I spent a few minutes down there this morning and saw tyson getting his knee rebandaged. He still looked a bit proppy to me but seemed to participate in everything.

They spent all the time I was there playing a handball game of footy with 6 teams - 2 groups of 3.

2 groups would try to move the ball and score a goal with only handballs. This would go on for around 7 mins and then 1 team would go off and rest whilst the 3rd team would come on.

Having not seen much training I'm not sure whether this is done regularly but it looked pretty slick with fast movement, some good tackling, mostly clean hands etc. Maybe this is our strategy to break through Freo's strangulation defence. Most of the players are adept at lifting the arms before being tackled and dishinig off a handball. Targets were well hit. I did see Toumpas fumble quite a few times but it might havejst been whilst I was watching. Others who saw the who session might have a view..

It was stunning morning and the players looked like they were enjoying the workout and running hard.

I find this strange. Maybe they will give Dawes and Pedersen some training privately.

Or we are actually planning to play Spencer and Jamar in the same side (yikes).

Sounds like we will if the Jamar interview this morning on SEN is a guide.

I guess we'll know soon.

Gee everybody is so excited about Sunday they missed another important bit, Viney is only a week away from a return to footy

Round 5 injury report said 2-3 weeks. Hopefully its sooner but I assume he needs at least 2 full weeks of training before playing

They have been doing this drill for about a month now, I only saw Dawes getting restrapped, must have been on opposite side at the time, Tyson was fine I asked, he did the whole session, would have thought if there was an issue he wouldn't have

PS I didn't speak to any players. :)

Why not?

Not prepared to trust your lovely lady to do the Casey-watching for you?

She'll be at the G as well, Jeffy being the new favourite

Too risky if you get an injury.

My guess is because it's Sandilands and Clarke they'll go with Spencer. If it rains they might go for Riley. Brute contested ball winner in the wet. thn

I think Spencer Jamar combo is something Id like to see us live with this year.

If we can win in the middle and provide another, admittedly mediocre, tall option forward, its a team that would be tough to play against for many teams.

We cant keep hoping the Russian can do it on his own.

Spencer is as ready as he is going to get. Exciting.

Irrespective of the line up on Sunday, we need to start giving match time to either Spencer or Gawn. Either they develop or we trade for a ready to go ruckman, but either way its a priority

Early in Jamar's career, when White was our No.1, he spent a lot of time riding the pine. I think his development was delayed by Daniher's neglect. I don't have a clue what Roos' plan for our ruck development is, I just hope he has one. Frost might turn out to be a serviceable backup, but that's not enough.

Agree, it's a priority. At this stage I think we will be looking outside but it's still a long season ahead and plenty of time for Gawn & Spencer to stake a claim.

Young King is developing nicely, and they are making sure he can play forward as well, kicked about 6 or 7 goals in the practice games and the 2 Development matches he has played in

Spencer may have been around for ever but he is still only 25

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
