Was there again, will be posting pics on my Twitter Demonpk, including Garlo photo bombing my picture of Jeff Garlett.

Quick rundown warmup, run, kick, box, run, handball, grapple, kick, run, handball, box, run, kick, run.

Asked Dom Tyson about the work he seems to be doing with the harness, his finger injury stops him from joining in the boxing drills, so is working on his explosive speed away from stoppages when the others are boxing.

The whole group bar Nev Jetta was out today, Nev is about to become a father for the second time, got a phone call at the club this morning ... interestingly Tapscott was a no show again.

Rehab group as such, Gawn, Spencer, Terlich and Vince, joined by Bail and JKH (who has his knee strapped).

Toumpas put Nathan Jones to the sword when they were running (sprinting) in one of the drills, spoke to him afterwards, is in a really good place finally.

The new boys were all there, HL, Garlett, Newton (who is slightly bigger than Michie, so quite a size for a midfielder) and Billy Stretch, his Mum and Dad (who I believe played a bit) were there as well.

Another gruelling session that went for over 3 hours, Shannon Byrnes is his new role as coach was in attendance as well.

I hope the above is a taste of things to come.

Thanks DI.

I could say she was quite the player but that would earn me a rebuke, a rebuff and a ban.

Thanks for the report saty.

Interesting to read the bit about Toumpas. From memory he was looking the goods last pre-season too, even snagged a bag in the intra-club match, but then was out of the side by round 3 after a couple of so-so performances.

Would love to see him make a good fist of it next year. Probably more so than any other player. A great kid who has been unfairly maligned so early in his career.

Who the hell is that training with Jones in that gallery?

Those are some huge shoulders.

I wanna say Viney but I don't think he's that big.

Is he?

thought the same thing...yikes...they're guns !!!

Lots of complaints from supporters about toilets and carparking last year.

Hows that working out and what changes have been made??

Thanks for the report Saty, much appreciated. I am a little surprised that the Toump was having troubles (off field), can you elaborate? I really rate this kid and would love him kick on.

They all look ripped at this time of year (except bernie!) because they have been doing a lot of weights. Once they start running, a lot start dropping off weight and can't keep it on.

The guy is now essentially into his second pre season so now is when we should hope to see some real progress.

Devil inside - thanks for the report for those of us who can't get there

What is the reference to Dom and the harness? Is it one of those thingos they drag in rugby training?

Where was that stated? Saty mentioned Toumpas had gastro issues... but as far as I'm aware,that's not a euphemism for anything else (or did I miss something?).

I Wasn't implying anything, just curious that he hadn't been in a "good place". For all I know he could be referencing Gastro, thus my enquiry.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
