BA   are you sitting down        NONE  although Hoges  did shape up at one point but changed his mind

How was Hoge's shaping up action Saty? Was his change of mind fluent or stuttered? Do we need Carey at the club perhaps to teach Hogan how to change his mind in a proper fashion?

A few comments on Hibberd looking sharp. Relatively nothing on Milkshake?

He seems a bit on the lean side from the photos in my opinion - not that it's worth anything because I wasn't at training.

All I took from the photos was that Hibberd and Bugg had been sharing styling tips in the off-season.

More to the point was his run up fluent or stutttterred?

And we need Carey (or some other great kick) to help Jesse etc it right.

Thanks for the reports. I'm currently in Spain so good to get any news. I headed down to the local Plaza de Torro with my camera but there wasn't much action there. I'll be back home around the time the full group return so will head down to training then with my trusty lense.

Coniglio in Barca according to afl.com. Time to get your inner-paparazzo on or at least a quiet recruitment word.

Melksham did what was required of him, he probably shares Buggs body type in my opinion, lean but defined, and not his style,  agree Hibberd does though

Thought my ageing Fitzroy Hipster look today left him for dead

Bugg is still the aerobic running monstet hardly raised a sweat yet was leading his group

As for Hoges, got as far as getting the ball in hand facing the goal about 30 out and 45 deg then changed his mind

There wasn't even any goalkicking at the end perhaps again they were instructed not to

Haha. Just woke up the fiancée laughing at that. Simple, but as usual, DA, well played.

You will notice Hogan giving the cameraman the death stare when he was getting the massage, not a fan of having his pic taken whilst this is happening, I learnt the hard way and got the death stare once

Just an observation,

Saty has trimmed his beard.

Milkshake still looks daft even in red and blue.

I think they are under no instruction, but all are lazy and looking to start slow so that their running looks to significantly improve throughout the pre season. Especially Trac

I'd be really impressed if this were true. I don't traditionally think of footballers having the skills to think that far ahead.

Not a question to sound offensive, but have you ever played football? It is one of the most common tactics in local footy to look like you've improved significantly from day 1 of preseason to end of preseason

I'm not at all offended. I haven't played football since I was a schoolboy, which is now over 40 years ago. I take your point, but I would have thought all the technology available to the club would identify the malingerers from the dedicated.

Lols.

You don't really think players within the AFL would be able to 'trick' elite level performance gurus (who have spent years studying what the human body is capable of) into thinking that they've drastically improved their running capabilities by easing their way through earlier sessions, do you?

Like, I mean, You're making a funny joke yeh?

My initial comments were all tongue in cheek, as I carried on with it a bit further. But his response was to me being sarcastic in regards to players being given a program and it's got much more legs than necessary. 

 

I dont think our players would not be under instruction in regards to running at pre season. 

I don't think they could get away with being lazy in the early sessions to improve later in the pre season and look better. 

I didn't think I needed to explain that all those comments had my tongue planted firmly in my cheek

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
