Got there today and probably the last time before the new year. I concentrated on the new faces in the team that were at training today. Merry Christmas to all and I hope to bring you more in the new year leading up to the season of renewal. Go Dees.

Sorry guys, couldn't paste the link in IE and had to type it freehand. Opened the site in Chrome and was able to paste the link. Bloody Bill Gates %%$$@.

Should all be sweet now.

Enjoy.

Nice! Thanks! Can't believe how many of them that I didn't recognise! Would be nice if they had their numbers on the front & back of their training shirts!

Things I took out of the photos..

  • Tyson has a good size rig on him! I reckon he will turn into a big bodied midielder like Hodge.
  • Watts is starting to look like a footballer. Good signs.
  • Toumpas and Matt Jones have buked up and both look set for big years.
  • Salem looks really focused. Hope he is training well. Need to put on a little bit of size but im not expecting big things from him next year. Ps he puts Garry Lyon to shame in the most hairiest department! Lucky he waxes his legs.
  • Cross and Vince will add hard matured bodies into our midfield. Good signs too come. Cross looks unbelievably fit!
  • Georgiou has a big frame on him already.
  • Harmes looks like he has a big body on him already? I thought I read he weighed in the 76 kg? by the looks of that he must be already in the 80s, has massive legs!
  • Spencer is a monster! He could seriously kill someone on the footy field with his frame.

Excuse my ignorance, but who is the blond kid getting all of the air time?

It is James Harmes. One of our new rookies.

Thanks... he seems to have a pretty impressive vertical leap.

Loved the pics and much appreciate the effort . I was, however, a bit disturbed at times at the likeness in some shots of recruit Georgiou to Jordan Gysberts .

I loved the quick fire shots of kicking actions. A very balanced Jack Watts with a copybook kicking action, until he gets to the follow through! What is it with so many modern footballers swinging their leg across the body in the follow through? It is a simple thing. 1. move straight toward target. 2. While in motion drop ball from one hand as close to foot as is practical. 3. Follow through with foot toward target. This really frustrates me. Someone go get Barry Hall - best kicking action ever

I am a developing a very quick man-crush on Cross. He looks so focused and intent all the time.

Every year I am reminded that I would hate to face Frawley for tackling practice. He seriously is a monster now.

Howe wrestling with Miller. Oh what is that, maybe they are teaching him how to use his body in marking contests which is a huge weakness of his. Surely not actual proper skills of the game training.

Can't believe you are seriously questioning Watts' kicking action. Who cares? He's by far the most consistent, accurate, pinpoint kick in our team.

Loving the photos mate, thanks so much.

On a side note: Has The Toump got some ink going on, on the back of his left tricep? Or maybe it's something else.

Georgiou looks like he might have eaten Gysberts...he's about twice his size.

Not too many skinny kids on our list anymore, based on those pictures; we're finally starting to look like a proper team.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
