If anyone has instagram go have a look at Jack Trengove recent pick of his leg out of the cask.

I feel we will be lucky to see him pull on the jumper for 2015.

Is it just me or does anyone think that in 10 months time, Trengove either retires or requests a trade? The poor bugger needs a change of scenary I reckon.

I was down there for an hour. Talked to Salem about what moisturising cream he uses, told me it's Palmolive and he let me rub some on his arm. Going to be a big year for him. Also took the time to

Yes he was, had a chat, nothing to see here. Hogan's heroes so to speak, Johno Brown and Nick Riewoldt, he tries to model himself on them, so you may get your wish. Actually chatted to him about

Hard to ignore the urge to go to training when it's 26 degrees with nice cool breeze in the air. Really good crowd here at Goschs with a good 30-40 (maybe been around 50 before I left) people seeing a

Was there any training Monday the 15th?

This thread like so many others has wandered from locomotives to locomotion with and without matching calves. Anyhow a good distraction from work.

No expert, just had 3 serious leg injuries and about 4 years of rehab experience to go off

Being the leg-man that you undoubtedly are, and the off-season list changes that have taken place, any chance you'll be changing your avatar to Traccy's quads?

Having seen both a first pre season tappy, and a first pre season tracca in the flesh...... Petracca has nothing on the size tappy was walking round with as a 18yr old.

Must sound weird that I noticed this, but having had my injuries, and putting a huge focus on legs and core to get back playing myself, it annoyed the Sh!# out of me that a 18yr old could be that big and I had worked my ass off to be half that size

Actually he is fine, at the moment, have a look at the pic I have from yesterday on Twitter, I've had a couple of chats to him, they are keeping his mind busy, he doesn't know what the future will be, so he is just going from one 'milestone' to the next without worrying about the final outcome

I was down there for an hour.

Talked to Salem about what moisturising cream he uses, told me it's Palmolive and he let me rub some on his arm. Going to be a big year for him.

Also took the time to speak to Dom Tyson, asked him what underwear he is wearing, he laughed about it and was a good sport by posing for pictures in just his underwear. I think he wears Bonds but I got a little dizzy.

Big Maxy Gawn was looking the goods too now he has lost the beard, I was interested in what he used to shave it off but he didn't tell me. I asked 5 other trainers about it but they all gave me different answers, so just leave it alone please.

I also spoke to Nathan Jones and asked him where he lived so I could visit his new baby. When he got angry I pretended to be joking but don't worry fellas, I'll get it in time. Got the little one a present for Xmas so I'll speak to him on Wednesday.

Everyone else ran the 2km trial round the tan in 20 seconds, everyone looking absolutely sensational!

I knew you were a fake when you didn't talk to Salem about Arsenal..

Excuse the unfortunate multiple puns, but in all seriousness, what is a Watt bike that Watts is using? Is it different from a standard exercise bike? If so, how?

The mechanism is not necessarily all that different, but it's accurately calibrated in watts, and sessions can be uploaded to a computer.

With this, there are a number of software applications for analysis of load, work etc. etc., and you can accurately monitor and control training (loads) in a way that you just can't with an "ordinary" exercise bike.

It basically takes on-bike watt technology and analysis, the same that professional cyclists use, and applies it to an exercise bike. There are easier, cheaper alternatives, but Wattbike have positioned themselves well in the market, especially as an all-in-one solution.

I have always wanted to know how to train a house down so I did a google search, now I get it.

The one on the left is Dawes the one on the right is Hogan I think.

Black and white footage, maybe Dawes on the left and HL on the right, just like the old days at Gosch's paddock?

Couldn't stop laughing at this one.

and confirmed as the first golden ticket holder, allowing him to have a poor season and be completely excused by demonlanders citing the 'interrupted preseason' clause

who's next

Do you think it's possible that an interrupted/completely absent pre-season may actually hamper performance during the season? Could that be way the excuse is always whipped out - because it may actually be true?

So in his 7th preseason Jack Watts finally gets an overuse injury. How nice. That will teach him for trying.

I have to admit I was suprised that he's already played 95 games as mentioned in the article.

I'm hoping he'll do a Dunn, play around 100 average games then turn it around and become one of our most important players.

    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.
