Jaysus, I thought this was a Training Post.

I apologise - they ran a great deal and not much else.

There you have it - a synopsis of AFL training in November...

    Great report DM. Funny you mention about Oscar Mac because pretty sure i read somewhere that he is actually 198cm tall now and had a bit of a growth spurt when he arrived at the club. Next time if anyone can get a chance of oscar standing next to his brother he actually towers him a bit lol.

    I noticed the height difference in a photo that appeared on Instagram just after TMac returned from overseas. Oscar looked a lot taller (certainly more than 2cm taller) but I couldn't be sure because it could easily have been explained by the camera angle or the way the two were standing.

    If he has indeed grown to the 198cm mark and given he was recruited as a forward who can also play ruck (noted he's training with both backs and forwards), I wonder whether the fact that we have Oscar and Max King coming through the ranks would mean we are less likely to be looking at Sam Weideman or Harry McKay in the draft?

    [That's not to say that I'm necessarily comparing these players on ability or potential]

    You know it's the off season when one Instagram shot of backyard cricket starts a 7 page conversation about batting

    I'm told they started this cricket game at 10am, Hogan won the toss and elected to bat. Much to the frustration of the others, he was still there at stumps.

    There's NOTHING he's not good at.

    Declaring?

    Re-watched our last game of this year against GWS and the commentary team suggested Hogan's run up approach to goal was 'setup like he was going to kick on his left' - which could explain the stuttering approach as he walks in to manipulate himself to kick on his right.

    2 hands - right

    Dad - Right handed in everything

    Brother - Right handed - cricket & golf, handball and boucing ball - left handed

    Me - Right handed - cricket and golf - left handed - handball and bouncing ball - right handed.

    Have no idea how that came about!

    Any word on how Trengove is traveling?

    He should be back with the rest of the senior boys on Monday. My guess is that he'll be working with the rehab group for a while, but that is purely speculation.

    Nice big backyard, clearly not in a new estate/house!

    Old house the fence looks 40 years old.

    what, no training again today?

    AFL footballers have it easy

    Any word on how Trengove is traveling?

    Apparently a right footer, but throws left handed, bats right handed with an average of 42 and plays golf as a leftie with a handicap of a sore ankle. Cuts the Christmas cake with both hands on the knife. That should just about cover it.

    Not sure about training but good to see a few of the boys getting together to play some backyard cricket once the serious stuff finished.

    Oscar behind the stumps, Jesse batting, vanders, JKH and Salem all fielding and I think Petracca bowling (out of shot). Pic by Gus Brayshaw.

    OMG Is Jesse wearing a West Coast jumper?????

    Was he smiling???

    when one bats one uses both hands, so it is neither left or right handed

    rather it is more a case of left sided or right sided

    interesting note. ambidextrous literally means both sides right handed (dexter being the right hand, with sinister being the left)

    ambilevous means both sides left handed and is generally meant in a demeaning manner such as clumsy. there is also the term ambisinistrous

    Get your hand off it.

    Get your hand off it.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
