Sorry to hear about your foot Jane. Old age stopped my running career but I have found a great substitute in cycling( leisurely pace of course). Give it a go if you already haven't done so. Go Demons!!

I take spin classes Bobby but would never cycle here in Melbourne. The roads are crazy where I live. Perth must be a more cycle friendly place than Melbourne despite all of our bike lanes!

Great effort by Jess - a true Demon spirit effort - let's hope it inspires the footy club AND the supporters to finish off the season in a spirited fashion.

If anyone is interested, she has a website, including some interesting blogging. Not a huge site or a whole pile of content, but a bit of insight into the exceptionally disciplined and focused person she is.

Don't worry about her acceleration, or injury. When Jess gets drafted she will switch her training program to develop the required strengths, and she has already shown she can manage injury through one of the most grueling training programs there can be,particularly when it comes to coping with niggles.

Can't remember what sport she was in before switching to marathon, triathlon maybe? Like Nathan Jones, and with the same work ethic and consciousness of improvement.

Take a small positive out of a cr@ppy injury, at least he was able to see his sis bring home the bronze live. Fantastic effort from her, sounds like she's continually improving so congratulations to her.

(Oh and Jack should've given her a Dees flag to fly as well!)

Sounds like he is preparing for a " tour de pants".

Some riders are good up the hills- and some like a fast decline.

I'm good at crevassing.

I've heard the cobblestones can give you a real knee trembling.

I imagine you waiting at the rear of the pack- ready to come from behind.

I picture you in Lycra now- I'm scarred for life.

Was rapt to hear the news this morning and happy that Jack was there to share it ( although would prefer he was fit and still playing for us).

I am in total awe of all marathon runners. I've been trying to improve my running since the start of the year and my pace per km over 5 km is still about half as slow as the pace they hold for 42 km. If I was to run alongside them, I reckon I could manage that pace for maybe 200 metres. They are all simply amazing.

I only need a sniff.

The vending machines in Tokyo might be your best bet.

You'd struggle to get near Jess with your health issues.

It's time you trawled the bingo halls and CWA scone teas for some action like poor old DC.

    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.

    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.
