To whet your appetite......and if he keeps developing as he is........and comparisons which we all hate.......Jack Darling.......had the opportunity to spend half an hour with him a couple of weeks ago, absolutely stoked to be on an AFL list, regards it as a privilege, determined to give it absolutely everything.....thinks the development he is getting from the coaches is first class

Anb hands in close are a thing of beauty. Tackles hard too.

i know it is hard to break into seniors midfield at the moment, but he surely must be close. Had the ball on a string today.

Thanks Saty. You get an idea of what someone's like in your mind and it's always a little different. I've heard the Darling comparison. Just looked at an interview and get the impression he's a tough hombre.

Same thing said by Weeds family so it was written on here last week.

Finally we have a REAL footy club by the sound of it. Roos might get most of the plaudits, but our entire development team need a pat on the back. (Even if we dont win tomorrow)

Turnover and Dawes spots up weed who is now getting reward for effort.

Credit to dawesy, as despite competing for the same spot, looks like he has really taken the young weed under his wing.

They've worked well together today.

That's true, but Roos set the whole thing in motion and maybe we wouldn't have attracted some of these guys if he wasn't there.

I give him credit for turning us into a football club again, first time for decades.

And don't underestimate the importance of selling a great product to the family. Remember, these boys are generally still incredibly influenced by mum and dad. Hopefully not in a 'this fish is overpriced, let's punch on' Damir Dokic way, but in a way that allows us to retain this impressive crop.

I've enjoyed my first Casey game for the year. All were impressive and they future of Melbourne is bright with the young players we have. Impressed with Dawes, Terlich, Newton, Trengove and ANB.  Can't wait for tomorrow although I can't go as son has his own football game.  Casey will win by about 5 goals. Battery now nearly dead

Peter Jackson got Roos in and said 'what/who do you need", and then ensured he got it

As you all know I speak to the players quite often, all have said, it is a team now, there are no stars, you get a role, you play it, you play it consistently well, you stay in the team, if you can't crack a spot in the position you normally play, you can have a crack at another position at Casey, see how you go, see if you can get in the team that way.......Michie.............the coaches will help you have a crack at the other spot......the ball is very much in the players hands.....you make the effort you get rewarded

As for Neal Bullen, had a bit of an interrupted pre season and Clayton Oliver jumped him, just has to bide his time, but we are going to have a battle hardened replacement who is in top form should we need him

We are on the road to being a successful club on field, being a destination club, successful financially and re earning the respect of the AFL football community. 

It so heartening for all the long suffering loyal fans.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
