Good to see Cale Morton has snuck back into the club under the guise of "Bernie Vince".

Bernie doesn't live with Mitch Clark does he?

As always, thanks for the photos 666! Neat to see O-Mac give you a thumbs up.

Billy Stretch's body shape and posture gives me the impression that he will be one seriously powerful player in years to come.

Have our good players been rewarded with Nike runners? It's the off season there isn't much else to ask.

I reckon he was a steal. His coach also said he's a really hard trainer, and you can see that although he's struggling a bit with the long runs right now, he's already added definition to his shoulders and arms in a short period of time. He showed great development this year in the SAFL, and his run and agility will break games open in a few years time. If he develops properly under the new coaching staff, he'll be an Isaac Smith/Brad Hill for us. Really excited by Billy!

Yeah I noticed that, Stretch is in good shape, can see the definition. Actually has more definition than some of our senior players.

Some other avid draft expert who I can't remember nominated him as the most professionally minded of this years draftees. That is very encouraging to me as he will drive the coaches crazy, driving his own steep development curve.

Both Stretch and Neal-Bullen have played senior footy in Adelaide and look far more likely to be ready for round one. Petracca and Brayshaw are just puppies straight out of the TAC Cup. If I was a betting man I'd wager that neither will be in our round 1 team and both will play the majority of the season at Casey.

Hey 666, I'd like to use one of those images for a new avatar but it's saying you've restricted the rights on it. Is that just for commercial stuff or should I not use it?

Yeh go ahead. The protection on my Smugmug site is to protect my none football photos. How do you get the copy, screenshot?

Yeah, easiest way since I don't know java and I don't need a high res original for an avatar :)

Gonna play with some headshots now...

Edit: Hmm, not enough neck. Gonna try again.

Edit 2: There we go.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
