    Work was productive for a while...And now begins the constant refreshing throughout the morning awaiting live reports of houses being trained down and bodies being bulked up....

    I'm heading in for a look. First time I've ever been to a training so looking forward to it. Doubt I'll be able to report much on individuals, I battle to tell the players apart even when they're wearing numbers on game day

    You forgot the ones who came back all flabby.

    Have tried to take a panorama photo of the ground. Had to shrink it to upload it, hopefully the quality isn't too cruddy

    I get that we need to get fitter and need more endurance  - but running until we topple over the end of the earth is a little too much

    I swear those hill climbs get steeper each year.

    Warmup was kicking soccer balls. Then some short kicking

    Tommy Mac is hanging out with the warmup group, he's not in the training kit, just in a pair of boardies and a tshirt. Like I said I'm useless with recognising players so I won't have heaps to say individually. Can see big Spencil out there and Nev, not sure how many other older ones are out

    I love training reports. How is Sylvia going? Is this the break out year?

    I did not know he was in!

    Watching the rehab group do short leads and kicks. Mitch King's kicking is pretty darn average, 25, 30m kicks to a soft lead out in front and he's maybe hitting the target 1 out of 5

    Thanks for the updates.

    Have had to ask Saty who a fair few of them are. Been running lots of laps. I think it's Bugg (don't quote me though) who has been at the front a lot

    Thanks, Redbeard.  But, I'm confused.  WHO has been running lots of laps?  You?  Saty?  The players...?

    I think that's a wrap. Sorry I don't have too much to say, reporting isn't my forte and being this is the first training I've ever been to I can't compare it to anything. Looks like they might be interviewing Gus for the DeeTV so might see that online layer today

    LOL.  The bung wing might explain the "interesting" perspective in that photo of the ground!  Get better soon, mate!

    Have you noticed if they speed up when running past Saty?

    Curious.

    Redbeard's helpful advice that Satyr was there tells us two things:

    We should anticipate a Satyr update later today and this thread will now reach at least 8 pages as Satyr's posting generates queries and comments mixed with a soupcon of derision.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
