It's interesting for someone like me who always reads D'land but seldom posts (anymore) the often quite vitriolic posts that are directed to TDI's training reports. I'm assuming DD36 that you also at

That's such a pathetic argument. As long as the attack isn't personal then we are well within our rights to pot players for certain reasons, whether that be skill level, commitment on the ground, wor

I tweeted the Club asking for details of the 3k time trial, wanted to take some photos for Twitter, they said not for publication, assume they just want the run done and dusted, did say there is open training session tomorrow from 9.30am, if anyone wants to attend, last one before Maroochydore.

Its not open for publication because of the fact opposition clubs send spys down to try and get data down and see who is burning up the track. Most club take this matter pretty serious.

Well, since the Bombers' runs were plastered all over the 6pm news, one can only assume that Jim knows their players will be suspended for the majority of the season and not worthy of spying on.

I'm glad that, for the first time in years, I can hear about the time trials without mentions of Sam Blease coming last

...unless we hear the results from the Geelong time trials. :)

I like that three of our mid-poor kicks finish first, second and third haha.

But it also shows that Bail and McKenzie are are at least trying and who knows what may happen this year (i am one who thinks jordie would be lucky to get a game, but this is a good start for him).

Go dees :)

N. Jones, Dawes, Watts and Hogan didn't run. The top 23 all finished within one minute of each other:

1. T-Mac (6 seconds ahead of Bail)

2. Bail (5 seconds ahead of Jordie)

3. Jordie (3 seconds ahead of Grimes)

4. Grimes (7 seconds ahead of JKH)

5. JKH (was stoked with himself, probable PB. Finished 2 seconds ahead of Cross)

6. Crossy (filthy at himself, or just exhausted)

7. Howey (finished right after Cross, along with the next 5 in quick succession)

8. White

9. Stretch

10. Viney

11. Lamumba

12. Newton (elated at finish line, probable PB)

13. Dunny

14. M. Jones

15. Toumpas

16. Salem

17. Vince

18. Brayshaw

19. Harmes

20. O-Mac

21. Pedo

22. Tyson

23. Jetta

20 seconds later were Kent, Michie, Fitzpatrick, Vandenburg and Petracca (absolutely exhausted).
25 seconds later Frost, then 5 seconds later Garland, then Garlett 5 seconds after that.
Didn't recognize the player who came next (99% certain this was Kieran Collins, our AIS trainee), and King was last.
*May have missed a few players in the mix but top 20 is accurate.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
