The new app is pretty cool I like it

Yeah they've done a good job.

Also just FYI if anyone is a Telstra customer, if you update the AFL app you automatically get the AFL Live Pass for free again this season.

I made it down to training for a little bit this morning, managed to get in a selfie which was pretty good. 

I spoke to Lewis (he's hotter in person) who said Melbourne is way better than Hawthorn. 

I left my satchel on the plane, does anyone know if there is a Louis Vuitton store in Marrochydore? 

I asked Salem about his Thyroid, he said they were good, we had a laugh together. 

The players did a few drills and kicked the ball around, looked pretty good to me.

Burgo mentioned in his diary that Pedersen has dropped 10 kilos and is now down to 93kegs. Great effort Pedo!

Photos are up too. Whatever gear Petracca is on i want some.

He's looked noticeably lighter all summer which is why it was strange one of those AFL.com.au articles said he came back in bad shape. Surely they stuffed that up. Does make me wonder if he'll continue as a key forward and not rucking without the extra bulk. 

I like how Burgo always slides in a few extra details during his camp diaries.

Not sure why people go on about Saty's comments.

He has his  opinion and he passes on info that he gets.

From that point on either enjoy the info or ignore it.

I  am glad he keeps contributing.

The quintessential training report.  I hope you found the Louis Vuitton store up there mate, that satchel is a big loss.

Today Jordan Lewis was teaching the boys about the fine points of unsociable football, viney went the best in unsociable drills,  watts just could not get his head around it,  CP5 would do it with a smile, nev hit the hardest, pedo duck his head,  Angus kept getting his head knocked and omac did not see it coming, overall it was a well run drill,  but many egos where bruised and Tyson hurt his knee again, some will question if it had any benefit to it, others will say they have done it as well,  others will be scratching their heads

I don't understand how Pedersen could drop 10 kilos. Does that mean he was not fully fit previously? Which then raises the question of why? Conversely, if he was fit, why was he physically developed to be 10 kgs heavier?

Just on Tyson and his knees, when I went to training in later December, one thing I noticed about Tyson (but didn't mention) was the way he stands and the mechanics of his legs.

When standing and walking, it's as if he is in a constant state of hyperextention. As if he has abnormally flexible knee joints and that the supporting ligaments and muscles surrounding the knee are unusually stringy. 

It just genuinely looked like his legs would snap at any second. I wonder if this contributes at all to these knee injuries that seemingly keep occurring. You'd have to think so.

Yes.

He has always carried some condition. Part of the 10kg would obviously be muscle as well.

But he was always carrying unneeded weight. Especially for the position he is required to play.

    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

    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
