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.

OK. The melbournefc.com.au site has this vision of the lads training yesterday in the wet conditions at Gosch's Paddock - Pre-season training footage.

Safe to assume nobody observing and taking notes would have been able to read them after that downpour - and that's assuming there were any bona fide spectators there at all.

Easing? Don't you mean they were flying?

Tearing up the track, feeling great, having the best preseason ever... take your pick.

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....

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.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
