don't mean anything in the world of footy any other time of year, I can't believe they would even notice that one.

It is only a public holiday in Melbourne, not Geelong or any other states. It might not even be one in Casey, we could just train them there!

The players have been enjoying a public holiday every Queens Birthday the last few years, they clearly didnt turn up to work!

Just back from training. Started about 9.30 with warmups.

Was an injured group who mostly did handball and light running at half pace, short distances.Tthey were;

Hogan
Viney
Tapscott
michie (I think)

Tyson

Not at training;
Jamar
N jones
Garland
Frawley
Vince
Watts

Dawes

After kick to kick the main group broke into three groups of four or five and did about ten 300 m run throughs at top pace. It gave a very good indication of their condition early in pre season. Here are the groups with an overall score out of ten. Roos personally timed each run through and seemed to be discussing every detail with Misson

Howe 8
Grime 8
Nicho 8
Trengove 8

McDonald 8
Toumpas 8
Clisby 3
m jones 3

Spence 8
Maxy. 5
Fitzy 7
Terlich 6


Clark not fit and only did light laps. Does not look at all fit.

Issues of note:

Trengove and Toumpas look significantly fitter than last year.
Spencer is we ahead of Gawn on current fitness. Max has a lot to make up.

Thanks Dees. Just a quick question, is that your score for them out of 10 or is it an official beep score kinda thing?

Also, that is reeeeeeally worrying about Clark/ Didn't expect him to be doing much, but hope it's not as bad as what you saw.

^^^^ lol

Boys, it is from this point forward that they improve their fitness.

No-one has a 'big October' on the track.

It's usually a big October AT the track.

Updates on fitness levels on THE FIRST DAY of Pre Season will not produce much insight into 2014.

Who's asking for fitness levels or expecting a "big October"?

All I asked was if his "scores" were made up or were official ratings, and was concerned by how bad he made Clark sound.

Feel free to just avoid this thread if you're one of those who likes to constantly say "it's only October", or "the real stuff is miles away", some of us like to hear about what's happening.

I was at the Royal Derby in Fitzroy yesterday and Spencer, Frawley and Rawlings as well as Petterd were all there. Spencer didn't drink too much, but Frawley had quite a few beers. Frawley said pre season didn't start for a few weeks when I asked him.

It will be his own rating out of 10 as to where their current fitness levels are at.

Clark has been doing laps since he was given the all clear. It'll be quite a while before he will get any form of fitness level back up again. Though last I heard he is coming along well.

Yeah I'd heard Mitch was making gradual progress, hence the concern at how bad Dees made it sound.

Pre-season doesn't start for a few weeks for players who have been playing more than 4 years (I think). Part of the new EBA.

Was a decent session. Kicking wasn't under pressure but seemed sharp.

Was mostly running, and the boys were encouraging eachother well.

Good to see Grimes very vocal.

Clark was running.

Roos seemed to be delegating a lot to Jade Rawlings.

Clark looked really ginger at times, but I don't know how he's expected to look compared to other elite athletes when he has barely run for 18 months. He did plenty of laps and did them okay.

That sounds better. That was more like what I was expecting... Cheers.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
