I really like the look of the muscle development on Stretch

For a new draftee and young kid he looks like he has already put in some worthwhile preparation.

Fantastic work from all posters thanks very much for the comments and the pics.

    How many differences can you find between these two photos? I'll start. 3+ pairs of developed quads

    I see two with strong legs, the other three need development.

    Jeezus! Morton's arms look like twigs in that photo. Is he missing some forearm bones? Now surely THAT has been photoshopped...

    Ignore the Petracca vision, think this was Roos showing them what is ahead, I was surprised when they joined in the repeat running drill, a very harsh introduction, but will do them the world of good, only one not suffering was Billy Stretch who is 2 weeks ahead

    I like that he was struggling as long as he was battling though it, shows he was actually putting in and not cruising though.

    And carrying 10-15kgs less than his counterparts...

    I wonder if they'll want Petracca to trim down, currently at 92kg and in some cases that will be an advantage and in others a disadvantage.

    Do you want me to ask?

    Billy Stretch looks really good with the running because he was a gun junior athlete as well, same as Alex NB who supposedly has a really good tank already.

    I know we are getting it right, asked Dean Kent how he was travelling and standing next to him he is bigger and more developed than last year, which he confirmed, just a bit peeved about the quad strain

    Give the new blokes a few weeks to settle in before starting to bother them at training maybe?

    "Reckon you need to drop a few kegs? Not saying you're fat, just you might be more comfortable. Ya reckon?"

    I am not sure why?, Alex NB and Oscar Mc were happily chatting to a few on the first morning, including myself, and having photos taken, as long as you leave it until they have finished the session nobody has a problem, they are encouraged to interact, I even got a breezy "good morning and how are you going" from Chris Dawes...much to my amazement...they are not precious or on a pedestal...as long as you treat them with respect......

    Hopefully we can get a third round draft pick for him next trade period.

    Deserves 90 games before a decision should be made.

    But yes his thighs are to big.needs meditation sessions from the coaches wife.

    Love your training reports Saty, but I cringe when I hear about you talking to the players. It's real fan boy stuff. Oh well, I guess all clubs have crusty groupies.

    Gee your generous 9 should do it before we fling him.

    As long as you don't go up to CP and quote verbatim Mr Mooses post and follow up with "care to comment" ?

    McCartin wasn't on the news struggling, or De Goey. This is [censored], we are so cursed.

    Oh for God sake take a deep breath it is the first day of pre season training for the recruits.

    Start worrying in July when he is out of breath playing at Casey.

    Until make yourself a coffee and relax.

    Probably not a regular reader of my posts, OD, and I wouldn't blame you, but I was not being serious.

    DA is rarely serious, OD. One of the most entertaining posters on Land imo.

    We couldn't have ever got McCartin but.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
