I'm in town and going along to tomorrow's session.

Look forward to seeing the boys getting stuck into it.

 

Look forward to your report McQueen.

 

I'll be there, too


Will be interesting to see how much work the kids do this year compared to other years.

I don't think you can really compare that - the kids can only do to much (didn't Viney get an injury from doing to much last season?).

The kid probably lifts weights in his sleep.

I really think Viney is symbolic of us moving forward - I think all the youngsters will look up to him - see how hard and devoted he is and see that it translates into results.

The benchmark has been set - the Morton/Gysberts days are over.
 

Annoyed. This training was scheduled for Casey Fields only 15 mins from my place. Checked website this morning and it is now at Gosch's Paddock. Hope it goes well for those who can make it.

Training today is at the Paddock (9.30am) and its open to the public.

Hopefully, three new Demons out there for the first time and about to embark on long careers.

Phew, thank God it's open to the public. I thought it was going to be on Goschs and closed to the public.

I am disappointed as I could be free on Wednesday and Friday and both appear to be closed sessions.

How do they have a 'closed' session at a place like Gosch's ??

Nearly had a baby. Mitch came off the ground pointing at his foot. Lucky it was just his boot sole had detached.

As important as Mitch's foot is, I think you having a baby might have been the bigger news story.

Wanna pay for my new computer screen? Just spat my coffee all over it reading the first two sentences... :P

Please do not say [censored] like "Mitch pointing to his foot". My bloody heart just skipped a few beats

I think Nasher wants to run DL for a week without the 'Like' feature. It could be the cause of all the outages last week.

Just left and the boys were still going. Due to a considerable night with a certain Mountain Goat last night I will keep this short because it's hurting to concentrate this much.

Firstly, Clark looked great and participated in every drill I watched with the main group. Jumping, twisting and turning and kicking without trouble IMO.

I arrived pretty early and spent some time watching the new draftees who were involved in basic short kicking and handballing exercises. They all looked good but I was particularly impressed with JKH. His ball handling just looked classy and would be at home jagging goals out of nothing. Salem has a lovely kick on him.

Hogan has it all. Bring on next year!

Repeat 300m sprints were dominated by Tom Mc who was running them by himself but you could tell is was sigificantly faster and more steady than the others. At one stage, Jack Viney tried to take the [censored] out of Tom for a laugh and tom just did not see the funny side of it. Deadly serious young man is Tom.

Tyson hammy heavily strapped but running okay. Did not attempt to kick with that right leg though.

Roos observed a lot. Only got involved with the main group for the last few exercises but he does get very animated when in there. You can see the boys are loving him as coach already.

Overall I thought the skills were pretty sloppy but maybe I was expecting too much. Nicho was the main offender with lots dropping short or sailing over heads.

Happy to take questions.

 

Thanks for the report McQueen... great for us interstaters as you well know ;-) Were there any notable absentees? And, if he was there and training, how was Dawes looking?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
