Thought I would start a thread early for tomorrow's training but please also feel free to report on yesterday's training which missed its own dedicated thread due to our server issues.

Anyone go?

Considering dropping in tomorrow for a quick look, but yesterday it rained all bloody day.

    It looked like most of the senior players were back, easing in to it - Jamar, Jones N, Garland

    Until the following year's pre-season when it becomes - "could never get a run at it, had an interrupted pre season and never really got going, had series of niggles that made it hard to get the base down, it made realize the importance of having an uninterrupted pre season, was always playing ctach up, a frustrating period etc etc" (see comments from any number of players, most recently Trenners presser

    I've read the reports one question has Luke Tapscott ever been out of the rehab group prior to Christmas. Every year I read that Tappy is in the rehab group.

    Yes it seems to never end for him. I wonder how much that has hampered his development.

    He has to start getting more of the ball or he will be delisted.

    Agree, hate to see him go because he has something but he isn't a small crumbing forward, he plays more as a small leading forward he hasn't been able to push into the midfield, which these days is a massive requirement for small forwards, if he can't do that the only option is to take him down back again.

    Be interesting if he is mentioned in todays training reports

    Was 'running' around the tan this morning and saw Frawley and Dunn doing some 20m sprints up Amderson St hill... At least I thought it was Dunn (didn't have the mo)

    Moving very quickly between a few bus loads of tourists.

    Gonna be interesting to see what becomes of Lynden Dunn under Roos

    Doubt anyone here has him close to our best 22 but i reckon ROos has a few surprises up his sleeve for us all

    I certainly have him in our best 22. Of course i can see his limitations but i reckon he is our most underrated player (if Demonland is a reliable gauge).

    Of course he is in our best 22. When was the last time he was dropped? Has played 117 games since his debut in 2006.

    The fact that he is in our best 22 explains why we have been so poor since 2006....

    Well yes, that might be true.

    I'll say this:

    For a bloke that it seemed a lot of people wanted traded, due to their paranoia he would bolt at the first opportunity, as he hasn't yet signed a contract extension... it's good to see James Frawley showing the commitment of attending preseason training well before he is required to, when others with the same requirements, but with far more that they need to prove, having not yet attended.

    Gotta love the bloke, and I'd say anyone who claims his declarations of love for the club in recent times are a smokescreen, are clearly poor judges of character.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
