Didn't hang around for too long and grabbed a coffee at one stage so might've missed a few players.  Not sighted: Jones, Viney, Garlett, Lumumba (?retired), Hibberd (?icing his knee), Vince, Lewi

Excellent report from DeeSpencer covered all the drills King is recovering from ACL so his kicking is all over the place watched him do a couple of perfect hard low flat passes then horrible floa

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

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

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....

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

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

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

You seem to be spotting them ok Redbeard. 

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

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

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

 

Ha I wish I could, off work with a bung wing so that's why I was able to come watch

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

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
