I have about a 4 day window between unemployment and overseas travel early next year. Might try to get down to training and get my last hit of footy for a while. If I do, I'll be sure to take creepy iPhone photos and write a really bad report where I get every player confused. I'm sure you all look forward to that!

I think the last time I attended training I was in high school... and we were playing finals.... so about 10 years ago. Depressing thought.

Petracca's knees look in good shape!

By all accounts he worked hard at his rehab ... deserves the reward and play the whole season!

I hope you know your EPL as well Jaded. Sadly, Nev Jetta's (?) wife won't be overly impressed if you ask him if you are allowed to take photos of him flexing.

I'm pretty sure that even less people want to see me in Lycra riding a scooter with a beard than they do Stye

If you have Instagram follow Rob Jackson fitness.

He is the fitness guy at Melbourne and I have seen a number of photos of the guys already into training. Yesterday it was Dunn, Dawes, Viney and Petracca doing some kind of circuit work.

Don't talk to the players and get any interesting goss cos you'll be accused of being an apologist. Don't give any opinions cos you'll be accused of knowing nothing about footy. And don't favour anyone or you'll be accused of having favourites. And don't tell us that we've improved because you'll be told "it's only training".

Really looking forward to your reports!

That should produce a five word report.

As long as we train the house down and have really good training standards then that is all that matters!

That should no longer be a problem for Saty, as most of his favourites have been delisted.

There may be players doing a bit of early work, however, Mahoney said the younger players will be officially back on Monday November 9.

Jetta and Salem were his two main pin ups weren't they? They're still kicking around.

I hope he's enjoying his new job and doesn't have to tolerate too many lemon sucking hair shirt wearers.

Still too egotistical. Need to drop the first word.

I think you will find that the first word was in fact a number. As in, One went to training today. Much better.

    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
