Rob Jackson occasionally puts up videos on Instagram of the boys training and there was a really great one today of Petracca

 

for those who have Instagram there is some good videos of the boys training also, especially great to see some vision of the boys for us non-Melbourne supporters who only get to read the great reports on Demonland.

I believe Misson approves it, as a Rob Jackson is the MFC Strength and Conditioning coach

I bloody love the fact that Trengove is able to kick footys around.

Kudos to all who are able to give us these updates, much appreciated from regional Queensland.

Mate, kudos to you also. It's been bloody tough being a Dees supporter when you live in Melbourne, let alone regional Qld.

This seems a ridiculous weight and pressure on knees and back. We are developing a footballer not a weightlifter or weight room junkie. What are they doing?

Nah, its a good move. Its taken 5-6 years for blokes like Trengove to knuckle down in the weights room.

In the past we've had too many blokes who clearly didn't hit the gym. Petracca is just doing what is required, whereas in the past we've had blokes who just coasted.

If players coast in this team - they are going to look out of place, that is exactly the way it should be. Petracca is doing exactly what N.Jones would be doing, they want to go places, these are players we need. If Petracca looks as if he is trying to break his knee, then he'll be confident in his knee come game time. Its practical, this kid clearly models himself off of American sports.

Time will tell Ding I hope you are right, but there are a lot of dodgy blokes in gyms giving poor instruction and in some cases damaging bodies and careers. I have seen so many footballers muscle up with poor weight programs with detrimental results to their speed, agility and game.

Completely disagree. Trengove came to the club will an already mature solid body. Infact if anythinghe probably bulked up way too much and had to lose some muscle to get some run and speed in his legs. Bit like Petracca last year was mentioned by Paul Roos he had to lose some weight aswell which he has done.

I completely disagree with you. 

I constantly wondered why Trengove wasn't putting on muscle.  His upper body was especially poor.

Having done weights for many years it was obvious.

Well, you need worry no more if those photos of him are accurate and not a trick of the light.  He is looking exceptionally well contoured/sculpted in the upper body... just hope his legs can catch up.

I doubt it's a trick of the light...I'd say that he's been doing almost exclusively upper body work for the past two years. 

It's also good to note that his leg doesn't look too skinny despite him having been off it for so long.

I personally don't give two shits if he has a beer gut or a 6 pack as long as he has a cracking year in 2016.

Does this mean the auto-censor isn't working? Or has it just changed it's rating from R to PG during the upgrade?

I posted a relatively minor swear yesterday that I assumed would be censored and it seems to have slipped though.

I was thinking of asking a similar question to you regarding the auto-censor but I couldn't be arsed.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
