Dunn and Lumumba were off the track by this stage. I think one of them, or even Oscar McDonald, will take his spot. His 2nd half was very solid against the Saints, but his first half was simply bad.

After NAB 1 and 2 I thought that, but I think his performance in NAB 3 (which I thought was quite solid) has put him right in the picture to play.  I really didn't think he would be to AFL standard for the first half of the season, but I think things are looking good for him to debut this weekend.

I think he offers some real creativity and vision off half back, and I have a feeling he is playing the role the coaches give him very well.

All 3 NAB games and being part of the 18 running through match day scenarios on the eve of the season start?  I think he's very likely.

It'll be a great half back line this week with Hunt, Oscar McDonald & Wagner

Unfortunately we are without car (flying down), so Casey may be a bridge too far. Will put it to the boy depending on what public transport options are like.

Thanks for the report Spencer.  The info re: the 18 who were doing some of the main drills was very interesting indeed.  It doesn't mean all of them will get picked, as there were some very handy players who didn't take part, but it gives us a pretty clear idea as to who will be playing come Saturday.

I'll touch wood as I write this as well, but it's also terrific to see our injury list is pretty small for this time of the year.  Three wins and a small injury list is a great way to roll into Round 1!

Fantastico!!  Thanks for that info... do you happen to know what the kick off time might be? (I should probably look it up myself I suppose)

Saty, do you have any idea what time the Casey match at Goschs will kick off?  I did a quick search of the MelbourneFC site and couldn't find anything.

How is Liam's knee progressing?

Thanks for asking...he's started running (but the shock of that gave him a touch of bursitis) and he had his first kick last Thursday...so coming along very nicely. He should be able to resume full training late April or early May.

Thanks very much for that...I didn't even think to look under training times (thick as two short planks am I)

Nah, when we're in Melbourne we always walk from the city to Goschs...it's quite a pleasant stroll along the Yarra.

I was down there for an hour or so.

Salem is still protecting his finger and not training at 100%, someone would have to be on stand-by, it must have been a fairly serious injury for him to carry it into a second week, and he will need to pass a fitness test later this week.

Also Oliver had a minor twinge in his lower calf by the end of the session. I would suggest it is very minor but given he is still a kid they may choose to rest him, not sure. They may choose to ease him off and re-hab him for a week, but if he doesn't play for the firsts I doubt if he'll play at Casey.

You guys are nailing these Jesus jokes.

 

I think it's time I intervened. You are being very naughty boys. We are about to witness the resurrection of the MFC and all you boys can do is make silly puns. Stop it now or the mighty one will smite you to the ground and send you to bed without your dinner. 

Now go and say three Hail Vineys and let's hear no more of this.

    TRAINING: Friday 8th December 2023

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Picket Fence endured the sweltering heat on a windy day out at Casey Fields to bring you the following Preseason Training Report. Blustery day at Casey, Ground NOT OPEN?? and the only other people I saw were one bloke on the far side and another Man and Woman also watching around the south Goals, had a small pair of Binoculars but looking through the fence was problematic.

    BACK TO BASE CAMP by Meggs

    Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions.   Undefeated in all 6 matches against the top teams (North Melbourne, Adelaide, Geelong, and Melbourne). They are worthy winners of the 2023 AFLW premiership.   Our ambition for a Season 8 back-to-back premiership was derailed.   In round 6 Adelaide spilled the beans on the template to outplay us. From there news spread fast to other top teams who applied similar intense physical pressure at the source which crushed our gameplan to execute vi

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.
