Training - Wednesday 26th November, 2014


The Devil Inside

Recommended Posts

As I said most of they players I asked think the Saints will go with McCartin, nobody there from recruiting to ask unfortunately, most agree it doesn't really matter anyway as the top 3 are all good so it is a win/win no matter which way it falls

Roos has as good as confirmed on the radio (3AW) this evening that we will be drafting Brayshaw and Petracca tomorrow. He made this claim on the basis that the interviewers were adamant that McCartin would be picked by St. Kilda. A decent midfield at last? Now all we need is to focus on another tall that might slip through to pick 40!

Oh good two more 18 yr olds for Demonland to regard as saviours unless of course they don't get 30+possies, kick 3 goals lay 6 tackles and look exceedingly good on camera in their post first senior game interview, unless Roos considers them ready in April, doubt we will see them except at Casey

As for the Tapscott question, the way it was answered, think he is gone,.....but who knows if there is nothing left in the rookie draft

If you promise to give them some breathing space and let them acclimatise to the club and their new surroundings for at least a couple of weeks, before you begin your usual oldest fanboy in the world routine and pester them from the boundary at training, then we promise not to judge them in their first few weeks of football..

Sorry sweet dee I am not giving up that right for anything.

It is just that it is more open now, I can ask the players or Dave Misson and get an answer, in the past it would be a mystery injury or illness, Misson said nothing is serious and it is November, only one who is 'serious' is Trengove, Spencer is a big, big unit so if he reported a bit of back soreness the alarm bells would ring, he was fine today. Harmes was absolutely gutted he got glandular put him back a few weeks, really impressed me that he said twice that he was going to work over the Xmas break to catch up

Hay Satyr (sorry, I can't get used to your new name), I respect what you are saying and that you are reporting on what Harmes is saying...but I have a question about the statement "he was going to work over the Xmas break to catch up". Do we believe all the other footballers (our team and all the others) won't be doing any training or fitness work over the Xmas break? So what does he mean? Is he going to go into the clubrooms to train during that time? If so, does that fit in with the players CBA?

Re: CBA - players get a couple of weeks off over the Christmas break, most (if not all) do some form of fitness training recommended by club staff. It'd be a similar situation to the younger players resuming training earlier than they should have this year, the players association got involved but nothing came of it because the players made the decision, they weren't told they had to do it.

So am i, so I will make sure I get pictures of the new recruits and put them on my Twitter account for all who want to see

before you begin your usual oldest fanboy in the world routine and pester them from the boundary at training....congratulations as well, that snide comment got you onto my list of posters I don't read

He was [censored] off he got glandular, felt he made real progress last season, coaching staff agreed, hence his second year, put him right back at the beginning of pre season again, hoping to get the weight back on in next week or two and have a program set he can follow over the Xmas break and catch up

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
