I am going down there again tomorrow, any questions you would like answered if I can get them, any stupidity will get the disdain it deserves, I already asked Jason Taylor who we are going to take at 3 (he was there on Wednesday), for some reason he wouldn't tell me

Or any pics, though you will need to go to Twitter for them

    Always love the Hogan pics if you can provide, Saty. Especially the ones with other blokes in to show the difference in size.

    Urr, hope those photos aren't being used for nefarious purposes.

    Depends on your definition of "nefarious"...

    Biffen seems to be Demonlands expert on all things nefarious. Perhaps he can help us out

    *Waits for BBO to come comment as this no doubt will have set off the text-alert he has for 'Biffen'*

    Can you ask Chip if he's staying?

    I second this

    And can you ask Jason Taylor who we are taking with pick 3

    Noticed on the AFL site that Bontempelli has put on 7kg of muscle over the break and is moving very well at WB training.

    Is there anyone on our list who has put on considerable size over the last 8 wks and is looking better for it? Toump, Salem, TMac?

    Cheers.

    No early appointments for me today and so I turned up to training first hour. The first hour was a tough fitness session with all players sweating it out. Endurance running and sprint routines were the measure of the morning. I was very impressed with the size, speed and endurance of The Hulk. Hogan kept pace with McDonald in the 5 minute run and then passed him in the last 20 seconds. This is very impressive for a big bloke who missed a whole year of endurance running against arguably our fittest, endurance player. I was also impressed with the size of Frost. This guy is a Man Mountain. I hope he can play because he sure has the physic. When I left players were changing into footy boots, no doubt other will be able to give a more interesting account.

    I have tried to upload some photos. Having some issues. Would appreciate the heads up on how to do this.

    Lumumba is back! From Club website:

    HERITIER Lumumba has started training with his new club – a few days earlier than expected.

    The 2010 Collingwood premiership player was set to start with Melbourne on Monday, but fronted up for Friday’s training session at Gosch’s Paddock.

    Lumumba looked sharp as he joined in with his new teammates.

    The 199-gamer crossed from Collingwood during the October trade period.

    The 2010 All-Australian finished fourth in Collingwood’s best and fairest in 2014.

    Lumumba looms an integral part of Melbourne’s prospects next year and in the coming seasons.

    Fab pics of players training today: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-11-14/exclusive-lumumbas-first-training-run

    The shoulder injury (naturally) seems to have caused Bernie some muscle loss but all the players look in good nick!

    McDonald looks to have put on some size.

    not so interested in size - has anyone put on any skill over the break ?

    Beach muscles are everything in modern footy.

    Yep, you need them to get to brownlow night and more importantly to get the girl to take to Brownlow night

    I went again, quick run down, warmup, kick, run, handball, kick, run, mark, kick, handball, run.....the skills are on the improve

    Going to put some photos on my Twitter, Demonpk, including Hogan

    Mr Lumumba was there, looks super fit, had a chat to him, lovely guy

    Bernie Vince acknowledged the shoulder was a bit light, no contact till January for him

    First time seen McKenzie and Jetta, both looking really fit although McKenzie has had the gastro that has been floating around the club

    Had a good chat to Nev, he has been working out at a boxing gym three days a week over the break, and on his running, disappointed that Dom Barry chose to leave, had a chat with him whilst Dom was deciding what to do, said Dom was coachable, a professional trainer etc etc, contrary to some of the rubbish on here

    Had a chat to Howie, posted in the Leaving topic

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
