Correct call re: Harmes.

Apart from the easy wins over the QLD sides, his form has been terrible. Although he was excellent in our first meeting with the Pies.

He was on standby if Viney did not come up.

Went to training today, with the lad. Feeling the love -  a few things in particular struck me:

 - Skills have improved considerably over the past year or so: much quicker and more accurate.

 - There is a fantastic camaraderie amongst this group - they seem incredibly tight.

 - Clayton Oliver is a beast - silky smooth and tough as they come. He could be one of the most inspired signings for years.

 - Jack Watts looks more and more assured and self-confident. He's clearly a leader amongst the group.

 - So glad to have Bernardo Vincenzo (as he's known in our house) at the MFC. The new smiling assassin.

 - Always impressed at the interraction between players and supporters at our club. Christian Petracca was straight over to the kids after the training session, signing shirts and high fiving.

 

Noticed that Dunny seemed a bit on the outer - running laps by himself, but not in the buzz of things.

Thanks all those Demonlanders for coming down to training despite what was going to be a wet and blustery day. We made a nice amount of money which will go to the Demon Army to continue their great work - hopefully some more "heads". Great to see so many kids there.

Yes Nev was swamped but not the last to leave - H was still doing laps. Very funny listening to Watts and Dawes sledge Petracca. Fantastic camaraderie

And thanks to you and the other unsung members of the Demon Army who man the sausage sizzles at training and the telephones on Tuesday nights.

Clarry time! Bit of live tackle practice for Harmsey with Clarry acting bag man. Nev (left with actual bag) and Tracc (hands on knees facing cam) looking on....

Yes he can! This one curled straight through the high diddle diddle.  In fact I didn't see the Hulk miss a shot from about 6 attempts from various angles and distance ...let's hope that form continues into QB

"Any attempt to put Tracc of his kick", says Dawesy (bit of revenge from Tracc's earlier attempts to do same!) ...

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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
