Recommended Posts

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.

Training at the paddock 11/12/13 ===> http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/35305440_2z5fjX#!i=2962357893&k=VSRZGCw&lb=1&s=A

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
