Without making too much of a fuss I am a little insulted that they announce the end of the year for fans and suggest further trainings are closed only to have an AFL.com.au writer do a report. Rude.

    Would the club have to approve the AFL reporter?

    It's a public place, so the notion of any closed training for Melbourne is a bit of a silly one. But I believe there's an understanding between clubs to respect sessions that are deemed closed. I guess that doesn't extend to the AFL's PR arm.

    nor does it really apply to the fans I would think

    Sorry I knew it was on today coz a few of the players told me on Friday, but I had to work, think they just didn't bother advertising it

    Bit slack, Saty!  Surely you could have snuck away for an hour or so without anyone missing you!  We, in these nether regions of the Colony, hang out for your scintillating reports.  Serious withdrawal symptoms are coming on!  (Think I'll have to have another whisky!)  LOL

    Thought I might drop in on Wednesday.  Can anyone confirm the start time?  I have a feeling it is a 9.30 start.

    And just for the record, did Heritier take part in training today?

    I would assume he was at training, given that he's still on the payroll and isn't injured (at least physically).

    Assumption, the mother of all screw ups.

    Fartlek training???

    Think sharp variations from outright 100% sprinting for 100-200 metres to  "recovery jogging' then back up to speed then back into recovery over and over and over. The unfortunate "fart" element has less to do with digestive issues than the northern european language of the dudes who devised the method.

    And, here I was thinking we'd devised a cunning new method of sprinting away from the opposition -- something akin to engaging an "after-burner"!  LOL  (Then, again, I'm just a silly old fart, so what would I know??)

    Scandinavian athletes have been doing fartlek training for the better part of 100 years and it works for increasing both speed and endurance.

    Did it in the military as well WJ, reason why I can still scoot with the best of them in my 'later years':rolleyes:

    It all depends on what I have imbibed the evening before Vagg, hence why fartlek could be an appropriate term

    And none on Xmas day. Seriously these are highly paid athletes. How do they get Xmas day off? They must be soft.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
