Kent was the only one to appear heavier than how I recall them at end of season. I would not say out of shape but certainly stood out to me as not looking right. Petracca looked no different to me than last year. I know it was the first session back but he really does not appear to push himself during running sessions unlike some which I find disappointing.

With Trac running with Kent, Frost and BenKen none of them seemed to be pushing really hard, they completed all the runs but could be under instruction not to push really hard

My report  had a chat to all the wounded

VDB ankle cleaned out, just getting back into it, not too far off

Mitch King, he and medical/fitness staff really pleased with his progress

Jack Viney, hip is fine, again making progess to full fitness

JKH hamstrings are fine, has daily program to build his core

Tommy Mc, who came disguised as Dante Exum, shoulder progressing, on schedule

 

 

Didn't mention Col Sylvia - getting ready for his first full preseason.

Dont worry AzzKika.  Im sure they'll work it out.  Its only football.  See the ball, get the ball, handball it, kick it, smash someone, get smashed by someone, get up, go and get it again, be on time, eat your vegies, get a beanie with a pom pom on top, buy a Nena Pasadena shirt...

....and don't let anyone carrying a needle anywhere near you.

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

Hahaha seen how many coaches we have champ? "No instruction".. gee whiz...

 

Just watched 7 news Stevo is a gem had Trac looking about to collapse and Hoges clutching his hamstring.

Hoges did have bit of tightness during the session, as he does now he immediately spoke to medical staff, had it massaged, like he does every session, had no issue completing the session

How much "kicking on goal" practice? Not that it's important or anything, just curious.

Love the irony BA

I'm jealous of Hogan, he looks good with any hairstyle, I'm stuck with a permanent. 

I've recently had to go with the greasy comb-over.

The wind plays havoc with my "hairs".

They are long enough now for an" Ad-exec from the 80s "ponytail.

I though Jetta looked like a man but not very old.So finally looks like he doesn't need ID to buy a beer-which some might say means he if finished.

When people say jetta looks old I feel extremely old given that i am always older than Neville,

I think wigs will make a comeback .

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

That's not ideal. 

I still think they need to work on his running technique to take the pressure off his back.

Some more images here for those interested in the new faces:

Thanks for link. 

Agree with those saying Billy Stretch looks stronger across arms and shoulders, as does Brayshaw, from those photos.

Wouldn't like to meet Maynard in a dark alley late at night either. Strong lad.

Seems that MFC Twitter has also recognised Saty at the opening of training:-

"It wouldn’t be the first day of the pre-season without an appearance from training regular @Demonpk! ? #myheartbeatstrue"

And a picture with Demonpk dressed to the nines and standing next to a bloke who I can only opine is a bodyguard.

Sorry, don't know how to reproduce the picture.

Anyway, please keep the reports and views coming. They're most welcome - from all posters who go to the sessions and make their observations.

Thanks.

No.  They are the only guys who will be left when our late picks come up.

Satyricon "Show us your guns"

Goody "No."

Other fellow "Show us your guns or I'll break your legs"

A decent pre-season and the bloke on the right solves our forward-ruck dilemma.

Thanks to Saty and all reporters live on the scene. Going to really try to get down from Sydney for an early next year session with some more skills focus but for now will have to rely on our training threads here.

 

Muchly appreciated

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • PREGAME: Collingwood

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
